Mini Optimus Prime truck for 10302 plaque

Inspired by the upcoming 10358 Soundwave set, that features a miniaturized version of Soundwave’s cassette player as a companion piece for its plaque (as many UCS / adult collector’s set do), I’ve come up with this build.
My goal was to make it as small as possible while at the same time packing in as many details as possible.
The build is composed of 47 pieces (only in existing colors) and includes the windows and grill printed tiles that come in set 40803 Brickheadz Optimus Prime.

Sorry if this is not the place to talk about this, mods feel free to delete this part
I’ve also designed instructions and part list for it (even if it’s quite a simple build) and I was wondering if there was a site where I could put them up for sale with a “free offering / pay what you want” option: you want to build it for free, you can do it; you really like it and want to support my work and the time I’ve put into it, you can also do that).

I’m not sure if it has a “pay what you want” option, but you can upload MOC instructions and sell them on Rebrickable. Otherwise, I’ve seen Gumroad used for this purpose.

I’ve also tried to make a mini Bumblebee car and this is the best I could come up with. I’m not completely satistied with it, especially for the lack of “roundness”, but I also understand that there’s not much I can do at this scale (and that I’m not that talented as a builder).
On a side note, either the new stud.io update or me recreating custom tiles for these Transformers sets have broke something, since now when I try to render a build (or even a single normal brick) I always get an error message.

This is really awesome. Have you done Arcee as well?

No, since the all idea spawned from the mini Soundwave from the new set I’ve focused only on the released sets of Prime (that I own) and Bee.
I have no plans for making other Transformers.
