    Thanks all for the comments and good feedback, it is appreciated. I’m never done with a custom unless I sell it so I’m sure I’ll tinker with this a bit.

    I was thinking Wreck-Gar for Snowman because the trailer art is so important. I need a big rectangular area. Prime’s is pretty small. Any other ideas? For Buford I was just planning to use Jazz, but that’s not right either.

    Good call. Hopefully I have something that looks decent.

    Thanks I will. It is a piece of plastic so it looks a bit more 3D in person. His face is so small even texture may not show in photos.

    Good call! And need to paint the rear window, which I always forget on the mold. I’m sure I’ll take another pass at this. Also want to add the Pontiac badge on the front.

    This is amazing! I love both of your Bandit Lockdown customs. I was curious to see the Activator Bandit colors on the deluxe and I love Smokey and the Bandit so it’s fun to see that look applied. Well done!

    You could find a trailer that fits into primes hitch area. Maybe you can also do ultra Magnus. You could do ratchet for Buford due to him being an old grumpy asshole.

    If you can find a trailer that fits Prime you could easily make snowman properly. Maybe that trailer for the cw motormaster and prime will fit with some modded wheels.

    The latter one of course can't store cars but hey...I don't think that Lockdown would fit in the other one anyway.

    Any chance you'll do a "Bandit" version of Tailgate? He could easily fit inside one of Prime/Snowman's trailers.

    Hey thanks everyone.

    Since this got an unexpected bump, one thing I didn’t mention, is the windshield/roof is cast in translucent resin. The idea was to get an amber/tint look, but still look like glass. I painted the interior side to keep from seeing Lockdown’s face.

    Those of you who mold/cast parts know how tricky making this type of shape can be. Anyway! Take care!

    Somehow I missed this the first time around, but I'm glad it got bumped - brilliant work!
