All I can say is damn, keep up the good work. Both this and your Leader Bumblebee are amazing. These are light years beyond what I could ever do in any of my repaints. I have to say that seeing these makes me want to get back into repainting.

I have lost all sight in my left eye due to diabetes complications so my depth perception is pretty much non existent. Its really hard to get used to and this happened about a year ago. Maybe I should hit up Big Lots or Family Dollar to pick up some practice pieces.

I've really wanted to get back into painting but when I try I just end up getting frustrated. I've already had three surguries on it and it had no effect on my vision. I do enjoy checking out other people's work though.

I have so many figures that I want to update but they'll have to wait for a while until I get used to this disability.
