I will otherwise ive wasted a perfectly good voyager ironhide, a toy i personally want for myself yet alone make one to repaint and sell on!

Because of a real life car project i have going on, as well as a commissioned re-paint, progress on this will be slow. By that time someone else would have done one by copying mine anyway so you wont care by then.

We care.

You wait till you see this car im working on. Ive turned him into an autobot with the same paint scheme as a certain motormouth G1 autobot.

What car model?

Nothing like his G1 counterpart but he is painted the same way. You wont recognize the car model if i told you because UK cars differ widely from US cars. I'll show you once its finished. I only painted the car the same color just because i liked the paint scheme, i dont care about the character lol.

lol, dude it aint your character!

If you all need to know ive painted the car up like Bluestreak, but with added holographic metal flakes. In the sun the car looks AMAZING. Its like looking at the stars but they are all painted the colors of the rainbow.

I still have to fit the muffler, and the rear bumper and spoiler but then it'll be done.

So hopefully i'll have the car on the road and legal by monday or tuesday, since my old car has had it and im currently borrowing my parents' V6 Mondeo. (its automatic, dark red and really not my style

)

I have some WIP pictures but id rather wait to show it off when shes finished and looking as good as she possibly can.

Or should i be calling "she" a "he" because of the Bluestreak-style paint job and all? lol

My dad has some on his phone, but we cant figure out how to get the buggers off the phone and onto the computer. :-x

And i totally forgot to take any pics of the car before we started work on it so thats that idea out the window.

I can show you a stock photo of how the car used to look when it was new though. Would that do?

Yeah, given the circumstances, that will do.

Mine is slightly different as it has a spoiler. But this is basically the same car. It looks alot better and sportier now i have painted it. I gotta get some better rims though as the stock alloys dont really look all that great do they?

by **Auto Bot** » Fri Sep 14, 2007 10:26 am

You put spoiler on a family car?

The stock mags looks ok to me.

The spoiler is a stock one. Heres what they look like with a spoiler, and sported up:

This one has a stock bodykit, as its a sportier version but its the exact same car except this one has a bit more power than mine but they look the same except for the bodykit.

I like those rims, they are much better than the ones in the stock photo i showed ya which are the ones mine has unfortunateley. Still one thing at a time since rims are expensive.

Yes it does

And I'm going to be completely honest

I still really don't like red on this mold.

and with this paint job it makes it look like he's melting

by **Sonray** » Fri Sep 14, 2007 1:35 pm

Thats why its called gloss. You ever see a car paint job that didnt shine? (unless it was intentionally painted that way, or has dulled over time?)

Metal shines, and since the character is supposed to be a robot and a car he will shine also.

People who dont understand this simple theory really annoy me. Its like they make it out to seem like having a shiny transformer is a sin against god or something.

I can swear that car is a ford. Looks like a flashier
Taurus.

It is a ford, its called a Ford Sierra Sapphire. You guys never got them over there, and they are much better than the taurus.

I love Sierras, especially the super-fast RS Cosworth versions. Mine isnt quite as fast as those ones yet, but it isnt far off, but they look almost identical.

I remember the Escort Cosworths. Some of the best rally cars ever.

Indeed, the Sierra used to be used for rallying too.

by **Auto Bot** » Sat Sep 15, 2007 2:44 am

I see the car now. With the spoiler.

Looks good. But not an aggressive design. More of all around family car.

It will be something if you can turn this into a speed monster look.

I know what gloss is, I am not stupid.

I am saying that the paint job makes it look like he is melting.

You go around to every other kitbash thread and bash people's paint jobs and claim your a master painter, but the second someone says something negative about your work you get in a tizzy.

Learn to take criticism as much as you give it :wink:

Yeah cos everyone else can go around with an ego but as soon as i mes about with one im told to "take criticism".

Keep it to yourself next time.

And i dont claim to be anything, i know what i can do.
