Re: pics of my other (lol) project Optimus Prime
hi fellow builders,
well got on with the nitty gritty jobs on prime,windows have now been fitted permanent,also wanted the dirty glass look,to obtain this i used pva glue,black and white ground pepper,and a spare wiper blade, dipped in glue,follow the contour of the wipers,sprinkled and blown of, then a little bit dabbed in the corners, also fitted the shoulder joints, now the arms can just slide on and of, trim round windows fitted,just light to finish,heres some pics,
all the best

Re: pics of my other (lol) project Optimus Prime
hi guys,
latest update of my prime,and last one this side of xmas, here go's:
first finished the lights, fed the lights therough the body and placed where needed, then cut the lights id made,so they;d drop over the washers where the lights come through, mixed up so epoxy and stuck in place,holding with tape till tomorrow, then i set about my next part of prime, now this bit scared me silly,it was a DO I OR DONT I!! moment, i took the bottom of primes head of and took out his eyes, and drilled and dremmeled eye holes,then i cut 2 eye shape pieces out of blue plastic, then i fitted a sound activated led light in primes head, put it all back together, and heres the results,also fitted plastic to the arrow parts on primes arms, im really pleased, the pictures with just his eyes and lights on gave me goosebumps!!
HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL,
SEE YOU AFTER XMAS GUYS

Re: pics of my other (lol) project Optimus Prime
Colin, I've been lurking in this thread since you started it.
I just wanted you to know that I am really enjoying this build! It is just so fun to see this come to life. You are doing an extraordinary job.
Extremely cool stuff! Keep up the awesome work, cant wait to see those legs done.
