So this is another Leader Prime I've completed. I still need to take bot mode pics. Pretty much straight run like the first, however with this version, I redid the flames, using real images of the Prime truck at botcon 2 years ago. Traced them in illustrator and made vinyl stencils.

Here's the Jetfire for the combo: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radic...eader-jetfire-mods-part-1-power-up-prime.html

I went a little darker with the red and blue this time as well. Overall darker shade on the entire figure, to help blend him with Jetfire when combined.

Cool little extra I added was some 24 gauge jewelry wire coiled around a brush to resemble the wires on the back of the cab.

I'm also a lot happier with the chrome results this round.

​

 

This one is damn awesome!
Can´t wait to see him combined with Jetfire!
have to look badass  
Again, amazing work f_r  

 

I may not be the biggest fan of your work, but damn that is nice. So pretty. Can't wait to see them combined.

 

awesome as always! what happens to the "air lines" when he's in bot mode?

 

ZOMG!
The Chrome! is oohh sooo amazing!
and the added wires to the back of the truck makes it look completely amazing!!!
i cannont wait to see his robot mode and Power-Up Prime as well!!
the suspense is just killing meee!!!

 

    the last one for some reason the wheels stuck out like a sore thumb to me. but this one is just perfect in every way kickass job cant wait to see Power-Up Prime

 

He rocks, blah blah blah.....POWER UP PRIME Damnit!!!!

 

I don't know about PUP today (credits to FR for the new acronym) I wanna add some kibble parts to the combined mode from random gundams, so might be ...tomorrow.

 

Dude, those flames are near pefect! Great job f_r, great job. Also, is that BB wheel I see reflecting in primes front bumper ?

 

nice chrome job. cant wait for combined mode. also like the red and blue cables. its little details like that that makes these customs so cool. good work so far

 

I hope you did a good jb with the hands.
Are you working on the collapsing wheels and inside legs plating too?

 

Like everyone else, I'm really digging this guy... However, I too am curious to know what happens with the air lines when in robot mode....

 

seconded^

 

F_R, could you save that Illustrator fire stencil as a PDF and attach it? I'm sure many of us would love it.

 

Yes! Please attach this some how you really need to make some of your resources available to us.

Also great job so far! Still waiting for Power up. 

 

Super nice work!

Are you going to add the chains to the back as well? You can get nice miniature chains from model ship sites.

 

they are for sale for $50.00

I ordered one. I hope it gets here soon

 

THAT
IS
AWESOME! 

just one question:
what did you paint for the battery cover and the part that you can still see on the sides when it is in truck mode? i don't really know how i should paint that for mine, i don't know if i should paint it chrome or the dry brushed silverish that i am planning on doing for the rest of the body

 

Thanks for the upate on the price.

 

Awesome. I love this vehicle mode and you make it look even better. Quick question, what did you use to chrome the parts?
