    I absolutely loved Crosshairs in the movie, he was a real trip, and he transforms into a Corvette, which is my all-time favorite car! So he was my first custom I did from the movie, and I was doing so well until I got to the striping on the sides. I was not very successful, so I got a new figure and started on Crosshairs Mk2.

    The first one is now in pieces waiting for me to begin repainting him into a true movie Hotshot, not the official Tracks homage that is coming down the pipeline. Of course, with getting a second one I get to give Crosshairs both of his Tech Nines.

    Anywho, I improved on my original design with the paint with this one while keeping it simple. I am looking to get that Reprolabels set for Crosshairs to do the striping on the sides, but I have to wait on that.

    I drybrushed some silver over the guns to match what I did with the dinobot weapons and Hound's weapons as well.

    Thanks man! The figure is chock full of little things to pick up on with a little paint! I didn't go for complete screen accuracy, I just wanted to give the figure a little more life without looking exactly like everyone else's customs haha.
