air brushed him

but i spray painted the windows and windsheild. i was scared if i used the automotive paint on the windows, it might melt.

measured the stripes first... then printed in on a paper via laser printer for better sharpness, traced it with a cutter and cccaaaarrrreeeeffffuuuullllyyyyy placed it on the car....

it was a pain but it was worth it :)

That blue is very slick. So the stripes are decals? They look very cleanly done.

My only crit (aside from the remaining yellow parts you've already brought up), is that I think that the robot guts don't look so nice just left in black. Some more drybrushing would make all the molded details stand out better, and will look better with the blue color scheme IMO. :)

Still, this is some great painting overall, wats. :thumbup:
