Description
Not the first custom that I did (it's actually the second repaint that I've done), but it's the first one that I'm making public.

A work in progress of one of the Transformers customs that I'm working on. I think it's safe to say that I wasn't the only one who hated the Sideways toy when we first saw product shots of it. Some simple repainting did the trick.

Used Citadel Paints to work on this custom. Chaos Black, Mithral Silver, and Blood Red were the only paint that I used. At first, I went with straight Mithral Silver for the robot bits since I wanted him to have a "clean" look, but it just wasn't working out for me so... I did something that I shall dub "Reverse Drybrushing". Instead of drybrushing over black, I drybrushed black over the painted areas. Has a similar effect to me, and it doesn't look too bad for one of my first customs.

Still need to add some more details on the Audi's grill and paint in the thin, silver lines that appear on APR-tuned Audi R8s.
