Furai Model Attack Mode Optimus Prime

[UltraMarginal]

I haven't made a model anything in over 20 years. I won this kit a year or so ago and finally decided to give it a crack. I think I spent nearly as much on materials as the kit itself is worth.

The finished product is here (https://twitter.com/Ultra_Marginal/status/1283405702019428352?s=19)

Hopefully I'll get around to producing some in progress pics somewhere.

Looks great and looks like some fairly decent workmanship!

What other materials did you have to buy? I note you mention paint in your twitter post.

Very nice.

The turn table adds a nice touch to the display too.

Thanks guys.
I bought 4 different cans of spray paint, at $15 and $18. Tyre black, white, gloss black, metallic blue and metallic grey small paint tubs at $3 -$5 each. A couple fine brushes. Half a pack of bamboo skewers. Luckily I had some making tape on hand. I've taken a bunch of photos, I intend to put up a process thread at some point.
Using a spray gun and pressurised air can to prep gloss black to finish with alclad chrome was a failure. If I go there I'll need to buy a compressor.
