I have an idea of something I would like to see but have no knowledge or skill when it comes to this sort of thing, so I was wondering if anyone would consider accepting a request?

Let me know and we could talk more about it.

I would appreciate it greatly if someone could help.

it maybe a good idea giving a idea as to what you want doing and what figure you want doing as i think everyone maybe a little lost trying to understand what you wanna do

Oh sorry!

Well it all stems from the TF Live Action Movie, to be honest.

Like many people, I am slightly disappointed with the way in which Starscream looks in the upcoming movie.

What I was wondering was, would it be possible to take a model F-22 and kitbash it with perhaps a Masterpiece Starscream in order to get the new alt but with the better looking bot?

For the look of the bot itself, I was kinda thinking of perhaps modifying it slightly to look a tad more like the IDW version of Starscream (F-22), but with realistic colours?

As stated before I know nothing when it comes to this sort of thing so is it possible to get a quality finish with this?

Again I would appreciate your help and advice.

im sure its possable to reshell a mp starscream but i doubt you would find many that would want to shell out for the parts to make such a bot, im guessing if nothing went wrong you'd be looking at $300, thats without a commision fee
i dunno if you have a mp starscream but after owning one for a few weeks i wouldnt change a thing now

I don't currently own an MP Starscream but was considering getting one...I would just prefer it if he was an F-22 rather than the F-15!

What kind of parts would I be looking to buy if someone were to be able to make a good quality one?
...I can get the MP Starscream & the F-22, but I don't know what else would be required?!
Also when looking at MP-size TF's, what scale models would I be looking for? (Planes, Cars, Bikes, Etc.)

well you'd probably want more then one model jet to do the reshell as parts often get damaged, cut wrong or the gaps are too big,

i think mp prime is about 1.32 and starscream is about 1.60

to me Jaf seems to be the master of the re shell, he has a follow along project on this site for his alternator jaf but he makes it look alot easyer then it is
