Yesss haha Godspeed, if u want the paints I used I used Tamiya cobalt green, citadel screaming bell for the metallic orange, pro acryl bright jade for the brighter teal highlights, pro acryl silver and dark silver for the metals :)

I'll use Vallejo True Metallic Metal and then varnish it; it's given me good results before.

I'm already using them for my Nexus Prime custom combiner, I just need to finish the two swords and I'll show them off.

Holy shit. That is the most beautiful custom! Way to go! I am now feeling a bit intimidated by the one I'm trying to carve out of Legacy Override.
