Well, us 'specialist' actors try to keep our professional names quiet. Didn't want to upset Mr O, otherwise he may reveal that I am in fact known as Phil McCavity.

You did good. That's a dead ringer for Botcon TC.

That is some top work there. Makes me want to do the Nemesis repaint of my spare Movie Voyager Prime I've been telling myself I'll do for months now.

Thank you kind sir!

Main problem with him is that he's not designed to be transformed really. As I'm an impatient b'stard, I didn't sand down at all and he could do with a lot more protection!
He suffers badly from rubbing off.
But I'm only gonna display him in bot mode, so he's fit for his purpose!

My god kapow are quick my present has already arrived but I was out and so was everyone else so it will be picked up by my dad tomorrow. Now its time for me to start guessing what it is Animated Shockwave , Universe Cyclonus with Nightstick, Hound with ravage, Cheetor or a henkai. I dont know it's to much and I'm to excited.

Nice thundercracker Oddsey, I like.

Enamel paints slightly thinned and an airbrush.(Revell and Humbrol enamels, nothing special.)
Yeah he's got a couple of thin coats of 'gloss cote', so has slight protection. Could of done with some more, but I'm too impatient.
Gonna stay in bot mode, so I'm not too fussed, but he will suffer from rubbing off if he's transformed as I didn't sand down before painting either.

well hound is released boxing day so thats possible but unlikely, and cyclonus is released on Jan 30th 2009 so im guessing its one of the others. I was gonna buy hound and cyclonus on friday but chose to pay for things that i could get now rather than wait lol.

Xybertoys never cost anything to ship, ive had shite loads from them and they basically lie on the import paperwork thing and say its only worth a fiver or something so it gets ignored (a shipment from them containing skylynx, mp3 soundwave henkei hot rod and encore jazz only cost £3.50 according to the import label on the box lol). As for delivery, im fairly sure im right in saying they ship it to germany first (or was it hollad?????) then here, so its usually 7-14 days

Kapow Toys had Hound and Cyclonus in earlier this week, so could be any of the ones he listed!!
Bloody sold out within about 6 hours though!!
