Weather was good enough to hit the chest piece with a primer to gauge surface doneness (or whatever the actual modelmaking term is), and apart from a few gouges to smooth out I am pretty happy with where I'm at. I'll need to source some proper shades of paints for Transmutate and then clean up the rest of the BH Arcee, but so far it's been a good enough chunk of progress where I feel confident that I can go through with the rest of the project.
Also decided to take a gamble on a Beast Machines Dinotron (repaint of the BWN pachy retool of Dinobot) from Amazon. I originally saw one at Jungle in Little Tokyo before the pandemic happened and I regretted not getting it then, but hopefully this will make good on that missed opportunity. As a side note, I do think Hardhead has extremely attractive colors, but the whole situation of having seen Dinotron in person is what's drove me to seek that version.
