Movie Optimus Prime build

I found a few little things todo to the truck still.
1: Add a touch of red paint into the autobot logo on the front grille. Easy to do.
2: Add coiled hoses for trailer attachment (they do appear in reference pics). Easy to do.
3: Add the width indicators to the sides of the front bumper. Problematic, cant work out a secure way to attach them.

Have restarted work on the trailer today too. Drilled out the holes in the upper and lower frame for all the blue LEDs. Also primed those frame parts ready to be painted blue once the primer cures. Its THAT dreaded blue i had so many troubles with, but needs to match the truck so have no choice.

Started soldering leads on the multitude of LEDs for the trailer. I might make up a little relay board with a separate battery for them. The light controller wont have the power to drive them all as is.

And need to raid the electronics store to try and find some miniature connectors to connect the truck to trailer.
