Gents,
Very stoked to be posting here. I have been watching and reading this forum for months. I started collecting movie toys for my son, then saw what you guys were doing with customizations and thought it was one of the coolest things I had ever seen.
I instantly started reading about how you guys were doing them, and looking at some of the fkn AMAZING results you guys were getting, and started painting myself. It has been like 6 months of trying different paints, different methods, and reading reading reading here and a couple of other forums. And finally, I have done a couple of customs that I think may be worthy of your guys time, but maybe not, and we will see
For this custom I wanted something very close to the TF Prime series Nemisis Prime. I wanted it to be show accurate, with the faded colors and darker overall look, but I also wanted it to be somewhat like the Takara figure as well. I finally found my candidate in Dark Energon Prime. I took the head off a regular voyager RID Prime, double guns from Dr. Wu, and Spaz Stix Chrome on them.
This guy is still red and blue underneath the darker hue as to be very show accurate in my mind. I took a photo or two in the sun outside so you could see how he looks when the light hits him and his under colors really come out. Anyways, let me know what you guys think as I want to see if I am finally getting better at this lol. Thank you everyone for looking and very proud to be a member here
Let me know if you guys like him, thanks
