First off, thanks to all of you for inspiring me to get into kitbashing and customizing.

Here are my first two KB/custom posts:

Ironhide was my first attempt at customizing a TF and I was very happy with the outcome. Next up was Ratchet, who was a bit more extensive. Let me know what you think.

I'm loving that Ratchet. Ironhide's eyes seem a bit big, but that's some damn fine work.

cool ratchet but i think ironhide should have been customed from alt prime but very nice work on ratchet

Ironhide would look better if you added the gold stripe down the side of the car like he had in G1. I see so many people do ironhide repaints but they always forget that huge detail for some bizzare reason.

Nice work. Ratchet and Ironhide should always share a mold. Very G1 inspired.

Reprolabels. It was included in a sheet of 'Bot and 'Con logos. If you go to their home page (http://www.reprolabels.com), it's listed at the bottom of the page.

I'll probably add some silver stripes on the side of Ironhide, just to break-up the monotony of all the red.

Thanks to everyone for the positive feedback!!!

why silver? Why not g1 accurate gold?

Love the Ratchet Bash. Can't see Ironhide as a Scion but a well done job on him too.

Love the Ratchet, the added blue Ambulance stickers are a nice touch!

by **VonSchlitzy** » Sun Oct 07, 2007 4:00 pm

they both look great!! i really want a Ratchet like that now!!

Not much room for a patient in the back of that ambulance!

AMAZING job on ratchet. I'd sure like to have one.

As for Ironhide. Great work as well, but he's my favorite character ... and I can't dig the scion for him. Sure is better than nothing though!
