Here is a look at my Nemesis Prime custom which is now on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=250156188183&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=015

Here is the alternate mode. He is based on the Voyager Optimus Prime mold. The flames are made by a company called Pro-Stripe, and I found in in an automotive store. Its original purpose is to be some sort of pin-striping for cars. The only color I saw was silver...

The windshield and lightpiping for the head are painted with Testor's Transparent Candy Apple Red Enamel. Unfortunately, I accidentally dropped the windshield into alcohol, and it fogged up. My only recourse was to paint it dark enough to where you couldn't tell.

What happened to the Autobot symbol??? Well, I covered the symbol with Hobbico filler, sanded it flush, covered it with a little crazy glue, snaded it down again, painted the area silver, and attached a reprolabels.com Decepticon symbol!

The details are painted on using Testor's enamel...I even gave him LIGHT wash of silver where I felt it was applicable, and covered the silver bits in a light black wash to make him look dirty. He is a bad guy after all...

Is that Bonecrusher skating up to Nemesis Prime? NO! Its Optimus Prime, scourge of Nemesis Prime!

There can be only one victor...

Finish Him!

I made the "sword of fury" from K-Mart Gift Cards. I cut them up, glued them together, painted them, and gave some vinyl accents.

Inspire by John Woo!

Black Repaint Syndrome aside... yum. Loving the flames and sword...

hmmmm... have to think about that one a while.. there have been soo many, but you may be right.

Also a bit fatigues with the black Prime repaints, but this one does look very good.

Think the mold itself already lends itself for an excellent Nemesis Prime look, but you've really brought this out in a superb way.

Looks very good.

I'm not a huge fan of black repaints of toys either.

Make a toy clear/transparent, and I'll buy it like candy though!

Anyway, I always try to do things that others haven't, and I've seen a few Nemesis Prime's made from Leader Prime, but no one ever messes with the Voyager version. Not sure why...it wasn't suc a bad mold to work with...

I ended up getting the clear Classics Mirage...kinda disappointing that its basically all clear blue...it would have been HOT if it was a combination of clear and clear blue plastic!

Overall I like him, and glad I spent the money...

Just a reminder, the auction for Nemesis Prime ends tonight!

How did you make the clear red windows with the Testors Translucent Red? Were the windows originally just plain clear, or were they blue?

I spray painted one of my Gundam's clear green beam sabers, and it didn't turn into the clear red I wanted. :-(

And here I was thinking the one thing it needed was more teal.

All in all a really nice repaint, and one of the better Scourgifications out there. I do, however, think that a a little more teal (helmet detail, maybe some on the arms/legs) would really cement the Scourge look.
