Re: optimus prime transformers
here are the rear doors for the transformers reefer trailer.i wanted the small square angled tile look for the rear doors that you normally see on the trailers so i used evergreen styrene to get that look now i just need to chrome them

Re: optimus prime transformers
not sure whether to use bare metal foil or go for that chroming paint i saw in another section on here.there is a shop close to me that does it apparently its a 3 step process and they can chrome anything from wood to plastic to metal etc

Re: optimus prime transformers
here is the new reefer unit to replace the tamiya one on the trailer.this is a better replica of the actual unit on the transformers trailer,it appears darker but its the lighting and the picture is inside but it actually matches the blue on my trailer..its a slow process but i want this replica to mirror the actual truck and trailer..hope you like

Re: optimus prime transformers
Hey loaded heavy yea the third part he has a trailer that carries his weapons.they show it a few times very briefly but if you google it they have photos of it.it looks like its a utility brand stainless reefer trailer.and goose i think someone on here posted a link on here somewhere about this chroming process and the video shows it being applied by a spray bottle
They put a coating on something and add something then they spray a solution and as it runs on and spreads it chromes whatever they are doing and its mirror chrome.its unbelievable and there is a place near me that does it and apparently they can do anodized chrome colours too.i went on the website and they have a video of the process.....wow.i will try to find it again and post it here or at least the name of it.i am thinking of doing it if its not too expensive
