![[Mini Anime Prime] aT+

his is a mini bootleg optimus prime, it was found by myself in a house clearence with a mi
ssing leg, which turned up later that day and missing smoke stacks (if it ever had any).
The limbs were loose and the figure had no paint detailing whatsoever, the head, hands and legs were just blue plastic, the chest windows and back of head/eyes were clear orange.the upper legs were greyish and the torso and arms were red.
I've had this for over a year and considered binning it many times, but then I repaired mpo1 and thought this is easy. The first thing I did was tighten his joints with plumbers tape (PTFE for those who know) then I used the "anime windscreen technique"on the windows and used masterpiece prime as a paint by looking method for all else, used acrylics and plasticoat on different parts.
now masterpiece anime prime has a mini me
as a sidenote the smoke stacks are made from a spare masterpiece primes foot hydrolic cut in half. perfect size at least now hes has](userimages/customs/25500/25357-1.jpg) Mini Anime Prime Transformersby craftsmithaT+

I was looking for a masterpiece prime on a website and bid on several that went for a lot more than my missus would let me spend, £150 plus, then I bid on this heap of junk for £5 including p+p, he was listed as broken g1 prime cab only so was overlooked by all but me, luckily. It was missing his head, left foot and left arm flip panel. also had no gun, axe matrix etc. but I thought I could use him to experiment with.
First thing I did was get a spare power master prime head and saw off the peg/flap, then I unscrewed it and covered the eyes with crome tape followed by a light painting of blue gloss to give him shiney blue eyes.
Then I painted his chest with a variety of blue shades to create the cartoony look, used some plasic food container lid to make the flip up arm panel and painted that in smoke grey plasticoat and red acrylic, at the same time I acrylic red the autobot logo to give it a different tone th](userimages/customs/25500/25342-1.jpg) Anime Masterpiece Prime Transformersby craftsmithThis is part restoration, part repaint, and parts mess around.

![[Midnight Prime] Yet another battered g1 ultra magnus found its way into my workshop, first I had to clean the dirty little guy, then straight repaint with deep blue gloss paint (never again hes still a little sticky) the decals are red acrylic, smoke grey plasticote and an autobot logo from a comic book. I then made a windscreen from plastic food packaging and painted it red streaky and backed that with silver chrome tape, it looks better in person the photo looks dull. His hands are from a battered transformers movie carformer with a camera face? No mod needed they just popped in. He looks great with my other primes but needs a trailer any suggestions on a base to make one?](userimages/customs/25500/25211-1.jpg) Midnight Prime Transformersby craftsmithYet another battered g1 ultra magnus found its way into my workshop, first I had to clean the dirty little guy, then straight repaint with deep blue g...2 comments | ![[Shadow Commander G1 Prime] I saw the disney car trailer and thought "custom" for one of my primes, it opens just like g1 and is well detailed with indents and lines etc. I was origionaly going to create a trailer for animated prime but the wheels on this were too small then I found a spare magnus in my custom box and thought full out custom.
the recipe for this was gloss black plasticoat paint and various acrylics for prime then some stickers from a wst prime that were spare. Then I gave him a cannon from a knock off figure. The trailer was made from a cars trailer gutted and stripped of stickers, resprayed with plasticoat in smoke grey colour with acrylic colours and silver duct tape for the stripe, teletron one is a knock off helicopter flipped over and a few random missiles glued in to give it a battle station look. the minicons and bumblebee store away without hinderence and the ramp is perfect size for bumblebee.
not a great custom as I was hassled by my toddler son so I intend to redo this at a](userimages/customs/25000/24995-1.jpg) Shadow Commander G1 Prime Transformersby craftsmithI saw the disney car trailer and thought "custom" for one of my primes, it opens just like g1 and is well detailed with indents and lines et...4 comments |
![[Axiom Prime] I bought a wst prime in clear black without detailing so I could custom it myself, was origionaly going to call him Acid prime (like acid rain seeker) but as I got into it I painted an OM symbol and decided on AXIOM PRIME. Mostley used plasticote paints silver and gold, decided to use green acrylic and mixed black for shaded areas. Turned out OK and sits proudley with my worlds smallest collection.
The background for this character,
he is an autobot who landed in the tibeten mountains and joined forces with buddhist monks to defend against the decepticons who are seeking an ancient weapon. The weapon is called the thunder hammer of shiva, it has the power to destroy worlds and has been guarded by the monks for millenia. Axiom has studied the way of enlightenment and maintains a calmness even in the heat of battle, he has a trailer like optimus and his golden counterpart to roller is called trojan.](userimages/customs/25000/24610-1.jpg) Axiom Prime Transformersby craftsmithI bought a wst prime in clear black without detailing so I could custom it myself, was origionaly going to call him Acid prime (like acid rain seeker)...0 comments | ![[Optimus Prime] This is my first custom show and tell so criticism and praise are both welcome. This prime started his life as a cheap imitation transformer, it was ugly but it had potential. I basically cut the front end of bonnet off as it stuck out and looked pregnant, I fitted a spare grill from movie pime voyager figure inside (after trimming to shape). Then I wipped off its head and gave it a G1 ultramagnus head, found out a knock off prime gun and then painted it up for the body I used plasticote and acrylic for the head. the bonnet is tight in monster truck mode and removes to transform, I was going to turn it into a shield.](userimages/customs/25000/24577-1.jpg) Optimus Prime Transformersby craftsmithThis is my first custom show and tell so criticism and praise are both welcome.
