I had fun painting these (well, mostly - the edge-lining was a bit of a chore :) ).<br /><br />I did consider trying to do the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle" look for the Teratons, but in the end I couldn't work out how to make this effective and went with the colour scheme you see above.Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-50795736623082100582018-03-20T21:27:40.396+00:002018-03-20T21:27:40.396+00:00Ace looking teams and support.
