Very nice. Love the ice effects on it. How did you do that, btw?

thanks :) i did the ones on Overburn, the fire, using tom survo's hot glue fx guide on sector70, which is basically cut out the shape of the fire using see through plastic, like the ones on the toys boxs, and then put the glue gun on it n rub in a circular motion, so from that i thought, if i cut ice shapes and instead rub in lines, do simulate the water going down and freezing, it might work and it did :p looks pretty neat i think :)

I love your creativity!

I've been harboring some lofty ambitions of creating a diorama where WFC Optimus is shown walking across a burning Cybertronian street with burning metal panels and exposed circuitry. Maybe I could try to reproduce of those fire effects using the methods you mentioned.

No idea when or even if I'll get around to do it [pretty busy with work lately], but thanks for the inspiration, Shenron!

Thanks for the link. Bookmarked it and I'll probably be a regular lurker on that site.

One question though, Where do you get all those red and orange plastic rods for the muzzle fire effects?

Got it, thanks.

I haven't played with Lego's since I was five--didn't know they come with colored rods these days. Maybe I could snatch a couple of those from my cousin's kid...nevermind, he'd probably bite my finger off before that happens. :lol:
