I noticed the same thing, and it's probably due to the angle.

And the most recent face is made of the ribcage of an Interlink 6 Repaint figure... :shock:

I got the helicopter itself a few years back from Intertoys. It's from that GI Joe wannabe line that Intertoys has been pimping for ages.

Oh, and I live in Arnhem (Gelderland), but I think the only chance you'll have of seeing it in person is by going to Transformations this sunday. :wink:

You mean Transformations? Here: http://trypticon.nl/ If you meant the wannabe GI Joes, then walk into an Intertoys and look for a wall crammed full with military toys. That's them.

So yeah, I won with the kitbash contest, but that wasn't hard. The only competition was Black Arachnis' Armada Menasor (superpants Prime with Minicons) and repainted PVC figures.

Anyways, he's finished, and here's the promised gallery.

For the rest of the pics, check the gallery: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v708/Ra88/Blackout%20Finished%20pics/?start=0

Accurate to what? MP3 Starscream isn't accurate to any previous incarnation, but he's still a masterpiece. And in my opinion this guy is a masterpiece as well.

Well,MP screamer was accurate in mold,and the right vehicle mode,but like i said,this bash rocks,it's more of a HUGE revoltech.

Ok, I take back my previous comments about the paint job. I don't know if its the changes to the head or just the better lighting in these pics but I love it now.

Oh, and that first illustration you did kicks @$$ too. Was that done in adobe illustrator with an actual photo? At first I though it was just a really cool drawing, but then the details on the stomach made me rethink that guess.

It's an actual pic that's been edited with Photoshop. I actually made an entire comic with that, you can check it out here: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/57143625/?qo=5&q=by%3Ara88&qh=sort%3Atime+-in%3Ascraps
