Custom Legends Class Optimus Prime

Here is my latest custom Optimus Prime!

From the big, I’ve now gone to the small with a micro Legends Class Movie version Optimus Prime. This figure stands 3 inches tall and I did my personal custom battle damage & weathering effects to this Prime.

The Legends Class Prime is far from movie accurate but I corrected as much of the colour scheme to make it as accurate as possible and added in multiple details.

Customization details include:

Painting

• Gun metal and chrome silver dry brushing for exo-skeleton and metal parts
• Red & Blue panel painting
• Gold Trim
• Chrome & clear blue light details

Battle Damage & Weathering

• Bullet Holes
• Laser Slashes
• Dings and Dents
• Shattered Glass
• Mud & Grass Effects

So, it is still possible to do a custom with a small figure without buying a large expensive one.

To learn how I create a custom, read my two tutorials:

Part 1: How to Apply “Battle Damage” to Figures, Toys, Collectibles and Models

Part 2: How to Paint a custom “Battle Damaged & Weathered” Optimus Prime or Any Other Toy, Model or Collectible
