Snarl needed an overhaul. He was built off an original Generation 1 figure, but mixed in with a variety of parts, giving him improved articulation. He was super-tricky because his alt/dino mode is a little more complex than some other G1 figures.Snarl's articulation : At his shoulders (via ball joints), elbows (hinge joints), hips (ball joints) knees (hinge joints) and head (peg)Snarl was base coat painted with House of Kolors and detailed with Testors Model Masters (enamel) This version of the Dinobots, I went with a more metallic gold rather than the cartoonish yellow-gold used on the last set.Full gallery can be seen here : http://www.flickr.com/photos/accardi...762442…
