Re: optimus prime transformers
Nicely done! Im guessing you ended up using chrome wrap over the styrene, works well!

Re: optimus prime transformers
yes i sure did .the companies were giving me too much of a hard time to order the diamond embossed metal and ship to canada..its stupid,unless you are a company they will not ship outside of the usa.so i thought to try this.the stuff is real thin chrome adhesive backing i got from a craft store and i used a very dull thin plastic spatula to tuck it in the grooves separately individually one by one ..whew...abit of work to do and slowly as to not put any creases where they should not be.once thin tinfoil like chrome wrap gets creased ...its there for life

Re: optimus prime transformers
Nice! Looks about the right scale too. I've been thinking about a Traxxas 1/16 rc car to go woth mine, can get a Camaro body for it. But same width as the truck, so not quite the right scale.

Re: optimus prime transformers
this is the best size i could find that is close to the scale or even looks somewhat to scale anyway..it will be for photos and videos and display with optimus at various venues ..

Maisto make a nice 1/18 one that looks good, I might get one to go with the truck.
