barrels of awesome! I saw your bits pictures on the Twitters, it's impressive that you got him back together.

The paint has come up looking very nice.

Looking good.

Did you do something to the clear plastic? It looks less smokey in the side by side pics.

You know, I didn't realise that while doing the custom or when taking the pics. I suspect there's 2 things at play - a very slight reflection of the blue on the custom, and the more likely contributor, a difference in the plastic colour. The base model for the custom was a recent Hasbro release, where as the comparative model is an original Hasbro release from a number of years ago. Another difference I notice (that pisses me off just a little) is the gold chrome claws on the dino legs/robot arms is beautiful on the more recent release, but a poor, slightly dull gold painted on the earlier Grimlock. Other than that, the earlier one has generally better paint apps.

Wasn't the first Hasbro release the only one with the tampo'd stripes on the robot mold shoulders too?

Could be. They are present on the model I used for the custom, but not coloured.

Damn, that's some good work! Man I'd buy a G2 Grimbo in a heart beat. Especially if he had cheesy Big Grim on him somewhere.
