    Woo!! As you says, man, it is REALLY a different style of the LOP. Mate, I clearly sense that you have build up your own featured style, especially on metal effect.

    One of the BEST custom I have ever seen and really look forward to the final complete OP.

    My friend, this one is entirely different then yours. The one I am making you is so much more movie accurate then this one and being of the cleaner paint style it will far outshine this one, literally. Thanks!!

    Thanks Jbarb, I like the worn look a lot, and I am making this one for myself :thumbs2: 

    It's not really movie accurate, it's more of a glorified toy scheme than anything.

    I am still not sure myself where it'll end up when it's all finished. I am still debating on minimal wear and HEAVY wear!!

    I think you should go with heavy wear, much like the Ultra Magnus you did not to long ago. It would fit perfectly with that one if you still have it!

    Ah, yes, I think it would too. That Magnus I did was sold my friend. With this one, I won't go so heavy as to add physical damage(s), I'll just 'paint' wear here and there on either a minimal level or a heavy level. What do you think in that case?

    Thanks!

    Thank you ThyVipera! I am liking it myself man, and it's quite fun to paint. I am using both acrylics and enamels on this Prime. It won't be exactly movie accurate but that wasn't quite my intentions. I wanted something to go with my personal collection of 'worn styled' customs!

    Late, yes but I posted a link to a video review of him with some minor changes I made just prior to shipping him over to the commissioner.

    Love the finished product! Wish you could've taken a nice gallery of pics. The video doesn't really let you appreciate the paint finish much. :)

    The damage was the most tedious part because I didn't want it to be just random sporadic areas, but instead more strategically placed. It was actually easier painting than this Prime. Thanks man!
