    Hello...
    This one is currently on ebay.
    I've been working on this project for a few weeks, between commissions, and I'm happy with the outcome.
    I used MP Red Alert because I thought the wheels attached to the shoulders in robot mode worked better.
    Loads and loads of colours used.
    I love using different tones, and numerous shades instead of a block colour.
    It took ages to prime this mold, perhaps 3 evenings on and off.
    Numerous greens, including a light and dark shade plus a zinc green, some blues mixed topped off with 2 different light metallics.
    The end has got a real metallic look to it.
    Maybe not the greatest photos, but it's a metal chrome black for the black areas.
    After I finished, I transformed a few times carefully and wasn't surprised to find a few rub spots. These were filed down with an electric file, and re-painted.
    Medium gloss to totally end.
    All paints used were from my favourite range - Vallejo.

    Robot mode is nice but the vehicle alternating panel colors drive me nuts. Nice application of paint though. It looks smooth.

    ^This. But it does look clean and fits well in the group shot. Nice work!

    Awesome! Great job! I love the colors on this, those shades work really well together, and I really love the alt mode's color layout. That is group shot is fantastic! Nice work!

    At some point, I want to make a few SG customs of my own. Sideswipe being one of them. I really like the colors on this one.

    Thanks mate :) 
    I couldn't decide on a set colour, so basically mixed various colours and went for a mixture of tones.
    I think it was a zinc green, dark metallic green and a very light green. A few shades of blue including a wash, finished with a few thin layers of steel and chrome.
    I do enjoy different shades :)
