Now, before you jump on my case and ask "Who do frenzyrumble think he is calling this piece epic?!?!?" - This custom Optimus Prime is for the one and only Cliffy B (formally of Epic Games) (catch the name play?)
Optimus Prime is non-transforming, and nearly completely scratch-build. Using a variety of styrene sheeting, molding compounds, epoxies and a variety of other materials...Optimus Prime stands a stunning 28 inches tall (that's 71.12 cm to you guys way over there) Prime weighs in at approximately 16 pounds (7.3 kg)
Optimus Prime is loaded with Easter eggs, details, LEDs and articulation.
ARTICULATION :
Epic Prime has articulation similar to MP-01 Optimus Prime. His head is on a ball joint, shoulders slide in and out to allow maximum articulation, shoulders are ratcheting joints, upper arms swivel, elbows articulated, wrists on ball joints and swivel, each hand has articulated fingers (hinged) and a ball jointed thumb. Also, Prime's waist is articulated, upper hips ratcheting joints, upper legs swivel at hips, knees are double jointed (like MP-01) knee is on swivel joint, and finally (breath) feet are on double ball joints. His chest also hinges open to reveal the Matrix of Leadership. Finally, his skirt panels on his waist are hinged to allow more poseability on his legs.
ELECTRONICS :
Prime has a nest of wires in him. Starting up top, he has 2 5mm Blue LEDs for each eye (optical sensor) He also has one additional blue LED that illuminates in sync with the voice chip. His voice chip says classic phrases like "Autobots! Transform and Roll out!", "All we need is a little energon...and a lot of luck", "Megatron must be stopped!", "I want you to make a special run to Autobot City" These voice prompts are triggered through a push button on Prime's back. Optimus Prime also has 4 running lights on the top of his chest. There is a bright yellow-orange 5mm LED inside Prime's gun, and then 3 more blue LEDs inside the Matrix of Leadership. The electronics for the Matrix of Leadership are independently contained inside the matrix, with a push button and power supply all inside. The LEDs for the other components are wired to a chamber in Prime's back. The on/off switch and batteries are easily accessible. The on/off switches are under Prime's armpits.
DISPLAY BASE :
I'm very happy with Optimus Prime's display base. It measures 18" in diameter, and 5½" tall. It is trimmed in chromed aluminum and has a glass surface. under the glass, recessed is a routed Autobot symbol, trimmed in metallic Silver. The display base contains a 16" diameter white neon ring (inside, under class) and a 18" ice blue neon ring around the outside perimeter. A simple flick of a switch, and it lights up an entire room...and the custom.
PAINT WORK :
I wanted to of course give Prime the traditional Red/Blue/Silver paint scheme, but - put a more realistic twist on it. I added subtle wear and tear to every edge of his body. I also added subtle blemishes throughout, because I believe - no giant warrior robot should ever have a perfect paint job. After he was constructed, I filled in any imperfections with a plastic epoxy, then primed , sanded - starting with a medium grit, working my way up to a fine grit and wet-sand. Once that was all to my liking, I coated Prime with base coated of Polyurethanes and Lacquer paints (via Air brush) then did details with enamels and acrylics.
EXTRA GOODIES :
Prime's chest opens to reveal the Matrix of Leadership. The Matrix chamber was crafted to house the Matrix snug, I used a 1/2" rare earth magnet system, so the Matrix snaps perfectly into place. Prime's gun was built using PVC piping. His smoke stacks are from large markers. The pin/grommet things on the sides of his knee caps are from mini-Lego man heads. Each hand has 10 points of articulation.

MAX GR.5 - THESE ARE DO IT YOURSELF SCRATCH ART, NOT STORE BOUGHT! DRAW IT .COLOUR IT. PAINT IT OVER AND SCRATCH!!
The Honey Suckle back-scratcher had mostly broke off so Link found a better place to scratch his back - the Nandina Bush.
I've made an extra effort to provide scratching options (scratch posts not shown here) for the cats so they will leave the new furniture alone. This variety of designated scratching places has been 95% successful.
Plan B to follow in the next few days.
Worn wall texture with scratches and holes. Use freely for your own post-processing, but please leave a comment so I know if anyone finds them useful.

While rooting around in some boxes of old stuff, I found this little spaceship and thought I'd post some pictures of it. I scratch-built this in 2000 or so, during my LEGO darkages. It's made out of styrene plastic sheets and bars that I bought at a hobby train store. Almost everything is hand made including the hinges, although I kitbashed some greebly type details from Star Wars Micro-Machine toys. Apparently I've been drawn to this color combo for a very long time. Cheers!

My cat was stressed today -.-''
She wanted to play with my hand and did not release it anymore while her claws went deeper and deeper in my hand ....
It was really hard to escape from that monster!
Nevermind. I'm still alive :)
