Ultra Magnus Cab Restore

[16364279]

ill go the baby wipes on the trailor first, i was also thinking about using a tiny bit of Gif to get the hand marks out.

In regards to the the cab i bought the skull white today and the automotive chromer. When taking off the smoke stacks and the radiator grill do i just clip them out or will they break ?

seeing kups fort maximus motivated me to try with my magnus but seeing turtle boys prime has made me reconsider perhaps because it was still unfinished at that stage.

should the skull white only be used for the metal parts where the paint chips are ?

Yes. Don't use it on the white plastic or the factory paint.

The smokestacks dont just clip on, it has a tab that secures it in place so youd have to disassemble the upper arms at the back, be careful when you do so as there are small metal bits inside that's easy to loose make sure your in a clutter free area when doing this so even if it does pop out accidentally you'd easily see where it is. The front grill is a pain to remove coz it is screwed at the back. So unless you can figure it out and have enough patience well be my guest. It would be easier for you to just put masking tape on it to spare it from getting smeared with the paint. then doing the reverse when your chrome painting it.

okay ive touched up the white paint chips on the metal with the skull white paint also ive touched up on the chrome bits that obviously needed a touch up and ive put magnus back together. I still need to give him another good clean up aswell as get stickers and missing accessories.

All in all it was a good learning experience never realised how many mechanisms made up his inner arms and how many screws he had.

Congratulations, he is looking pretty good. The reprolabels will certainly finish the job very nicely.

Very nice!

Paint his face silver as that will really improve his look.
