Movie Optimus Prime build

[kingbob]

You'd think i'd have learnt this build is best served by patience, but apparently not.
Last night before bed i threw a quick coat of clear over the body to protect it all. Looked this morning and it made some of the blue on the sleeper run! *bangs head on wall*

The flames at the front are fine, they had a full day extra to cure, but the sleeper had only had a day. This is the only really bad bit. I should be able to spray a bit of blue over it to blend it in and hopefully save it.

Just should have left it for a week or so to cure.
(we need a headbutting a wall emoticon!)




The other side is mostly fine. Little bit of the blue collected in seams and against raised detail, but most gets hidden.
I started adding adhesive chrome metal foil to the appropriate details. I decided to use this instead of the folded metal rod i made as i tested it on a scrap piece of plastic and couldnt glue it in without wrecking the paint.

Need to make door handles and the vent for the sleeper doors, hopefully done today/tonight. Then can start bolting on details!
