This started of as a Bonecrusher with a broken arm. I messed up a screw when putting it back together, went out & got a replacement, & decided to see if I could salvage the old one a little. I did.
I've cut off & sanded down the flaps on the arms, & the wheels hanging over the sholder as these are not on the movie model. I've also glued the hips together & one day hope to use some sculpting material to make the gap solid. I then repainted him into a base coat of dark yellow. I then drybrushed silver/grey onto most of him, giving him a dirty look. At some points in the photo's it looks like the paints been chipped, but it's not, the silver just doesn't come out great in photos. After this I added some gold to a few places & blacked out the section on his face, adding other small details there. I was a bit messy hear as I'm not used to painting at such a small level. The wheels were an interesting experience, after base-coating the whole body (minus the wheels) I noticed some of the paint had got on the wheels. I could either repaint all the tires & make them look new, moving in the opposite direction of the effect I was going for, or paint them muddy & make him look even more worn. I went for the latter. This choice occurred again with the windows, do I repaint them a bluey colour or leave them dirty & drybrush them silver to look reflective. Again the latter was chosen.
I'm not too sure what else I did, I can't think of anything, but I'm pretty pleased with him. He looks great between all my movie figures on my shelves. Really nice next to the protoforms actually.
I notice looking at these photo's that his right eye is slightly dirty, it appears I got some dark yellow on it during painting. I will put this right at some point, but if you could just ignore it for now.
Anyway, on to the photos. I got a little trigger happy with the camera, sorry Dial-up users.
The first picture is a two parter as I couldn't decide which light looked better:

And here he is on display:

Not bad for my first real custom, eh?
What do you think, comments, criticisms? I'd love it if an experienced 'basher like Sonray or Jin (just off the top of my head) could give some comments. I hope you guys enjoy.
