I just want you to know that this my VERY FIRST CUSTOM and I plan to do more in the future. This is a WIP.

This is my ROTF Leader Prime and I want to make him as movie acurate as I can!! Right now all I have done is the truck mode; I am starting on the bot mode and should have the bot pics soon.

I hope you like it, because I shure do!!!

If you have any suggestions for my custom or for me in general, I would appreciate it greatly!!!

 

Mine is still boxed at the moment, so I'm not completely sure what you've done. Don't mean to sound cruel, it's just that I have noting to base it on since I haven't openned mine. I'm guessing you've painted the grey parts to silver? If that's the case it looks like you've done a great job considering there don't be to seem any mess ups.

 

hey how did u fix the smokestacks

 

I did the silver like it is on the real prop and I did all of the running lights in metalic blue. It's hard to see all of the touchup I did to the truck mode when its in robot mode, so I see what ur saying.

I acctually messed up on those; I used oil based paint (you should never do this on rubber pieces!!) and now it is a sticky as heck!!! I'm trying to rub it off now and I am going to just use a silver Sharpie.

 

What's a WIP?

 

alchohol will get it off and get the rubber better.

also, WIP : work in progress

 

Thanks.

 

Alchohol? Ok, I'll go try that, Thanks!

 

This looks pretty good so far, I am in the process of doing much the same thing to mine. The only thing I would suggest is that there is a chrome strip around the doors, both the front doors and the doors on the sleeper section.

 

Speaking of alcohol, last night... Anywho, nice job w/ the silver. Makes an already amazing toy look even better.

 

Oh, your right about the strip around the doors, but I guess I missed it. I'l have to do that now. Thanks!!
