Scratch-built Decepticon Warship "Nemesis"
Posted: Thu Jun 20, 2019 10:47 amHi everyone,
It has been ages since I posted my first and last custom in these boards (a sculpted G1 Optimus head for Evasion Mode Prime). The Siege line re-ignited my interest in collecting Transformers (as I think has happened with many folks), and my collection has become a favourite of my kids. I decided to embark on a major project: construct sturdy, massive custom toys of the Ark and the Nemesis. The Ark was finished at the beginning of the year, and I have now only just completed the Nemesis.
Made from 1/8" thick styrene sheet with detailing using 020 thick sheet, this giant vehicle is about 32" long.
Here's an image with Voyager Megs and Soundwave!
There are two large compartments for figures, and I plane to make modular computer terminals and a command chair for Megatron:
I'm particularly proud of the styrene faction symbol, hand painted with acrylics to look like the scene transition version of the logo from the G1 cartoon:
Bottom view:
And here it is with my custom made Ark:
And here's a YouTube video with terrible production quality!

That is truly incredible. I am awed by your skill and scope.
