I was thinking of doing that, but thought the toy was a bit rubbish. You've proved me wrong - it looks great!!

Wow, I completely agree Baron. I took one look at the original toy and thought it was crap. That looks awesome. Are you going to leave the engine cage and missiles silver? I'd go for yellow personally. Great job.

It looks excellent - it's almost like a 25th version. Is that a custom Blades too? He looks too clean to be old??

Great looking update, it looks like a true evolution of the original model,much better than that god awful F.A.N.G. 2 Hasbro came up with.
Are you going to paint the silver bits yellow?

Brilliant. It looks, like Steve said, like a 25th style version (it's actually better than the 25th Fang).

I've got one of these for trade if anyone is interested? It is missing one of the missiles.

thanks for the comments guys.

the silver parts are going to be a pain in the arse to paint yellow, I'm prettty sure the plastic is that non porous type, and yellow always needs about 10 coats too!
I'll either switch the missiles to natural yellow ones, or stick some yellow bands on them?

that blades is an old one, with some amateurish touched up paintwork...instead of pinking up his face he ended up with 5 o'clock shadow!
