Or maybe test it on a dollar store clear rubber toy. You could have a whole rainbow of Kremzeeks.

Hahaha, I haven't attempted any painting yet bet will keep it in mind.

Oh I thought when you said you did customs it meant painting too. Sounds like a good time to start

Okay my thoughts. This is MP Ironhide. The red is stellar. The transformation is logical and not frustrating. The paint is top notch, especially the greys. I like the clickity arms and knees. Happy I bought it. Still not a fan of the hip skirt but I never noticed it after a while.

Yes, much better IMO. I don't think any of the other MPs have such a nice finish.

A word of caution, like Sideswipe, careful not to press on the windshields too hard.

This review shows the steps nicely.

If I had to change anything, it would be to make his head a bit fatter. Just a tad. The hip skirt really could have been easily addressed with a couple more hinges but whatever.

Alt mode seems smaller than I expected but probably is to scale.
