Desktop Decepticon: A Transformers Maquette

Step 8Completed

Completed
Here is the finished Desktop Decepticon. As the phone was a little dented and scratched before I even started the project, so the "armour" on the Decepticon is a little scarred, so from the outset I decided this would be a battle hardened little veteran, so I've added a little weathering paint to enhance this feel. 

The photo below with the black background shows the model with the light switched on.

You forgot to list one critically important construction component: artistic talent.
Sadly, that's something I can't order online.  Great work, though; I'm jealous.
