Wildrider from Drift

This is my third custom painted Transformer. The paint got a little sloppy in places, but I think it's passable. What do you think? I used a little white to break up some of the gray.

Awesome job. Makes me think hard about picking up a second drift.

I love the graphite grey! I don't care for the use of red though. I think it looks a little odd being where it is. How about a little red on the lower body? Maybe break up the arms with some black as it's rather startling like that. I think it has great potential but needs a little more thought on the colour distribution. I hope you don't mind the criticism.

Thanks for the criticism. This is what I was using to base the color scheme on:

Works for me. This looks great. Wouldn't of thought of it myself. I have a classics Sunstreaker I planned to modify a little to look a little more like a ferarri for my custom. This looks so cool, that it almost changed my mind.

Thanks again!

I was really hoping to get it done before someone else thought of it :P

I do want to go back and re-do the arms. The paint just isn't working for me. I tried to find some red Krylon Fusion that bonds to plastic, but I was not able to find any.

Great job! Keep going and eventually you may even do a custom Menasour.
