DOTM Sentinel Prime (Part 2)

I wonder why the designer decided to use yellow LEDs for Sentinel Prime's eyes? Shouldn't it be blue? Also, black V-fins look really weird.

After days of painting and dry brushing, here are some close-up shots of this awesome toy.
The rubber hose section of the High Reach Extendable Turret (HRET) was slightly bent, probably cos I didn't store the toy properly. This had become sort of permanent, such that if I tried to straighten it, it would quickly bend itself back. I recalled the hot-cold method as taught me by Tritone some years back. This was used to straighten bent Gashapons.

The method is quick,simple and brilliant. Just pour boiling water into a small container, dip the offending rubber piece into the water for a few seconds. The bent rubber piece will straighten by itself automatically! Really amazing. After that, quickly dip that piece into ice cold water to 'stop the cooking'. Thanks for the tip bro ^^

Lastly, the Primax blade and shield. I use gold paint to highlight the runes on the Primax blade to give it a 'One Ring to rule them all' feel :p
