Movie Voyager Starscream Head Swap

Postby Optimist_Prime » Tue Feb 19, 2008 11:44 pm

I thought the head sculpt for voyager SS looked absolutely horrible. The FAB SS head sculpt looked spot on w/ the movie. I used a FAB Ramjet head b/c it is casted in a more neutral color.

I wish I had taken a pic after I removed the paint w/ rubbing alcohol. There is so much detail to this mold that is lost to the factory paint.

The head swap was actually kinda complicated. FAB SS/RJ's head is on a ball joint where as SS is just a peg. I used the existing ball joint and small square base of plastic. Then chopped off the peg and dremeled out the size of the square base on voy. SS. I then used some 2-ton epoxy to glue the head down.

Finally a simple paint job. A black wash followed by silver dry brushing, and some gold detailing. I also dotted the "sculpted eyes" red and painted that little bar that crosses over them silver. Had to use the itty bitty brush for that :grin: .

You can't even tell it's off an FAB.
Do you intend to detail the rest of the figure as much as the head, cause that'd be awesome.

The thought keeps popping up in my head. It wouldn't be too easy, but then again the best projects arn't
