Repaint: ROTF Sideswipe (Part 4)

Just finished assembling Sideswipe. Paint-wise is pretty much finish, maybe add a bit of details on the emblems and then another clear coat. The sad news is I screwed up this guy right at the end. Accidentally used wrong length screws for the front glass piece that attaches to the top of the vehicle mode. Resulted in two slight circle bumps on the top of the car...still kicking myself for doing that. And just when I got the red to the finish I want too...*sign*. The good news is that I only display my TF's in robot mode, so that part is hidden. But still, even noone else sees it, I still know I screwed up!

Note to self: Mark down which screws goes where on the next project.

    It look classy! Don't be too hard on yourself. To get where you are is already remarkable.

    Don't mean to kick on your wounds but I very much want to see the red Sideswipe car mode. :) Btw why you want to paint it Red?

    Thanks Leon, I just took a pic of the vehicle mode and will add to this. The funny thing was I found out I put together the blades incorrectly when I tried to transform it to vehicle mode. I wouldn't have known if I kept it in robot mode lol!

    And it was painted in red because the G1 sideswipe was in red too haha. In the vehicle mode pic, you can just make up the two bumps on the top with the lighting.

    That's a great job done Jcee! Red G1 colour! Way to go! Customised TF are selling at good prices on ebay especially Sabrina's work.

    Thanks Dennis! These repaints are for myself, not to sell. Maybe when I have perfected my skills, can't sell anything that's not perfect haha

    And I have seen Sabrina's work, she posts on our Canadian forum too. They are really great! Hope to get to that point one day...!
