My First Custom! Optimus Prime Trailer

Posted by Optimist_Prime Tue Apr 10, 2007 9:45 am

This is a simple job to most, but to a newbie I like to think I took my time to get it right. It started off as a Prime G2 trailer and now it's bathing in G1 glory. I can't decide whether to have it be true G1 or anime style, some input would be great.

Let's not get too carried away here. I just started doing this, but if you have made such a mod a pic would be extreamly helpful.

Something like that would look pretty cool with a 'tooned trailer.

FM, you did an amazing job painting that trailer. It looks like the plastic was cast in that color to begin with!
