Finally! my Movie Ironhide repaint
Posted: Sat Apr 05, 2008 4:09 amAfter a 3 month hiatus from customizing, I've busted out the brushes and paints once again.
Continuing my line of movie repaints, here is Ironhide!
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.

Thanks for looking! I hope you like it!
