optimus prime transformers

[1985 kenworth]

here are the rear fenders finished with the detail work incuding the ridge that follows the lines of the fender

here are the rear doors for the transformers reefer trailer.i wanted the small square angled tile look for the rear doors that you normally see on the trailers so i used evergreen styrene to get that look now i just need to chrome them

not sure whether to use bare metal foil or go for that chroming paint i saw in another section on here.there is a shop close to me that does it apparently its a 3 step process and they can chrome anything from wood to plastic to metal etc
