thanks shaka-zula,
cheers Ghost Host,
well its been a while, what with the summer hols and kids etc, the crystal part, was the part i wanted to get right, the first thing was to find a ball shape that was not only the right size,but could be taken to pieces and light to, after a good search, i stumbled upon a toy vending machine, (you know the sort were you stick your dosh in and pull the handle.) well after a few goes,as some of the balls were cracked, plus the queue of kids was starting to form behind me,LOL!! i got one, i ordered some blue(aqua) gems and started to stick them on with epoxy, nearly a 1000 gems later, i was done, had to have a pit stop, doughnut and a cuppa, then to do the lights, i found a headband that had flashing leds in on a switch,changed the flashing leds over to a bright white, cut to fit inside the ball and i as done, PHEWWW!!!!
a quick mock up with the matrix, lights on,and off, heres the pics
enjoy
all the best

I just realized i never spent time in this part of the forum... Its like a new world opened up. FANTASTIC WORK! This looks very good. The details are high, i am very impressed.
We were for Transformers2 aproached by UIP to make a lifesize Optimus Prime, sadly funding from GM did not come trough due to finacial crack and short time frame. I loved optimus prime from childhood. You done him great justice in your dedication!
Bravo!!

thank you very much for your kind words,had a look at your work and its amazing, so its nice to see my prime has caught your eye, im a bit of a perfectionist, hence the 3years plus making him, but its been worth every minute.
thanks mate, yeah im a bit of a perfectionist, i just wanted to do optimus proud,and make the ulimate homage to the autobot leader.
