STL's Henkei Ironhide

[lcz128]

Yup - so here's STL's Henkei Ironhide.
In between stuff today I was working a bit on this Ironhide (was also doing work on Thanatos' Sunstorm, some seasprays and my original Ratchet custom) (:
First, Alt mode:

Not much done here except for me trying out this new silver paint from modelmaster. It's one of those that specifically says you have to use undercoat and gloss coat over - so humdeedum - I did - It's not chrome. It's nice and shiney though :D

So - what's up with the rest of Ironhide?
Well - just before my bloody dremel ran out of power...
First - here's Ironhide - Note that he's not looking at his feet! :D Great, right?

It's just adding a balljoint for the neck - didn't do the 'head fix' - just added the ball joint :)

You have done a fantastic job

This Ironhide looks awesome. I wish I had this skill

Very nice! Lucky STL.

Your Ratchet, which I saw a while ago, looks a lot better than the very disappointing Henkei Ratchet.

Thanks for the kind words gents :)

Updated with better pix now (:

Those ball joints look like they might be quite handy.
