DOTM Sideswipe [Silver Repaint] ... got disgusted of the original shit brown color, so I decided to paint him up silver, like he's supposed to be.
Thanx... the toy is actually pretty nice?... but the colors were rather crap originally. hoping they release a nice repaint, but I have my doubts...
thanx man. I've always liked Sideswipe, and I just thought it was a waste his toy was so poorly colored... amusingly enough, this was the color scheme for him on the Japanese data card...
they sorta have a hinge joint [two hinges, actually], which allow them to be folded down, so I just fold them there, instead of extending them outwards...
i'd say... I was hoping they'd do a chrome/silver version like the premium series they did once upon a time for the original movie?... then I figured there was no point getting my hopes up, so I just did it myself. XD
hell yeah. XD Occasionally feel tempted to do a G1 color Sideswipe and Sunstreaker using this mold... but I wanna make it so they turn into the same car, but have slightly different alt modes... /twitch... gives me a headache, it does...
Nice work man! Looks a lot like mines too!! Except yours has much better paint application.. haha.. Here's mines... http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/454868-dotm-sideswipe.html
whoa, you markered it all the way eh? XD I tried that once, but i didn't like the finish I got... looked more like a weathered/battle damaged Sides... I used sprays for this... Mr Surfacer 1200 B-515 for a base coat, Tamiya Color Mica Silver TS-76 as the silver, then a Mr Super Clear B-513. The gray bits were gundam markered gray with a pilot silver marker for highlights. XD Mebbe your local hobby shop has em too?
nice will try that style of transformation when i get a hold of my shadowblade sideswipe back in the philippines
cool. The Shadowblade Sides... I dunno... I always thought his blades were a bit too short and stumpy for him somehow?... mebbe you can scratch build/scrounge up some stuff to lengthen em and make em look better?
maybe but i'm not that realy keen on customizing my tf's but I'm also not a fan of his backpack, and i didn't know that his blades were soft rubber
