This is the first ROTF custom i've done (unless you count Rampage w/ frenzy_rumble's arm mod method)

When i got Skids and Chromia yesterday, i was happy. But after looking at Skids for a while, i realized i didn't like his colors. He looked exactly like the stock images. First off, he came with the painted hood, but he had unpainted teeth. After i painted the teeth, i realized i didn't really like his overall look, so i got to work.

Repainting his body with dark silver and some small gold touchups (tooth, some areas on his arms, chevy symbols), i give you ROTF Skids: dyingwill3rd version!

Update
Didn't like his unpainted parts, so i went for movie accuracy. I'd like to give thanks to frenzy_rumble, for being one of the people on this site who inspires me and for posting his ROTF Skids which is what i based my Skids on

 

VERY well done! good job making MC Paddington look better! XD

Thanks by the way!!!

 

looking good man, you got some great ideas and intentions here at Radicons, Always good to see that kinda stuff.

 

It's great to hear that from you, frenzy_rumble

 

Added comparison pics to my Custom Sideswipe and here is youtube link: YouTube - Custom ROTF Skids

 

robot mode looks great, any thoughts to finishing all the the vehicle modes missing black trim??

 

Oh yeah! thanks, i'll get right on it!

 

Great work here, dyingwill3rd!

The paint apps are way cleaner and are better finished than your earlier customs.  

Keep up the good work!

 

Thanks! to tell you the truth, i used a toothpick to paint his eyes and smaller details!

 

Hahaha yeah I used to do that too with some of my earlier customs. I think that having to improvise with what is at hand is one of the fun things about kitbashing  

 

This is by far your best paint job to date. Continue to push the envelope of your work  

 

When I was painting Skids, I realized that my brush couldn't fit in his eyes. So i went back in my house (i paint in my garage) and found the toothpicks. So since i painted Skids with a toothpick, i've been using it on other customs.

Thanks! I really like how he turned out

 

Thanks, to MegaHavok, i realized i was missing some paint apps. So here they are

 

Added more touch up pics

 

Very cool! Nice movie accuracy touch-ups to the colors.

 

Thanks!

 

Added what i believe to be his final touch up pics. I removed the headlight guards, and painted the headlights
