    Super awesome work! I wonder how long it would takes to paint the whole leader figure like that?

    thx, the whole LD for me should be around 10 days. well, it depends on how much we pay attention onto the looks we want to. Some day i got no good result at all, but sometimes only a few minutes to have a good looks. ^^

    looks like ALOT more work than painting an optimus itself lol. Amazing detailing on your pen though! i didnt even consider gold on the sides of the helmet until you put up the comparison pictures. Truly amazing.

    Incredible work, & a question what did u used for the eyes cause the reflection of the light is so much better in your'se than on the leader head. Cheers!

    thx Rodimeister0088. for me the paint was not the most difficult for this kind of job, but 2 things were, to modify the light module by moving the half piece away of the stable position and the light on eyes that needs to be controled not to spread out of the eye profile. And the paint detail, I'm sure if you look at it everyday like me you'll find it easily. ^^

    Update "The moon base for Optimus pen"

    Hi guys, once I've just done the Optimus pen. I've also made the pen support (which my girlfriend asked me to do 0.o ) It's on process, but I also like to share the processes amoung of you customisers for improve our work each others.

    Actually, I have more steps than what I'll post today. But I'll try to post some photos everyday in order not to much take time, and for anyone who got questions on some steps I may help. :popcorn

    About the Optimus pen....

    Do you have a Megatron figure that can hold it?
    And have him say: "Optimus head on a stick....VICTORY!!!"

    :lol
