Re: pics of my other (lol) project Optimus Prime


soon my friend very soon,just want to get his energon axe done too, heres the latest, now i really researched this as i wanted to get this part right, so after a bit of research, i found some live glow perspex, it glows in daylight, using the compound its made from, so i cut my basic axe shape,bigger one side, this had to be made from 2 pieces, then glued together, then i wanted to give this axe some energon pulsing through this,so i used my pyography tool(woodburning) and using heat i engraved some lightning through the middle and edges, i then flatted the perspex with some 400 grit sand paper to bring the efect out and to give the axe another shade, I then used a orange tint tube,which come from some blowing bubbles, i cut a slit into this,and epoxyed the axe in place, now ive got to build the ball part of the axe, heres the latest pics
all the best

Re: pics of my other (lol) project Optimus Prime


hi
axe is now finished, the first thing i had to do was build the lower half so that it would screw into the hands slots on prime, the so i bought another bubble blower and used this handle as it was nice and sturdy, i cut the old handle down so i kept the screw in part, i drilled a hole through the handle and epoxyed the bolt in,followed by the top part of on the handle i kept, to get the ball shape i used 2 fake security cameras from my local poundland, these were cut to shape and epoxyed on , then i wanted to get a ball of fire look, as if energon was flowing through this axe, so i engraved loads of grooves over the ball, i then added a coat of yellow glass paint,, for the spikes, the lids of superglue were used, ive been saving these for a while, they were epoxyed on,and finally i then dusted a bit of black on,followed by 3 shades of orange, i then gently dusted the black up the stalk of the axe,heres the pics
all the best

Re: pics of my other (lol) project Optimus Prime


heres the first pics of what will be a special build, i made the the basic shape,this piece is in two pieces as ive got something special lined up for this, each half was made from 3 pieces of wood, i then started covering with styrene, lots of trimming and cutting, sanded down, just got to do the other side now, and use some car filler in the small gaps etc, heres the pics.
all the best

Re: pics of my other (lol) project Optimus Prime


ahhh well spotted brad,
heres the latest guys, first i set about inserting some hidden magnets into the two halfs, they dont have to be super powerful, but enough to hold them together and for me to pull them apart, onced hidden i covered with filler and sanded,i also inserted to guides,in one half,and drilled two holes in the other side, detail was added using card and styrene, the ball part of the matrix, start out as............... a hamster ball, this had to be cut in half and the hole where the lid goes was the perfect shape for the hole part of the matrix, the two half were cut to fit into the arms of the matrix and epoxyed in, then i covered in car filler to strengthen and lose the holes, as you can see, its starting to take shape, it bought a tear to the ole eye to see this at this stage, heres the pics
all the best
