Very true, am halfway through painting one at the moment and i hate it, i may just throw it away and not use it, anyway nice job on the paint, could do with a couple more highlights on the face and skin, purple in the metallics looks really good though.
i'm painting one at this time (almost done, it will be on the web asap) and i must admit the model is not perfect... but this pic is not so good, so it's difficult to judge paintjob. Still, i like the metal effects! cheers
