Revoltech Nemesis Prime
Given their nature of milking every Optimus Prime toy line available, it's a wonder why Takara didn't create his alter ego - Nemesis Prime. Well, I decided to try out a Nemesis Prime for the Revoltech line. It's been a real challenge though! I guess I underestimated the challenge in painting this little figurine.
I imagine Nemesis Prime to be one with a dark soul overwhelmed by hatred with a longing for pain. I wanted to bring out the depth of this character through its very striking red and teal highlights.
I used a convoy revoltech to repaint it into the darker more sinister Nemesis Prime! I coated it with primer as the material was kind of rubbery. First time working with such a surface. Gave him a jet black base coat. Think I hit almost 8-10 layers of black and silver paint for him! My favorite was of course the teal. No Nemesis Prime of mine will be complete without teal. His chest plate was given the most sinister red that I could find. Really gave it all I've got into creating the perfect figure with all possible detailing. The only thing missing is the Decepticon logo, which I ran out of when painting this figure
