G1 style HOS Optimus Prime

[Unicron-9]

Painted the knight Morpher figure to better resemble G1 Optimus Prime.
Again I liked the clean look so I didn't dry brush wear on him.
I love this figure. I just wanted him to have a more G1 look with more metallics.

I like the blue touches you gave to the "trailer", it's relatively simple yet does so much for the G1 resemblance.

Wait how did you peg it in one shot??! Yes Folk art Metallic blue. Not the most dependable for avoiding scrapes so I use sprays to seal it, but it is my favorite color of paint.

Thanks for the nice comments Payton, Sol, and TV.
I have another Unicron and 3 seekers then I'll be out of commission work and can do some Ebay stuff. Maybe I'll do another one of these and put aside the Menasor combiner I started last week.
