Thanks, Ray. The cost to make one of these is right around $100. Maybe a bit more.

Well with no styrene showing up I decided to redo the windows on Prime. I cut out the old ones. Then added new larger ones sprayed with clear blue. Also, I repainted the frames with a darker silver.

I'm really very happy with the results.

Thanks, guys. I think the clear windows gave it the final touch I was looking for. Before something always seemed off to me.

Just fan-flipping-tactic work, J!

The truck is one of the best accessories ever.

I hate to say it, but I think you'd be better off scratch building the truck, you've obviously got the skills... that one looks good, but it seems pretty small. Then again, if the truck mode is more of an accessory, that works fine. It just pales in comparison to your original builds on the robot modes.

Thanks, Dan. It is just an accessory. I happened to have that truck, so I painted it up just for fun.

I repainted the Voltron Green Lion. I'm going to redo it- priming it first this time, but the basic idea is what I wanted.
Before....

After....

Here's the 2nd attempt- primed....
