    I'm making a custom nova prime figure and cant decide the eye color. Pics will be up after i prime and paint everything, but any and all imput would be nice for his eyes. Should they be blue or red? Please comment and help me decide. Which looks best.

    Reason I'm curious and asking is because This is a custom He's based on after The Void got his hands on him/unicron got to him depending on continuities. So more imput is def welcome :)

    Is he white or did you give him the Nemesis paint job? If he's white, blue eyes. If he's Nemesis colors, red.:thumb

    I'm thinking more blue, but on the undersides of the eyes add a red tint.

    I'd say go with red, because as I recall, after the Void infected him, his eyes turned red, and he inverted his color scheme, and called himself Nemesis Prime.

    I think this post should be in another forum. Usually, only wip or finished customs (with pics) should be in here. Even digibashes or 3d CAD images of Shapeways get moved to the "art" section if they haven't got pictures of the actual, real item.

    Just a thought here but, what with all the guys doing half painted half "ghost", or whatever, maybe he could be pained up in transition between the two color schemes. One blue eye, one red, and part Nova, part Nemesis? Like the void is just taking hold oh him?

    Hope I didn't just cause you to scrap plans and redo the whole project.

    Ok so priming (ha) began today and the easiest pieces including the head are currently drying. in 2 hours i'll check and see if they need another coat. The very first thing I'm gonna complete before moving on is the head.

    Another quick update. While I wait for the main pieces to dry, I finished the Void Matrix. Honestly this thing scares me a little. The black crystal core, with a look of blood, with pulsing red at the corners...

    Eh lord knows. Either or, This is a custom so...i'm gonna improvise and deal with the eyes when i get there. For now I'm focused on priming all the red and blue pieces white, then i'll go back and color details. I'm also gonna get some paint tape for tires and whatnot. The grays i'm doing silver metal so they should be phenominal
