This was a gift from a friend and as it had allready been partly trimmed (the eyes very trimmed lol)i decided it wasnt going to be a TK.

It was biscuit coloured ABS and the pull was pretty good as you can see, so i decided to either turn it into a TD or a TX, i had to do a couple of repairs on it, and it was going to need painting anyway so i decided to "TX" it as i love the silver black look....

 

This is it when first assembled.

The first coat of black.

This is it after a few coats of black and a polish with some good car polish (Mer, it can be used on fresh paint without taking the paint off like t-cut does).

As it was a gift i couldnt say no to it and yes i know its more than likely its a recast but please no recast discussions/arguments here there is a thread allready for that, B)

UPDATE: frown is now painted as are the stripes, traps & tears, Hovi's re-installed - just gotta get some lenses, fit the screen behind the frown and some sort of liner .... oh and cut down the huge screws holding the ears on B)

I think it turned out well. Too bad about the huge eye openings.

 

Thanks, yea pity about the eyes but it just means they will have a more ESB look to them and with some good mirrored silver lenses it will look ok i think :P
