Here is My custom ironhide reborn I think he would return but he would be an evil zombie version of hide.What I did to Ironhide I burned through most of his chest leaving a cosmic rust eating his chest effect.Next i crossed of the autobot symbol and burned hides right side of his face this effect is all cosmic rust eating through part of his face. This is the leader version Luckly I have two leader ironhides one in box and my custom.
Dude, not to rain on your parade, but that is really, really bad work. You just destroyed the figure by melting few parts.
Actually, that's not a bad idea. Some paint apps on the damage however might give it an overall better effect. Don't get discouraged.
did you just torch a leader class?....hmmm..... you must be rich..since youve got many ( 2 you say)...hmm.... try to add more to the detail... like making a full diorama, or probably a full recolor. IMO, it just needs some more detailing
Dust some iron fillings on the top of some wet paint and leave to dry. mix some salt with water 2 parts salt to 10 parts water and spray a small amount other the fillings. hair dry and repeat 4 or 5 times. spray one last time and leave over night you should end up with that rusted melted look. it looks good so far hope this works out.
Actually, if you're looking for the rust look to go with the zombie feel, you can go with Rustoleum rustic brown. I used that in a custom using a first-year voyager Ironhide: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/453699-dotm-ironhide-after-picture.html I think yours needs a bit of work, but the melting away of parts is a start. Once you get enough of that effect, you can spray the rustoleum paint on top however much you want. Use sparingly though, it really covers a lot. But that depends on what else you want to do with yours.
