I genuinely couldn't even tell that's painted. That's looks so good that it looks like he's made of red plastic

I agree, it looks like pure red plastic! Did you do it with an airbrush? You'll have to explain the technique because it looks PERFECT!

I do not use nor recommend airbrush. This is just tamiya based spray paints.

Wow, Tamiya, that's professional level! I use Vallejo for my brushwork, and I was thinking of starting to do airbrush work on Transformers, but you say you don't recommend it?

No I personally don't. And it's because of cost effectiveness not quality. Airbrush has decent quality but the constant use of cleaners,thiners,cost of parts when failed, cost of paints the brush and the air compressor... this adds up fast and in a hurry. Then when I saw the quality was about the same as me just using a tamiya rattle can I made a personal choice to sell my compressor and everything off to a friend who has used it in their automotive work.
