    Here's my progress so far with Beast Hunters Optimus.
    Basically he is a full repaint with a small amount of damage etc. I've done a slight mod to his abdomen to remove those claw things and given him a face plate.
    There are some weapons still to come so will post more once they are done.
    Hope you like!

    Just thought I'd post a couple of pics of the Lego Minifig I did in-between this and the accessories: :eek:

    Cheers guys, really appreciate the kind comments, I wasn't too sure about how this turned out so glad you like it.
    Nightcracker, it was just a very small semi rectangular piece of plastic, yogurt pot works great as you want a slight curve to it. I just trimmed and filed it until I got the shape I wanted, glued it onto his face and painted it. I'm pretty sure I saw a good how to in the section on here which explains it a lot better than me ;)  anyway, hope that helps, and really glad you like it.

    Genuinely love this. The weathered metal effects are excellent, the faceplate works SO well and he looks great without those claw things. I love this mold and plan to repaint it some day. When I do, I'll defnitely be taking pointers from this. Excellent work. :)

    Seriously guys, you'll make me blush!!! :eek: 

    lol!

    I'm really surprised at the reaction to this one as it is the one of the ones I've been least pleased with. To be fair though, I do think it is a great mold (except in alt mode) so I guess it isn't too hard to get it wrong ;) 

    Sorry for the lack of the promised update - I've got sidelined doing a Lego minifig repaint for my friends son :rolleyes2  - I'll get back on this asap

    Thanks again for all the positive feedback though guys, really glad you all like it!
