hi, thanks for your comments, watch this space as im currently planning something along these lines,

Incredible work!! Couldnt believe that you can build a large scale Optimas by youself!!

hi thanks for the kind words, yep its all my own work, hence the time its taken to build, currently 2 years now, but the hard work is finally paying off, and once the legs are done i will start on a base for prime to stand on....watch this space!

thanks MooCriket, as always mate thanks for your support on prime, and i love that Toy of prime, thats what ive based my prime on, any heres the latest.

progress is moving swiftly now as i have everything to hand, top parts of legs are done, to get the dirty used look, i first sprayed in black, then satin chrome, then another silver a darker shade, finally once dried i used burnt seinna ink, to add a slight dirty look, then i cut a strip of ali into smaller strips to start the smaller vents at the top of the blue area on the legs, added knee joint, sprayed in gold first,then silver, then dirtyed using two shades of ink, finally using ali paint ive weathered the egdes to give prime a used look, heres the pics guys, still plenty to do,as have stuff on order, nearly there!!
all the best

The detail you have going on Optimus Prime is fantastic. Can't wait to see what he looks like standing in a complete paintjob.
