I'd like to share my Ironhide repaint. I first mistakenly posted this in the Kitbash forum. I apologize for that.

Ironhide was first base-coated with flat black and gloss black automotive acrylic epoxy paint. Multiple layers of drybrushing were added using Tamiya Acrylic gunmetal, metallic grey, flat aluminum, and chrome silver. The gold/copper highlights were added by painting Gunze-Sangyo acrylic clear yellow and orange on top of silver.

I would also like to give credit to JinSaotome and Chih. I used their Ironhide repaints as reference material (as well as movie screen caps) for mine.

Here are some close-up shots of the head, arms, and legs. There is a lot of detail on this mold, and it looks all the more impressive when painted. This is my favorite tftm figure to date.

For the rest of the pictures, visit my flickr page at

Thanks for looking! I hope you like it!

Now that should have been Premium Ironhide

Thanks!

I agree, the Premium Ironhide is rather disappointing. Snow on the windows? Autobot symbol on the hood? Makes it look even less movie accurate.
