had an extra "[img]" on the first pic so i reposted it for you.

I like your color choices for the blue and the purple. They look good. Do you intend to do the coneheads?

Nice looking Seekers. I'm probably going to go this route myself.
I can understand the Botcon Seekers being expensive, but why are Henkei TC, 'Warp, Thrust and Dirge so much compared to Screamer or Ramjet?

because screamer and ramjet were general releases in japan also. Skywarp, thrust, and dirge were still exclusives.

thanks for the help reporting the pic, I used tester dark blue enamel spray for a base then testor blue and then testor metalic flake for thundercracker and for skywarp straight hand painted gloss black enamel and purple acrylic (both tester aswell). I have both classics and universe SS and classics ramjet too, and all labeled. I want to do thrust and dirge too but don't really know where to begin for the wings. I really don't want to buy (I mean pay!) those high prices for the takara exclusives right now but the wings are really my creative stumbling block. Thanks for your comments and any input would be much appreciated.

well our friends over@tfw have provided tutorials just for this.

for dirge you could always do what botcon did, and simply repaint ramjet. Its not perfect but it works very well.

or you could follow this link

Thrust will require mods to work...i don't think there is really anyway around that. linky linky

thanks guys, I was planning to do those two customs gutter bunny but it seems that hasbro has made these two more accesable to the general public by releasing them in the generations line....never thought I'd say it but, Thanks Hasbro!

Mykltron when I painted them I had my G1 thundercracker and skywarp as references for the repaints.

Grimmdragon these are done from 25th Starscreams.
