AoE Evasion Mode Optimus Custom

Postby DatterBoy » Thu May 29, 2014 3:54 am

Love the mold and wanted the paint apps to be more like the box photo but still friendly to handling and transforming. May add a few more paint details but wanted a G1/movie merge look since the truck is very G1 and the bot very movie. Getting there.

Going to keep working on this guy but the more I do, the more I dig him. Has already become my favorite non-masterpiece or non-leader Prime.

Apps (all metallic grey paint):
- Smokestacks (shoulder and folding duo-stacks in semi)
- Chest stripes (side of windows, upper mid section, lower front sides)
- Bot Ab Grill (helps to hide red seams in truck mode)
- Inside face of arm panels under fist
- Lower arm (creates separation of shoulder guards and forearms)
- Fuel canisters on legs (is that what they are?)
- Leg joint circles (movie reference)
- Rivets on truck for side and front
- Thickened window frames
- Wheel hubs and wells

Started with Tamiya Acrylic but ended up removing those apps in favor of Rustoleum Painter's Touch 2X for Plastic since it looked a lot more like a legitimate factory application. The Rustoleum is a very good match with the factory silver used.

To do:
- Upper forearms
- Front Bumper (to account for the red underside showing through)
- Gold highlights (still debating if I want to add a third color)
- Shoulder spikes (also debating this. May only do inside of the outer facing pieces in bot mode as I like the red in truck vs. the silver seen in the Takara version)
- Gun
