My Favourite Toy Challenge - THX1138

Since nobody is doing this one, I might as well give it a go. I'm going to do the 1984 vintage optimus prime figure.

I'm using the actual toy as reference. I borrowed it from a friend that still had one from 1984. About the wheels, those are just temps. The cab is still off a bit. Thats whats making the wheels look funny. The temporary wheels are just there to help me fix the problems.

Update. Got a chance to get more done today. Got some legs and some other details on. The cab is still a little long so I have been working on that the most or else legs are going to look a little too long. I still have place holders for the wheels. Wont be long before it's done.
