G2 colors Animated Grimlock

[Sentinel Prime]

Hi there! Glad to see ya.

I had a spare Animated Grimlock laying around, so I thought I'd give him the G2 treatment!

Just wrapped on this, and it took alot longer than I thought. I basically had to MAKE myself stop! This is basically a repaint of Animated Voyager class Grimlock. I used various shades of Dupli Color Enamels, including Intense Blue Pearl and Medium Garnet Red. The gold was painted using a base coat of silver, then hand painted with Tamiya clear yellow. The sword was given a coat of gunmetal for the rock parts, then dry brushed with sliver. Finally he was given 2 coats of Pledge Future to maintain the super glossy, almost wet look.

He looks delicate, but he's surprisingly tough. That pledge future really turns into armor for paint once cured!

Any comments, love, hate or critiques are encouraged, thanks for your time!
