Movie-Accurate Ironhide Repaint

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.

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.
