LEGO Powermaster Optimus Prime part 1 of 2

INTRO

First thing first.............. HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014 everyone! 

I think my MOC needs no introduction. its OPTIMUS PRIME!! What shall I say more to describe him? OK let me start by revisiting the Optimus Prime I made many, many years ago (link below):

Back then, that's as close as I can get trying to make a Powermaster Optimus Prime . But then again, it looked nothing like PM Prime except for the basic concept of  Regular Prime + Trailer / Exo-skeleton = More badass Prime. But as the time goes by, I felt a need to do PM Prime greater justice since its one of my favorite G1 toy . Guess what, the whole thing (part 1 and part 2) took me a bit over 2 months and considering the complexity of this project and my life schedule, I'm giving myself a huge pat on the back for a job well done!

I'm on Instagram!

While a blog is good for publishing photos and writeups , I think I need an avenue to share quick updates on what i've been up to lately .  Finally , I decided to share my LEGO-Transformers related activities via Instragram (link below).

As a bait to lure you into following me, here's my work-in-progress recently =)

Instructions for LEGO 31007 Power Mech Alternate Design - Transformer "Spring"

I have a very, very legit reason why I'm late in posting these instructions: I'm "up to something again" aka  new MOC project!  Yeah it kinda started out of a sudden about a month ago and I haven't been looking back since. But this huge MOC project is draining all (yes, ALL) my light grey bricks . I'm taking  a short break while compiling my "shopping list" and hit bricklink.com later.

Ok.... back to the instructions ....

LEGO 70707 Eradicator Mech Alternate Mode Instructions

Sorry for the delay! The past month's been gruelling with horrible,horrible work load, and also a few wonderful, wonderful events that kept me on my toes. There's barely any spare time for me to do anything LEGO related.

Anyway, I shall keep my rantings short this time. Instructions coming up!

LEGO 70707 Eradicator Mech Alternate Mode

Thic MOC is made from the parts from set 70707 Eradicator Mech . Not only that.... the parts were taken from ONLY the white mech ,leaving the other 2 critters untouched. Actually I plan to make full use of all the parts from this set, but was "intercepted" during disassembly by my spouse to leave the critters alone coz she liked 'em. Ah well.. that's less 100 parts for me to utilise I guess.

I've taken about 2 days over the last weekend to complete this MOC. Just like most of my LEGO-formers , It's fully transformable into a space jet without separation of parts.
