    Ive lived in places were paint was hard to come by. I ordered a set of gameswork shop paints off ebay but for the most part ive just used wallmarts cheap paints. there initially terrible but ad some future finish to them makes them work so much better and the great part they dont start off to terribly glossy so with the future you make them as glossy as you like.

    Some more paint and shoulder pads. I have to remove the pads to transform him so he's a little parts-formerish, but no more so than Tracks or Wheeljack.

    Also a little boo-boo with the paint on his windshield and hip, will be redoing those

    Nice! With the cab back, it gives off a PM Optimus feel.

    EDIT: Lightened up the blue paint, added more red to the shoulder panels, painted his hips and shins grey.

    I love this design for Optimus and I think you did a good job trying to make it come to life.
