To Jipe : What's official? I don't get your question. To nightmareB4macross : All done with Lacquer Metal colors from Airbrush. To Grayson72 & promethuem5 : Some pics below for you. To the rest who gave comments : Thank You.

Last pic. The colours I choose were mostly metallic in nature & very similar in contrast. Eg, Silver, steel, iron, etc. It takes a close up look to see the color's subtle differences. It just looks grey from far.

See the difference? By the way, is there anyway to post multiple pics per posting. Had to use photoshop to combine this 2 pics into 1.

Cut the 2 segments facing the tip

The original fist. Circle in red is the wrongly positioned thumb. A thumb in that position is very vunerable. No difference for robots.

Notice the angle

See the wires?

Hi, just saw the trailer for the movie 'Stealth' & reminded me of a Battroid Custom I did couple of months back. Here're some pics & gimmicks to share. 1. Re-designed the fist. Notice that all Battroid fist have their thumbs wrong? (see circled area). Nobody clenches their fist like that. The thumb is in 3 segments. Just saw off the 2 segments towards the end, sand the edges straight, then re-glue as needed. 2. Re-did the wing angle. It's quite a waste to keep the wings in. I just bended some three 1mm wires & stuck them on with Super Glue. 3. Eye Visor is painted Green & Red per side. Green for night vision, red for heat infra vision. It's a stealth battroid after all. 4. Dry-brushed the skull emblem with enamel silver, folowed by enamel gold.

Extremely well done variations! it's amazing what a creative & dedicated modeler can do.
