Revoltech G1 Sideswipe

This guy has been in the work for ages but had to wait for paint supplys mainly primer.
He started life as Revoltech Hot Rod with the Lamborghini Countach parts from a AFX Slot car and the head is a G1 item and his shoulder cannon is Starscreams null ray.
Very happy with him still might make his gun but im not sure, and now back to work on Jazz, Tracks and Seaspray :D

Its a little dark outside now so might try and get some better pic leter

Very nice. If I saw that on the shelf, I'd buy it. Looks very close to what he should.

Interested to see how the other 3 turn out that you are working on.

Hey, that's my line :p

Sideswipe was my first ever Transformer so I have a definite soft-spot for the character. You have done him justice rampagesss :)

I'm looking forward to seeing Tracks and how that turns out.

Man Rampagesss, you're a Custom Figures Machine!

Taking what you have and combining it to form that... remarkable!, another awesome piece dude, well done. :D

Thanks, to be fair the last few customs were just re-paints i like doing these better as there is much more work invoved, and the end result is so worth the work

Thanks, i felt the same way, it was a great line to have cartoon looking figures that were very poseable, so when they stopped i decided to keep the line going my self :D

Also, hellllo G1&2 Brakedown!

Thanks, you should give it a try, when i first started i thought stuff like this would be way over my head. But when you work out how people do things there not as hard they only take time

Very nice. Quite impressive.

In the diecast model world, I know someone in Brisbane who has been doing custom V8 Supercars for me.
