Transformers Fall of Cybertron PRIME

Oh yes the 6V batteries are definitely big and cumbersome but my build has a lot more room for stuff like that. Later down the track I may look into something lighter. THere are things like sealed acid batteries or something along those lines (again, those more knowledgeable than I will know better) and are rechargeable I think. Certainly lasts longer than a series of AAs or a tiny 12v battery.

The LEDs on the tyres are diffused by a strip of foam gap filler rod ( Gap Filler Rod Moroday 10mm 5m White Mgf2 1-81219 I/N 4061881 | Bunnings Warehouse ) inside of a clear tubing, which has been sprayed red using the type of stuff you use on the tail lights of cars. Part of the tubing has been sliced off on the hidden side in order to give a clear light to the foam. The other lit up parts of him will have plastic plates and a clear type of flexible kitchen chopping mat I found to diffuse.

Are there any other ways of defusing the LEDs or dose it have to be with the gap filler rods?

I will be putting lights in mine within the next few months so i will be posting here again and i will try and go into as much detail as possible with what i find i'm sure it doesnt need to be gap filler there is bound to be an infinite ammount of things you could use to diffuse the light.

so this is just a little update before i really start cracking on this these next few days to get it ready for calgary comic and entertainment expo i cut out the autobot symbols from the shoulders. The fact that these were missing was one of the things i hated most about this costume.



also started to weather the suit as yoou can see on the chest

so the costume is almost finished for halloween.

got the helmet finished and did the first suit up in over a year we need to find a way to keep the shins from rotating so easily and to life the chest piece up a little other than that it is looking good.



then just finished the helmet using latex caulking to fill in the seams.



now i am just workling on putting in the lights and re strapping to fix the issues i mentioned earlier then it should be ready to go for halloween.



until next time thanks for reading
