Well that's just Prime

[fogger1138]

If her going for accurate 1:18th scale, just get one of the megatron guns from tofujesse and yer done

Or Marauder, for that matter.

Who or what is tofujesse??

Who... really?

Ah, okay. Guess I haven't been paying attention. The gun I would need for Megatron would be something like 12" long. Doesn't look like he casts that large.

Also, I need to put some rivets on Optimus- any ideas?

That's I said "accurate 1:18th scale"

Little dots of hot glue or the craft puffy paint?...for smaller rivets I've used styrene rod and just cut tiny slices off and glued on...

 

[Joerhyno]

You should try to get a Legends G1 Megatron John, it looks like the scale could fit in Primes hand. Might want to ask someone if they have one and how it looks in Unicrons hand first though.

 

[Keenan]

That's not a bad idea. Thanks, Joe.

In other news- Prime's head arrived today!

 

[Joerhyno]

My son has a Primus and Megatron looks a tad big in his hands, looking online, Uni's hands a bigger than Primuseses hands, so I think that might actually work.. you know, if you do it, you have to make Megatron the scope and stock thingie... to go with the Prime awesomeness.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Damn, that's ridiculous. So are you using a Prime bobblehead-head too? (I am pretty sure I've read this thread several times but didn't see the head mention yet, forgive me if it's been stated.)

 

[Keenan]

Yep, using a Prime bobble head. Can't wait to see how it looks.

 

[Keenan]

We've got head....

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Awesome!...can't wait to see some Prime crotch!

 

[Keenan]

I"m going to try and work on it tonight. (All this in just under a week.)

 

[Fled74]

You're really not doing your masculinity any favors, Eddie.

What do you have planned for the crotch area?

Awesome!...can't wait to see some Prime crotch!

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Only thing I see really is the arms stick out a tad far on those joints... Any way to take them in a bit?

And was this thing supposed to transform too?

 

[Keenan]

Not gonna transform. Wasn't really a priority for me. I've never transformed my MP version- that's around 10 years old now.
As for the arms, I'd love to kick them in about a 1/2" or so, but I'm afraid they wouldn't be as sturdy. I've had no issues with them and I like that. (Also they are in scale with the spacing on the MP Prime- for what that's worth.)

I'm not trying to...I'm trying to do you a favor

Looks awesome, regardless.

Damn, you're a fast worker!

 

[Keenan]

Compared to the HISS Tank this was actually pretty straight forward.
I'm not going to get anything done on the crotch section tonight. I have to build it up more then I expected. So I have to get some 1/4" plexi tomorrow for it.

 

[pcsguy88]

Amazing.

 

[Keenan]

I boxed out the arms joints- think it made a bit of a difference.Also got the bumper added. So he's pretty much ready for paint. I'll go over some small details on him tomorrow to be sure.

 

[pcsguy88]

Sweet!

 

[Keenan]

After two coats of red and silver...

 

[Keenan]

I couldn't be happier with the way this is turning out.
Got some more painting finished.

Just have to wait for the blue spray paint to arrive now.

 

[Keenan]

Also, here are a couple pics for Meddatron, who wanted to see Prime with Devastator.

 

[Monkeywrench]

Wicked!!!!

 

[Keenan]

Thanks, man.

Got Prime's gun started too....

 

[Keenan]

Wanted to see if he could actually hold his gun....

 

[pcsguy88]

So damn cool! Amazing job.

 

[Keenan]

Made some energon cubes....

Dark energon....

 

[Fled74]

Dude. That is phenomenal work.

 

[Keenan]

Thanks, man. Now I'm just waiting on Prime's shoulder symbol so I can add that and take final pics.

 

[Meddatron]

Also, here are a couple pics for Meddatron, who wanted to see Prime with Devastator.

Thanks!! That is fucking killer. Man he looks great. Job done seriously above expectations.

 

[The Willoughbian]

Damn! You got that done quick. Looks great. Devastator is unreal. He's gotta be over four feet.

 

[Keenan]

Thanks. I just got lucky and had the time to spare to get Prime finished. Devastator is 5'6".

 

[Monkeywrench]

Thanks. I just got lucky and had the time to spare to get Prime finished. Devastator is 5'6".

Mind Blown!

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

So.

Freaking.

COOL!!!!!

Can we get new shots head on with some Joes?


Gawd how I want a whole line of accurately scaled 1:18th TFs...

 

[Keenan]

Hey, welcome back! Hope you had a nice trip.

 

[Fled74]

Devastator is 5'6".

That's taller than my wife! Holy shit.

 

[Keenan]

Prime 2. This is based on mrplasticrobot's custom. My son saw it and really wanted one. So I took a few hours and put my own together.

Here's the unpainted WIP.....

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

I'm confused..

 

[Keenan]

This may clear things up.....

While I was doing research on Prime I came across that figure. My son spotted it and has wanted one ever since. So I decided to ho ahead and make him one.
