I loved the Nemisis Prime repaint of the BH Optimus - which got me thinking - what would the mold look like as the earlier Nova Prime.

Fire up the airbrush, cue the A-Team Music - feed me beer and stand well back!!!

Hope you guys like, please let me know

Loved the character in the comics, and equally as well for your representation of Nova. 8)

:shock: Such Gundam-esque IDW greatness.... I cannot believe how much improvement can be made to this goofy (IMO) Optimus! Such a beautiful custom from a mold that I own and absolutely loathe. Amazing job. Bravo Sir. :APPLAUSE: Good Show. :BOWDOWN:

Don't worry I think it looks goofy as optimus too as nemisis prime it works well, as Nova prime it rocks!

Gundammit, that Nova Prime! I wish I could paint like that. :shock:

Does it still transform? :-?

It will still transform though I am waiting for the paint to harden before attempting, the only structural mods required involved sawing off the spikes under the chest and constructing a face-plate from modelling epoxy putty. Everything else is just paint effect and bringing out detail already present.

Which proves how much insane detailing HASTAK put in their molds. Too bad these details are always hidden because of lack of paint.

This is something I'd love for the Club to do.

Sadly though, as Kanrabat pointed out, so much detail will be left out.
