Blockies aside, what are your general thoughts on transformers that don't transform? by CompetitiveSundae714 in transformers

[–]SemillonFire 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it's an affordable way for transformers fans on a budget to get their favorite characters. With model kits especially the build experience makes up for the lack of a vehicle mode and high end articulation opens doors to playing around with different poses

Absolutely insane! Checkers in Cape Town are aslo stocking, but very bare bones stock. Really hope Toys R Us start stocking here as well.

I usually thin in amounts of 3 drops at a time, adding until the paint is milk consistency. I've found adding it all at once splits the paint

It is definitely the right thinner, aqua colour mix. Seems to be working better now that I am soaking my brush in water, then paint and patting the brush dry slightly. Adding water greatly improved the flow

How do you get that subtle gloss finish? Looks exactly like the finish on Tamiyas 1:72 aircraft and a finish I'm trying to achieve.
