Rodimus Prime WIP

Lookin' good! It looks from the pics you shaved/cut everything from the front of the legs, except for the wheels? Is that right? Also where is that spoiler from? It looks great on this!

The spoiler is from a big Gundam KO that Big Lots used to sell. Actually, quite a few parts were from the Gundam KO, as you will see in future pics. Been painting the body now. Get more pics when they dry.

Okay gang! Finally got a day to put up these update photos. The trailer's painted (mostly) and will be working on the big robot head this weekend, as well as some minute odds and ends. Also need to do stickers at some point. Enjoy.
BTW, should I give a tutorial on how to put the PMOP legs on MW Prime, for those who might be interested? I assure you, it's not just as simple as a mere leg swap.

Also, which version of trailer hitch should I use? the regular one or the version that connects to Rodimus's back?

Very cool! Recently I was thinking about something similar. How Rodimus could turn into a Truck while still looking similar to his regular robot mode.

This is looking great! The paint looks tight, and it's a departure from usual P.M. Prime trailers. I'm still loving that Roddy is getting some love!

Might I suggest removing the fire tanks from his arms and replacing them with cybertron cloakers exhaust pipes.

Looking nice.

Got a pair. Might figure out something there. Right now, I'm working on the giant head. It broke apart while fixing it up last night. Need to find a face that is big enough for the rest of the head. Any ideas?
