I instantly fell in love with the Transformers Prime show the moment I watched the first episode and have attempted to buy all the Prime figures I can. At first I was just buying the figures that appeared on the show but as soon as I saw the Kup prime figure I just knew I had to have it. I really wanted Ironhide but having seen his online price for the Japan version I didnt think I could afford him. So I bought the Kup figure and decided he was going to be first full repainted figure. Before I have bought Transformers and did some minor touch ups with paint but nothing as big. Also I would just like to say I love all the repaints and custom jobs I have seen on this site and hope with more practice I can get mine to look a little like y'alls. For the paint for my figure I used Silver, Gold, Black and the Red paint markers. I first colored most of the figure with a silver layer, then a black layer once that was dry. Then after the black layer was dry I added red to the place's I thought it would fit best. After all the paint was dry I then tried scraping away a few of the layers away so the silver shined through to give it that battle worn look. I was trying to go for a homage of not only his G1 self but his movie self as well. Please feel free to tell me what I need to improve on so I can make him better, hope y'all like. Edited to include vehicle mode, I will say that my paint job on vehicle mode was pretty bad. Hopefully one day if I get better I would like to but this figure again and redo it.
NICE WORK. Love the cannons. Show off vehicle mode now! Btw, mind giving out a link as to where to get those paint markers you used?
Oh I knew I forgot something! Ok when I get home I will take vehicle mode pics. Also the paint markers that I like to use are these the only downside are that they take forever to dry.
Thank ya, I am thinking about buying this figure again and leaving him as Kup but getting a different head for him that looks more like Kup. Also if ya still want to try and paint him I would love to see more variations of Prime Ironhide on here haha.
Well shoot, that was convenient. Time to start up on Overload! EDIT: One more question: if you have the regular Prime Kup, take a pic of him alongside Ironhide.
