Re: Movie Optimus Prime build
I actually used pinheads. Drilled small holes with a pinvise, put the pin through and glued it, then cut off the bit inside.

Re: optimus prime transformers
Niiiiice. Love seeing trucks all lit up!
Bit of constructive criticism, the headlights look like cool white leds, which make them look quite blue. If you use warm white leds it will help to...

Re: Bobs Tamiya 1/16 Tiger 1
Much progress!
Being a Tamiya kit, most of the tank practically assembles itself, so a lot is done.
The lower hull is pretty much assembled, just adding all the details to it. I had to plug up...

Re: Bobs Tamiya 1/16 Tiger 1
Before i scored this Tamiya id looked at the various chinese clones, and to be fair most are carbon copies of the Tamiya, but with a few parts tweaked to avoid being sued. The quality tends to be a...

Re: Bobs Tamiya 1/16 Tiger 1
Yeah its a fairly flexible steel cable, there shouldnt be any reason you cant replace the cable with a longer one, as long as its the same diameter. Because of the way the sleeve on the loops work,...

Re: Movie Optimus Prime build
Model repaint done. I love the red paint i've used, but its stunningly hard to capture in a photo the true depth of the colour. I'll try getting a few pics under studio lights.
