The Energon Pub

Something I haven't really shared on here a lot is my custom work. I haven't done a ton, but I thought "What the heck." and figured I'd start posting it. So now, I present to you, this morning's project and the first (and smallest) entry to Bronze's Custom Shop, TR Nucleon! Yes, it's a simple, quick, beginner level repaint (plus he still needs some clean-up, there are some rough parts around his thighs), but I like the way he turned out, and anything would be better than the grey blob he was before. Before and after time!





I also fixed Nuke's loose left arm, which kept falling off and wouldn't clip properly.

So, yeah! I hope to post a lot more of my Customs, and hope to customize a lot more in the future. (I'm looking to take Cobotron's crown of best-custom-CW-Bluestreak soon. Muhahaha)

Lookin' good, BW!

Thanks!

Great job - nice and clean applications for such a small model. Have you considered applying a dark grey paintwash to some of the light grey plastic? Could bring out the details in the face and thighs, for instance.

Thanks! I'm not very experenced in doing paint washes, but I agree, it would bring out the detail. I'll look into it. Thanks for the tip!
