Looks great Jon. I'm working on a Billiken G vs MG diorama with modular bases too. What paints did you use for the MG? I can't find a metallic I like.

Thanks! I actually used Toyota auto paints from the auto parts store after I primed him with black vinyl paint from the same place. I painted a dark metallic gray first and then I highlighted it was two lighter shades. Then I used weathering powders in the crevasses and creases.
