That looks good. Say, if you have any plans to make Megatron I have an idea for the cannon. There is a bed called the Athens, that have posts that are tall, thick, and round with a sizable square base. Go to the nearest bedroom furniture store and take a look. Here is an example:

This is just so you know what to look for, it looks better in person. The posts are in a separate box so there is a chance you can buy them separately from the rest of the bed. A bit of advice about it if you choose to use this idea, the posts between sizes are exactly the same save for slot placement (queen is easier with one slot to cover) and the headboard posts have a slot for the rest of the Headboard that would be a good place for the arm connector of the cannon. I short a queen headboard post is your best bet.

That is truly amazing! I simply don't have the patience or the ability to do something fantastic like that, and the level of detail is mind blowing!

I am awestruck!

Right guys, prime is finished, once base was complete, it was a small matter of the odds and sods i needed to do to finish prime, pelvis was first, i felt it was a bit flat, so i added more chrome trim to add depth to it, the eagle eyed amoung you will notice this, and its hard to believe that theres over 6 metres of trim added to the pelvis, also added a bit more detail to the legs to bring them up to the same standard as his arms and cab, dirt was added to the wheel arches and tyres, and the vents on primes legs all had dust added, fine line chrome trim was used to make the small vents, all in all im very happy.
I also want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for the support and comments, and wish you all a happy xmas, i know its early, but its nearly here, lol, anyway, video 4 is in the works, so watch this space!!!!!
all the best
