@charles1matt I'm sorry I don't really hate you, just a figure of envious speech. You know you're right, anyone can do this if they put their minds to it but it does require talent too. You know I'm gonna get some paints, advice and try some patience through a brush but I will be keeping mine as I'm still a big kid at heart:-) Thanks man

[charles1matt]

@Thermoman69691 haha, I know man. I've been guilty off being jealuos of other customizers selling prices, but come to find out most of them were fake bids and prices. I still paint them for myself too, as I'm a big kid at heart also. I've been slowly painting a collection of all the leader class and human alliance figures from all the movies. I painted 2 of these ironhides so far and still do not have my personal Ironhide started :(

Thanks again for watching and commenting!!!

When they announced there would be a Ironhide leader class I couldn't wait!!! I just got him yesterday:-) He's a fantastic figure and packs some bulk he also packs some bad colouring, I mean look at that horrible blue! Well I've toned it down with some black but I wished I had your skill but I hate you people because now after seeing your creation I feel depressed and very jealous, but I still give you a +1

[charles1matt]

@Thermoman69691 Hmm, well at least your honest, lol. It's just a hobby I enjoy and I'm lucky enough to have people that will pay decent money for them. I am very thankful I have both customers and fans/veiwers. Thank you very much for watching and I think anyone that is good with there hands can do this!!! Just takes time and patience.

That is one of the finest piece of work man.

when you spray the figure over with a clear coat, how do i keep the paint smooth when dry? like preventing any bumps in the coating.

[charles1matt]

@fish66661 Most of mine are airbrushed for a smooth finish, but you can wet sand and reclear if you have to. It all goes on the person spraying it, make sure to do light and thin coats as even as possible. That's about the best tip I could give for that. You just have to get the feel for spraying it right.

Thanks for watching,

I'm still going to try and get up a tutorial video soon!

Just saw the auction, its that nice its displayed on ebay UK's page ; )

Nice figure, and the description shows alot of dedication to the figure

[charles1matt]

@DualorProductions Thank you very much, It was one onf my favorites and unfortunately the robot pics did not do him justice. He looks so much better when it's in front of you in person. I honestly thought he looked like he shrunk and jumped out of the movie. Alot had to do with it's a great mold of a figure though too.

Thank you very much for watching and commenting,

Nice man. I love that you actually painted the legs to black instead of that crappy dull light blue.

[pcjordan23]

Damn that's amazing man! Hasbro should hire you. :D

[Kittykookoo780]

That Ironhide is Awesome! I like all the detail you did on him, and the car-mode looks just like a real car! Can't wait to see what you have coming next!

[BIG44studios]

[charles1matt]

@BIG44studios Hey man, well if your talking about the diorama thing, then no it will still be awhile. I will eventually make it though.

[BIG44studios]

@charles1matt no man thats kl just wonted to no if you wear still going ahead with it em if you look on my channle description ull see the progress reports think you should do one

[charles1matt]

@BIG44studios Well, I have to do customs whenever I can get a chance. It's hard for me to keep them coming one after another. I have to much going on in my life and I never know what I'm going to do next. It will be a little while before I do another custom for ebay too.

Thanks for the idea though!!!

[BIG44studios]

@charles1matt no pobs man

[84ironhide]
