    Looks great awesome work. The paint looks smooth as factory, but more detailed.

    Thanks :)  It's all citadel acrylic paints from Games workshop, except the shoulder pylons; they were coloured with sharpie which I then fixed with hair spray :)

    Thanks folks :)  The trailer is pretty much done (aside from some detailing) Now working on the cab robot, and just ordered some little 1/100 scale people figures for pilots :)

    Sorry for the lack of movement here, but I have been working real hard on this guy. Just a few pics to show how it's going (will post more in a while :) )

    I am doing a lot of re-working on the cab robot ( a classics deluxe Prime) mostly to improve the cab mode, but also removed the spinning gimmick and just adding more detail and giving better proportions.

    The little people are 1/100 scale peeps for model bus stop displays. I ordered a bag of 100 from ebay :)  will eventually paint them up as pilots.

    Bloody hell. Is that a mod for the recent UM, with a cab that turns into the chest of the super mode? Like, how it's SUPPOSED to be? Is this an easy mod? Please tell me it is, because then, we c can use that rubbish classics Prime to pop into the Titan Wars Optimus.

    Well, yes and no. You can just pop the Prime figure into the space, all you have to do is remove the screw on the stock cab of Magnus, and pull off the crotch and leg section of deluxe Prime. Only the upper body fits in, but it looks OK, really. It's not a snug fit without modding, but it kinda works.
    I still have my original CW Magnus and Deluxe Prime if you want some pics to illustrate :) 

    Of course, once the PM Prime is out you'd have to figure out how to attach the head
