Default Re: Movie Optimus Prime build

Courtesy of the public holiday, got a fair bit done today.
Dismantled the whole thing so i could drill mounting holes in the chassis rails for the steps, tanks, and toolboxes. And of course drilled the steps, tank mounts, and boxes themselves. The tanks are only double sided taped on at the moment, couldnt bring myself to put a drill through that bling from Russ!

While dismantled i also sanded and repainted the rails, they had various scratches from where i keep putting bits on for test fittings.

Just finished putting it all back together.




Am waiting for a couple of parts for the rear end to arrive before i put the rear light plate on, will have to cut a bit of the rails off for that. Also new bumper, the one i made was too thin.

Next things being worked on are the light bars under the sleeper and cab.
Still a thousand and one little things to do, but he's getting there!
