Good job!

Question, though: does your camera have a "Macro" setting?

I remember talking about this one over at TFW when someone posted a link to the auction.

The red looks fantastic, but the lack of any detail painting kinda turns me off to this one, especially the bland legs. Also I think a little orange paint on the thighs and arms would help it be more recognizable as Rodimus. At least from an homage standpoint.

Hey guys. Sorry I sent some bad and some good pics. I'm not only new to cusomizing, I'm also new to digital cameras and computers. I am trying to get better, so just bare with me please.
As for the lack of orange. I had planned on an exact repaint, but when I finished the base color coat I liked it so much I just left it. I figured it would fit in better with the rest of the Alternators clan if I did not make it an exact. Thanks for the feedback everyone. P.S. What about a Dark Rodimus?

I'd really suggest doing some research on waterslide decals. They really add to the look of the vehicle mode for the Transformers. Printed sticker decals do a nice job of completing the effect - i.e., flames for hot rod, the pheonix emblem on Tracks - but they look THAT much more impressive when they're done as waterslide decals.

I did use waterslide decals. I bought a kit from hobby lobby for model cars. It came with everything I needed including the computer program to size pictures properly. I did not however get any clear paper. Just wait and see what I have cooked up next. I think it will be a big hit.

I don't recall seeing a Mustang...

I saw one, it's where I got the inspiration to use the reprolables Rodimus trailer stickers for the sideflames

I would really like to see a Ford Gt Hot Rod. It is the only fitting car for Him. I would also like to see someone extend the Scion rearend so Rodimus can have his battle station. Now that would be a sweet custom

Very impressive, you replaced a slow truck with a faster van
