20th Ann. DVD Prime in to MP-01 bash

Postby Optimist_Prime » Wed Dec 26, 2007 12:18 pm

I've wanted to get the longer smoke stacks for My DVD prime, but I didn't want it to look to weird with the silver and mirriored chrome on him. I made my own plus a few other small modifications.

Image
The original 20th Anniversary DVD Optimus Prime to refresh our memories

Image
First I painted over the out-of-place yellow on his head with some Tamaya silver.

I then cut pieces of 5.5 mm styrene, filed the inside edge on one side of both damn near paper thin, and finally spray them with Tamaya silver leaf. After the silver dried I sprayed them with regular clearcoat to dull some of the shine, and it almost perfectly color matched Prime. I then attached them with 2-ton epoxy and let the epoxy cure.

Image
Last but not least, I painted his gun with Krylon Fusion. I used the Tamaya silver again to dry brush sections of his blaster.

Looks great. I've thought of modding my own Prime this way. Those are really the only things that are separating it from a true MP quality figure.

Are the smokestacks really that long?

It's done nicely. I can't even see the seams.

The blaster in black looks really good. ;)^

Thank you :grin: . I tried to match the silver hue as close as possible. I am very pleased with the results.

I thought going a little longer on the stacks might give it more of a cartoon and realistic look. Of course, I'm so used those nubs I just wanted to do away with them.
