Building this one as a second quick entry for Plamo's WOOB 03 :

So far done some simple mods to allow for easy painting and adding some metal bling. Aiming for a 'high-shine' version for this one by using Alclad Chrome and clear colors.

Looks like it will be an interesting build. I look forward to your progress.
Also I respect that your doing oob colors, but if it were me I would change that green. I just feel that it clashes too much with the orange and red. Still best of luck with your build.

Thanks! Those metal transfers are available from Akocreations.com and they are well worth the buy.

Would you recommend using the Chrome as a base for gold, versus their normal pale gold colour? I'm thinking that a two-step proccess should look better.

Alas for the lack of wenches!  For there is much ado about humping!
