Yep! I got these paintbrushes from Amazon a while ago, and they have these thin plastic covers that are the perfect diameter to fit on the existing smokestacks. So, I cut one in half and painted them silver, and they work great!

Ok I done what you did. Looking at my photo now I think I made them a bit too long but I can always cut them down a bit later. Thanks again for the idea. The truck just looked so wrong with stumpy stacks.

Is it ok that simply just the new ab piece is what just made me order DotM Optimus just now off a UK ebay seller? I got a lil too excited even though I supposed to be saving monies. Oh well, I should have it in a few days. For now I better go Ziffit some books/dvds and ebay some stuff to recoup the cost.

Looks great, glad it worked for you!

Also, I’m sure it’ll be gone pretty quickly but Long Haul is currently in stock on Amazon.

I had a look out of curiosity and yeah it's sold out.

Yeah I'm sorta half thinking I shouldn't have spend that much money (it's not a crazy price. About £52 including delivery for a Leader class set is very fair) for a figure I mostly already have. And it's the third time I'll have bought some version of that mold in just over a year or so. But yeah I wanna have a go at it. It's my birthday treat to myself (12th is my 40th... which feels all wrong cos I'm technically achieved much less than most 18 year olds due to my condition) cos nobody actually buys me presents anymore.

I'll put the tall smokestacks on for some of the truck mode pics to show what a difference it'll make to the overall look probably before any painting attempts. I'd like to paint the trailer silver but that's gonna be difficult for me to do well (since for a smooth job it'll probably require spraying and I can't do that here). I definitely want to paint the missing blue strips at top and bottom of the trailer though.

I should be ok. But damn it's difficult even collecting a reasonable affordable line like Studio Series when not had a proper job in over 7 years due to health condition stuffs. I sell what I can and make a lil bit extra here and there but I'm mostly just on employment & support allowance. So I shouldn't reeeeally be buying 50 quid figures. My birthday itself is costing me over £200 in flying up to Edinburgh for one night (hotel is £80 by itself) to go support my friends in the drama group I'm in for their two productions they're doing all week up there. I couldn't afford to join them on stage for those ones. I just doing the home show stuff here in town.

But yeah no chance of Masterpiece Movie figures for me.

Hey happy early birthday Carnivius! Hang in there man remember, one step at a time, one day at a time. Aim for two to three things to get done in a day and if you don’t get those things done, it’ll be ok. My wife taught me that it totally helped me through my own tough times. You do deserve a treat here and there, it’s what makes it all worth it. Especially a Transformer on a birthday

Till all are one pal, hope the support stuff goes well!

Thank you. Damn i wish i had a wife. Haven't even had a girlfriend during my entire 30's. A few false starts and that's all. Bit weird. But yeah I do my daily routines and try to push myself and there are some things I can do fine and others are like super difficult yet most folk do them without even a second thought. I'd like a new brain but I stuck with this gooey melted one. Never mind. I feel bit less bad about ordering DotM Prime today though. Not sure why. But I am looking forward to painting it up a bit and having both Jetwing and Jetpower Optimus at same time. Plus good ol' SS05 Optimus who has no jetpack but he's still a lovely dude in his own way. I'm in a very tired state today and that's ok.

Hope everyone's been having a nice week and enjoying Transformery toy things.
