Hey guys,
Trying to beat the January Blues with some customs...and it works! Had a huge amount of fun finally getting to some dusty, shelf-warming light customs that I should have done ages ago.
First up, WST Arcee. This is a garage kit from Ebay. Not sure why the paint apps don't look great on Camera, in person, the uneveness doesn't show.

She's insanely small...smaller than WST Hot Rod!!!

Wonderfully sculpted, even transforms!

Closeup...these guys are insanely small. Painting was, um, tricky to say the least.

There is still a bit of debris in the joints from the direct manufacturing process...it's hard to clean and again, doesn't show as much in person as it does with the camera. I keep cleaning them with a toothbrush, lolzzz....
More photos and info in the next post...
