Hi all,

so have decided to finally pullout a custom for the FoC Figures, this is my first custom on a transformers toy. and i am quiet pleased with it although i do need some tips from you more experienced customizes for some more stuff that i would like to do down the track.so with out further ado here he is.:)

tried to stick with the Nemesis colors as best i could but probably the hardest part was trying to paint the main body, i used acrylic paint with a bush. which doesn't give the best result, i plastic primed the body to start with and now I'm thinking that a spray can would have done a better finish. so if any of you guys could give a newbie in customizing so tips it would greatly be appreciated.:D:D

Very nicely done dude, I like the choice of colours but I'm most particularly impressed with the head man - You've done an incredible job in picking out details with the paint but also where you've chosen to place each colours just looks really friggin' good! :eek::cool:

Thanks Hursti,

The head just fell into place when I started to paint, the main overall color is gun metal grey with the red eyes and a metallic green adds that accent to his forehead and side vents, I tried the metallic silver first with the mouth guard but it was to close to the grey so it was not working so I decided to use black, I wish I had of used a dark blue for the overall color and the silver would have popped with it, and if I had have gone the black it would have got lost In whole figure. Even though this is my first custom I really happy with it but I have a lot to improve on if I decide to continue with custom work. Now all I wish for is they release a FOC nemesis from the factory.:D
