Thanks, guys. I've started work on the painting now. I'm doing it in small stages, but what I've done so far is looking pretty good if I can say so myself.
Jim, Tramp's right about the arms. I was already taking foreshortening into account, but the forearms are
much wider at the elbows than the wrists. As Destructor said, the fig is a mod from Energon Prowl (basically with a resculpted head and partial repaint).

I assume you mean when am I making the toy? In which case, I already have. There's a pic of him
here (second image down, with Ironhide and Wheeljack). Although I've now also repainted his chest; I thought it would look better, and more Mirage-ish, to have it white rather than grey, so I did that.
