Awesome work dude, especially considering your resources are more limited than all the "pro" custom Mafia

Hehe, yeah. I did most of this on my lap on my living room with my three cats and all the fur and fluff and crap in the air that comes with it that can ruin the paint.
Wish i had a bigger house with a shed or something dedicated to painting but i dont so gotta make do.

Youre not in that Mafia buddy, so dont take it personally. Just a little harmless prodding at the overall attitude between certain people in the community.

Yes, yes it is its terrible here. If you can even find a semi-decent hobby shop thats local, all you will likely find is a small selection of Tamiya Acrylics and Humbrol enamels. And even then there wont be a full range of colors, it'll be very limited.
You cant get HOK paints over here either.
And dont even get us started on how hard it is to buy TF's here, since Hasbro are idiots and never send over enough stock, they are too worried about making sure the united center of the universe has enough.
We get whats left over, the scraps.
It sucks here.

Oh and thanks for the compliment!

I might want some LED's in my next one, do you accept commissions?

As Dubz says I wasn't having a dig at you, there are a few people with oversized egos in the TF customising community though and some of them seem to enjoy looking down on anyone that's not got endless resources to throw at projects.

Here's an example for how difficult Transformers can be to get here,

Last year I probably bought 30-35 different Transformers.

Of those precisely 3 were bought in person at a store, everything else was either ebay or Kapow Toys.

This year has been slightly better due to the RTS & some Generations waves actually being released at retail but I imagine Movie collectors will be going the ebay/import route past the first couple of waves as Hasbro UK won't bother bringing them in.

ooh I didn't take it towards me.... I am proud of the work I do, but I have never been jerk towards anyone... but being in the "middle" of the whole customizing scene I know the word "pro" has become a rather dirty one due to a few artists attitudes... sad really.....

And Dubz....Sorry man... can't help you with the LEDs... however, all you really need is a soldering iron, solder, and some wires... now I know those can't be that hard to get right?

And geez..... The U.K. sounds like an expensive place to be a Transformers fan...

Thats why i always liked you Encline, your head is in the right place, as opposed to up your own a$$ like some.

That sucks about the LED's, im sure its a lot more involved then how you make it sound. I mean, where do you put the batteries and the switches, and then theres all the positive and negative stuff, and resistors too?

Sweet work, sir.
