Added the picture of his robot mode with the claw to the first page.....Thanks for the idea kaiden... i made him have 4 claws as Wolverine has three ...and remembering that was said in transformer the movie.... i cut the blades out of a plastic icecream lid and modified his pile driver to fit them in ....

Thanks man i glad you all like it ... That idea with the claws was genius Kaiden ... im looking at him now and it just added a whole new personality to him ...making him instantly different from sideswipe and red alert ... Also on another note is that i know not to do a clear gloss over water decal now ... it make the edge very visible as it reflect light at different angle on the edges

Hmm, clear coats are generally recommended otherwise you risk damaging the decal through handling. Probably too late now, but next time, trim the decal film as close as you can to the art work. No need to cut completely, but just score a new hobby knife blade around the art to cut through the film layer. In the case of the hood, I'd cut out all four scratch marks and apply them separately. You might also need to apply a bunch more microsol to help soften the decal film. If they're tough enough, you can apply microsol and tamp the decals down by applying firm pressure with a cotton bud or similar. Still looks great, despite the visible edge.

yeah i try a matt coat next time and see how that looks.. i used heaps of mircosol on it ....and cut it heaps closer next time as well... But love the small detail that the decal can produce ... it open heap more possibility and be great for small faction symbol
