kinda sad. not what you did, the battle damage looks great. its just that had some real nice paint work to it before he was damaged. either way it looks great tho.

friggin awesome.

Smokescreen looks like he got beaten!!

 

Will he get back to base? Find out next time on Transformers Kitbash!!

 

Great Redo!! It looks sooo cool! :thumb

That's cool, I like the darker, metallic colors too.  Very original man

 

-D

COOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Now it's finished. I added the pin stripes and cracked the glass. (Drivers side) The shine of the clearcoat shows best in sunlight

 

Here's where the pain is shown.

 

The cracked glass is simulated by using a razor knife to spiderweb the plastic. The tires were heated slightly and pushed flat. (Front mildly, back is 0 psi) The rims on this side were also slightly charred for effect.

I used a lighter to create a slight burn effect on the stripes.

 

The forearms have been smoked but I decided to drop the "panel full of gears" idea. I did cut the mouth so it looks like it's open. The oil dripping from it is just black basecoat that I dribbled in there and let it leak off to one side.

 

 

Being that I'm a car guy, I needed to add real car traits. The inside headliner is a neutral graphite colour, as are the inside A, B, and C pilars. A stoopid detail but something to take note of.

 

If you look at the rocker panels in the other pics, they too were done in this shade to simulate the plastic gaurds most imports come with these days. The undercarriage (Chest) uses a gunmetal colour to simulate rubberized coating which is sprayed onto todays cars..

 

 

This rock formation is custom cut to fit a Smokescreen or others of that mold. He fits into special slots that keep it secure. The sand was spread onto this before the clearcoat dried and acted as a glue. The lakeside waterfront is acomplished by building a dam around the outer edges and filling it with leftover clear.

I've always wanted to do a battle-ravaged Alt, but never got around to it. Beat me to the punch it seems. Great job!
