Movie Optimus Prime build

[kingbob]

Just found some 1/64 light blue pinstripe tape. Works out at 0.39mm so should look better.

[kingbob]

Got my cab and sleeper light bars finished. Couple of finger prints to wipe off but good to go!
Love Lynns bezels, these are the 3mm ones.

[kingbob]

Light bars fitted.
If it wasnt so overcast they'd look shinier.

If I've counted correctly, the truck will have 90 LEDs in it. So yeah it'll light up the whole dam* room if they're all on at the same time!

Let alone however many wind up in the trailer.

Actually looking at that pic I need to lower the steps a little, and add a small air tank on them too.

Me too! I think yours will be done before mine though. Still waiting on my grille etc to arrive, and mine hasn't seen paint yet. (I'm redoing the rear fenders, the blue pinstripe was too thick)

[1985 kenworth]

[1985 kenworth]

Yeah I couldn't let a more accurate grille like that go past. Plus I was never totally happy with the maker lights I did so that solves that too. I'm getting the breather lights too, again put the ones I made to shame.

Was funny I sat down to make a tray for the headache rack from pmd, happened to check eBay and saw that guys headache rack, so saved myself the hassle and ordered that too.

Just have to buy another king hauler to use the redundant grille, headlights, and headache rack on!

Am looking forward to seeing the paint job! Did your painter manage to do the pin stripes?

[1985 kenworth]
