Prime is on Ebay now, if anyone wants to check him out!!! Prime on Ebay
I say 90% accurate, but give or take....
I know the mold is missing details and has some slightly inaccurate details
but I did the best I could do by studying the movie, and what detail the
mold had...which was a lot to work with. so after a week and a few miscolors
to correct along the way, I give you movie Optimus Prime finished & almost
accurate.... EDIT: 6/22 updated the last 6 pics to show the final flame outlines & other
small details I added. I painted the tail lights, reoutlined the flames, added
detail to the inner pack, painted the metal in the forearms silver & added
a few more brassy copper details to the upper body and arms

wanted chrome, the truck looks so bad ass in the movie, and that would
have set it off so nicely.... but alas I had to use what I had at hand.
I don't like the generic chrome paints and can't afford the realistic stuff.... | |

Its all in the application and technique. Ask around im sure you'll get some good answers. Id help out myself but im crap at explaining things in text form | |

Idk, I'd rather pay to have the super awesome chrome of bombatron on my prime  now I just need to find time to actually disassemble the parts to be chromed.. | |
