IDW Optimus Prime Flame Toys Kit
Posted by JLKahn on Thursday, February 6, 2020 10:21 AM

This kit was alot of fun to build. Only complaint was the total lack of water slide decals. It only comes with foil stickers. Painted with Vallejo paint. All metalic parts were top coated with testors aztek gloss, and the normal colored parts were topcoated with aztek matte.

Oh wow that's cool! Were you able to paint and assemble or did you have to mask all those colours off? In any case a lot of work but some really nice results. Yes

The model was generally molded in color, so I was able to paint a vast majority of the parts before assembly. However, the color break down is not as advanced as a gundam kit, so Alot of  the smaller detail colors had to be masked off or hand painted on. Shockingly it's still poseable with all that paint slathered on and I havn't had any scraping or chipping problems around the joints.
