hi
well sanded, flatted and gone into silver, weathered as i dont want the matrix all shiny and new, after all, its been pasted down from leader to leader, just got to get the ball part into a nice orangey colour, and paint the inside of the ball, im going to do the inside with glow in the dark blue, so when its dark,it will have an eerie glow,
Hotrod." the Matrix!"
Galvertron,"It will do you no good autobot, it cannot be opened!!!"
Hotrod," not by a decepticon!!!
Galvertron," like it or not,were allies now against the common foe!!!

all the best

thats really nice of you big F, well charity gig went well, hoping to do again, sometime soon, although i might not have prime next time around as someone is sniffing around him, i was asked to name my price, so i gave a fair price and the balls in their court, so to speak, basically told him, its a one of piece, as i never repeat my work, and the only one i know of at that size and detail. your more than welcome to alway pop in for a cuppa and see him, and ravage if your ever my way, kettles always on
all the best
colin:thumbsup
