    Custom Lugnut Supreme (24 of 35).jpg
    So I finished this up a couple weeks ago, then after I got my good pics taken and posted to social media proceeded to forget to actually make a thread here.

    Conceptually, this started in my head as soon as the Titan got revealed last year, but it didn't properly become an actual idea I wanted to do until late July, when TRU put everything 20% off for TFs and the observation was made that stores were still stocking Omega Supreme. At which point I went "hmmm; you know, I could do this custom I've wanted for AGES and then clear a space for Scorponoks."

    One digibash and trip to TRU later and I was committed.

    Took about 2 months or so, partly because the black I chose for primer kept going out of stock, and it takes a LOT of cans to spray paint a Titan-class figure, as it turns out. (I spent a LOT on paint is all I'll say.) Most all of it was Tamiya sprays with a clearcoat added at the end.

    The new face was a resin 3D print designed by a friend of mine, with the eye as a 3D print done in clear red filament.

    Also made in the process was a new Micromaster partner to go with this Titan - and Clobber felt like a solid choice. Her purple/red was done with Model Master paint, and the face was a quickie resculpt using epoxy.

    Photos by Plastic Spark Photography - he'd expressed interest in shooting it and I wasn't going to pass up getting high quality pics of a grail custom taken.

    This is really excellent!

    All the little painted details are just enough to make this look like a premium deco, but not so much as to look overdone.

    You have a great eye for painting just enough detail to be balanced and complimentary.

    This is one of the best customs I have ever seen on this website! I need Hasbro to make this, I'd buy 3.

    I love every bit of this, especially tiny Clobber and that amazing Lugnut Supreme head.

    Thanks for all the kind words, people!

    So who's gonna do a Titan-class ATOMIC Lugnut Supreme? It's admittedly not gonna be me, cool as that would be.

    I am generally opposed to the overuse of the word epic cause if everything is epic than nothing is epic but in this case it's absolutely deserved.
