Re: optimus prime transformers
 

i tell you the pictures are awesome of the painted cab but like they say pictures don't do justice.i am thoroughly thrilled with what i saw:jaw:like i said previous i can't wait to finally be done this build after 17 months ...whew!!

Re: optimus prime transformers
 

Well folks picked up the cab and fenders :jaw: i am going to get started on the assembly tonight i will post asap

Re: optimus prime transformers
 

The paint does not have the small pinstripe but when you see you will agree that it is a minor imperfection that doesn't take away from the overall paint. I love it and i can definitely live with it

Re: optimus prime transformers
 

Great news!! Can't wait for the pics.

Re: optimus prime transformers
 

thanks everyone for your patience with this build .i really wanted a true as can be replica of this truck which is why i got a painter friend to do this.there is no way today..tomorrow...next week...or even the next lifetime(if there is one)that could have ever pulled this off and i want to thank everyone involved at helping to bring my idea 17 months ago to a reality.this truck i was thinking to make a special carry case for optimus and zeus to transport them to and from shows ..venues...etc i was thinking wooden crate with handles for the strength and being rigid.does anyone have any suggestions on what to line it with that will not damage the paint in transit..glad everyone likes it .now to finish up the little bits left to do and the trailer ..then the lights..woo hoo.and just to mention before someone else does :eek:no this truck will not be hitting any curbs...ever!!!

Maybe just used some closed cell foam. The sort of stuff you get in cushions or in Pelican cases.
Most foam places will be able to sell you big thick layers that you can cut to shape.
