Voyager Class Optimus Prime 4

This is my custom for the Voyager Class Optimus Prime from the Hunt for the Decepticons series. It is the most movie-accurate version of Prime produced by Hasbro at this size and is like a smaller version of the Leader Class Prime.

 

My customization includes a complete repaint of the figure plus adding battle damage and weathering.

 

To learn how I create this custom, read my two tutorials:

 

Part 1: How to Apply “Battle Damage” to Figures, Toys, Collectibles and Models

 

Part 2: How to Paint a custom “Battle Damaged & Weathered” Optimus Prime or Any Other Toy, Model or Collectible

 

Details of this custom include:

 

Repaint of entire exo-skeleton, red & blue parts (leaving flames intact)

Painted all parts to be movie accurate

Added flames to the front chest piece

Added blue arm bands with red flames

Added red shoulder guards

Added blue trimming to forearms

Added gold and copper detail

Added in chrome trimmings and coloured in lights. I paint over the lights with chrome silver first, followed by a coat of clear orange or clear blue to create the illusion of a coloured light cover.

Changing the colours of the windscreens from tinted blue to tinted black with a “Smoke”-coloured paint.

Details for head

Metal-tone finish for the “Matrix”

Battle damage including laser slashes, bullet holes, dings and dents

Weathering with mud and grass effects
