Wow! That's pretty neat!

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.

interestin, aside from the Jeep mold I have seen every ALt body as Hot Rod or Rodimus

Stay tuned, SwampMojo's working on one with the jeep mold!

i think that its done.....

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

As for the weapons, I can sort of see that now that you point it out.

I'm still waiting on Alt mirage for Hotrod. Anyone else finished one yet? Any takers on the Scion back half/trailer/battlestation for Rodimus Prime?
