[/quote]I always thought all that that Italians and their oil talk was BS until I found out it wasn't :shock:

I feel like such a noob over hear with just one type of olive oil. Don't even get me started on balsamic vinegar.

Oil Slick is a cool bot and reminds me of...

Granted, I've never seen TFA so I'm strictly talking design-wise.

You should try Sesame Oil, it goes great with stir fry.

I have done! It is tasty indeed, just not as easy to find in Italy.

It's no joke. My wife learned to cook from her Italian grandmother. We have an entire cupboard filled with various oils.

I mean, you need the various stages of oilitude.

[quote="WreckerJack"]You should try Sesame Oil, it goes great with stir fry.[/quote]Yes, sesame is good, but more of a finishing oil as it has a very low smoke point.

After but a month, I have received a parcel from ScottyP!

SHATTERED GLASS ALPHA BRAVO

Also, huh.

Those stickers make it perfect! Did you stick them or did ScottyP?

That is all the mind of ScottyP - this is not the first time. It is still amusing.

You know what I forgot? Something to call out that it combines with Hot Spot, therefore also combines with Alpha Bravo

Glad it finally got there!

Yay for Dreadwind/SG Alpah Bravo! How is hanging with his normal-verse self?

I think "this dumb thing" could also be a bra for robots.

Yanno like those coverings people put on sport cars to prevent bugs and rocks from hitting the front end? Here is a link to prove I am not just making up juvenile things that don't exist. :lol:

Tried something different for a change.

Bonus shot: coffee, tea, or... me?

[quote="Va'al"]Bonus shot: coffee, tea, or... me?

[/quote]Prowl and coffee of course. I like my coffee how I like my Prowls; strong, dark and harsh :lol:

I like the way the sun has hazed out the back lit pic and I can't hellp but feel the storage room pic should be full on B&W, especially as your sig pic 8-)

I feel like dad Prowl from Animated is a more wholesome precursor to prick Prowl from IDW.

The pics don't feel all that different to me, but the DO feel good!

What exactly did you do different?

News Credits: 295 · by **WreckerJack** » Mon Feb 05, 2018 9:39 pm

Prowl and a cup of tea. Give me coffee and you will never get me off the ceiling.

Looks like a really nice figure btw.

Thanks! This was today's IG post.

Animated Prowl is still the best motorbike Transformer ever committed to plastic, and one of the most poseable ever.

I took several multiple shots of each, aimed for natural lighting, and transferred onto laptop before uploading. And played with perspective more than usual, gonna keep trying that! Still my usual Fairphone 2 12MP camera though.
