Custom Gold Chrome Convoy

[dri1]

Hi guys,

I did not personally make this but asked a friend of mine to custom chrome a convoy for my wife. My wife being a big fan of OP & wanted to have a gold convoy eversince she saw it in the net. I can't afford the lucky draw even if I find one ;D She's cool to have even a custom-made as long as it's gold convoy.

I picked-up recently MP-2 Ultra Magnus (re-issue) & this 1 has QC Issues. Paint too thick & missing screws on the left leg. So I brought the MP-2 to my friend to custom chrome it.

The finished product: Custom Gold Chrome Convoy




































This by no means comes closer to the Lucky Draw Gold Convoy, it has some flaw w/c I expected already. Some chrome chips, mirror finish compared to some SOCs is below par and surface finish little rough due to sanding of original paint.

Over-all I'm very happy on the outcome of this Project and appreciated the effort that's been done. This is a special request & they have not chrome a MP OP before.

Thanks for looking.

Cheers to everyone

That looks awe-spiring sir!

Why is it that when "friend" and "chrome" are in the same sentence, I think of Mr. Underground himself, Grimm? ;D

Hi guys,

Not to hijack sir dri1s thread but simply just to take the opportunity to thank him for making this dream project possible.

Anyway, here are some additional pics of his Gold Convoy with the Gold TFTM OP. TFTM is such a big fan of convoy! ;D

















Admitedly there were some flaws since the MP was pre-painted... but on the other hand... we did our best. I was really proud of the chromed rubber parts specially on the mini megatron!

Comments and suggestions on how to further enhance these kinds of projects are very much welcome. ;D
