(DIE-CAST)
PROJECT #302
CLASSIFICATION: REPAINT

MEDIA APPEARANCE: "FIVE FACES OF DARKNESS" PART 5; "FOREVER IS A LONG
TIME COMING"
"Molecular structure is the window to
understanding."
Comments: Some of the die-cast repaints
I work on go really smoothly, and the lead time from start to finish is only
a few days. On others, I run into construction problems or paint scheme
difficulty and I shelve the projects for a while until my subconscious mind
eventually solves things for me. In the case of Swerve, I don't know
just what the problem was, but he sat incomplete for several years.
I finally got him finished up just to get him the heck off my
to-do list. (Just for kicks, I added a lot of hand-drawn details to
him, including the vestigal Microman logo on his hood.)
And yes, he is in "Forever is a Long Time
Coming." Look closely. |
