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
