Movie Optimus Prime build

FINALLY!!!!!!!

So freakin happy the body is finally painted! And its mostly to my satisfaction!

I printed out pics of the real truck, and traced the flames onto tape, so the design should be as close as i can get in this scale.
I would have liked the red/orange fade on the hood to be smoother, not so rapid, and the finish in a few places isnt as smooth as i'd like. BUT, it is finally done! Now i see it painted like this i realise there really was no way to do the tiny pin stripe around the flames. In scale its just not practical.

Still needs a clear gloss one the blue is cured, but as near as i can tell, paint is complete! A huge milestone as far as i'm concerned!

I'll get a few better pics once the sun comes out of hiding, and the body is a bit drier and safer to handle. So just a quick snap for now in bad light!

Thoughts?
