Installing longer smokestacks into 25th anniversary G1 Optimus Prime help
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me with the installation of the longer stacks into the latest reissue of Generation one Optimus Prime. I've disassembled one arm, but now I don't know how to put it back together. Would anyone have a diagram showing how the parts go back together? Thanks.

Slowly take apart the other arm and maybe take pics as you do it. Then reverse engineer it back together.

Thank you so much. I actually panicked when the first arm literally exploded. I slowly took the other arm apart, and then I analyzed the scheme of small parts inside it until I memorized the order. Finally, I reassembled the arms with the new (longer) smokestacks installed. Now 25th anniversary Optimus has his dignity back, and we can call him a true tractor trailer.  Once again, thank you for the advice; it really helped to calm me down as I worked.

Ok, this looks awesome. I was thinking of re-painting a Cybertron Red Alert into the Ecto-1, this artwork has truly inspired me to give it a try when I can find a spare Red Alert mold to use cheap.
What would be the best materials to use. First for the paint, second for the extra acessories and third... Anybody know how to make stickers of the Ghostbusters emblem to put on him when he's done? Is there another TF who's head is small enough and a closer match to the artwork? I've never made anything before, but I really, really want to give it a try.
I wonder, would the new 6' Matty GB figures accessories be to scale with the Red Alert mold? Course they're too expensive to buy one of let alone doubles for extra accessories for kitbashing. *SIGH*

Re: Customizing Q&A Thread
^cool concept!!^ - head=try classics jetfire,without the helmet.
- accessories= try value village,you never know what you'll find,and if you mess up,it only cost you a few cents anyways
- sand paper/scotch brite= if you sand it and give the paint something to bite onto,you'll have less chances of the paint chipping/cracking/peeling off.
- paint=totally your preference.
acrylic=less fumes,quick drying,water clean up,not as durable as enamel until it's "fully" cured.(just make sure to clear coat)
enamel=longer dry time,more time to "smooth it out",thinner clean up,waaaay more fumes,higher risk of paint "reacting/fisheyeing".again,make sure to clearcoat when finished,especially glossy colors for they will seem to never dry completely.
when in doubt,check out the tutorials section for "ttt's" painting guide
