DMK 01 - Optimus Prime (Part 2)


Here are some progress pics after days of experimenting with black panel wash and painting of chrome silver and gold on the various hydraulic pistons of this beautiful kit.

I must say the hand wasn't well designed. Although the individual digits mimics the human hand, they tend to become loose and fall off if you move them. I decided to use a heated flat head screwdriver to melt the protruding joints so that they form permanent rivet joints. I didn't do a good job with the left hand digits though.

Here's a pic of the left hand after painting and dry brushing with silver.


And here is a pic of the leg portion. Ya, ya, I know most of the details will be hidden after I fix the armour pieces, but heck, I know they are there ;p


This is the end result after working on this kit after work for the past 2 weeks.
