Next up is a Classics/Universe Tigertrack (and a classics Diaclone Sunstreaker once the Sideswipe arrives).
I'm basing his altmode colors on this Lamborghini Gallardo:
the primary difference is I won't be using black the rear window/vents
and here's two early WIP pix:
(L) my retouched Sunstreaker and (R) the future Tigertrack
first coats on a few pieces. I'll use masking tape on the hood and roof to make the stripe.

My most recent ebay purchase arrived today (Henkei Sideswipe), so I was able to make some significant progress on a pair of customs:
Red Sunstreaker (based on an idea by Silverbolt)/aka D.I.A. Warrior Lambor
Using the Henkei chrome parts gives him a look that I think would complement the fansproject D.I.A. Commander Armor. I guess I have to decide to part with Lambor or buy a DIA Commander set.
and, inching ever closer to completion, is Tigertrack:
Just some decals to add and he'll be done. Can't tell from the pic, but his eyes are trans-green like his headlights and thigh plates. Working on expanding his bio from the official(see link below) and creating a story for him.

After removing them, I used Krylon X-metals spray paint. They're transluscent (designed to be used with the sparkly base coat). But you can only use certain colors together (i.e. using red over the blue would've looked a little odd and very dark); you might notice the thighplates are a bluish green. For the eyes, I only painted the eyespieces themselves and not the entire part, so the lightpipe still works pretty well.Sideways wrote:How do you repaint the headlights?
@Silverbolt:
for the colorscheme, it started with the name and finding the above pictured Lamborghini. To me, Orange + Black + White = tiger. The green came about as I just didn't want to leave the pieces blue (too close to the original).
Football colors? That wasn't intentional. I know the Netherlands national team colors' are Orange and White (and they sell a lot of green in that country ) and I think Ivory Coast's are Orange and Green. Who were you thinking of?
<edit: whoops, thought you were in UK for some reason. Wrong football >
@Minerva:
Thanks!!!!!
