Thats my goal for the blade's color. Hopefully I can get something close to it.

My only suggestion is to make the blades slightly more square-ish. I find the very rounded blades clash with the blockier designs of Classics Prime.
Extra points if you can make it clip on or fit in one way or another in truck mode ala Deluxe Animated Prime (either one), semi-between the legs sticking out the back of the cab.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll see if I can do a second set for the blades. Not sure if I'll be able to store it in truck mode. But it'd be cool if I could.

These won't be mass produced, at the moment, their just custom pieces I'm making for myself and a friend. I have gotten interest from fans on TFW, so I might consider a short run if possible. But these will never be sold at retail. So I think it should be fine.

Alternitively, come up with a unique insignia that fits the transformers theme, but that you can use in other projects as a sort of logo.

Cool idea! The symbol can easily be edited out of the model. I keep the construction of my 3D models simple, so editing can be easy.

Not sure. I'm guessing $15-20 on this? I haven't used them yet....

No bump maps on this model, everything is pure modeled detail.
At the moment, the shaft will be part of the base. But I did think about making it separate so it could turn. It all depends on the width of the peg that would be used. If I could create a 5mm peg for the shaft to plug into the base, I'll consider making it turnable.
