had a thought on the tank Headmaster but that means another Hot rod and a few mods and a Mobile Cannon which to do that i Would need to drill a Hole In the Roof Section and In the Back section of the Fold.

Damnit I want to do a similiar Superion but I can't find any seekers other then Ramjet in my area. And though I think Ramjet could work for one of them I want Screamers for the rest.

Are you gonna keep jetfires Rocket pack for the chest? or gonna make a new chest piece that fits there. Cause I'm not "feeling" the pack as a Chest use.

Is he going to have hands, or do the arm bots feet work as fingers somehow?

Lemme sneak in a quick custom between Ratbat's posts here... :lol:

Yet another Starscream. I was sparse on the details on the back. I didn't want a full blue tail, but I didn't want it too boring either.

As for insignia, I REALLY want to put transparent ones down instead of chrome-backed, but I don't have any and don't really need an entire sheet from reprolabels.

And the robot mode. I painted the panels the arms attach to, as well as the sides (leaving a section alone for the 'belt'). Plus, I painted up inside the helmet where it meets with the faceplate.

Better shots of the sides and under the arms. Repainted the vent housing on the shins. I also left the legs in a two-tone, since the vynil spray coat didn't want to grab the harder plastic of the upper legs. And the two-tone doesn't look half bad. Plus, leaving the guns unpainted will give the second tone a little more presence.

I don't think I'll be doing any other details, except putting the symbols on.

that does look really good (the two tone). May have to consider something like that myself. One thing that I did to mine that I think helps a lot, and makes it more G1ish, I used Gunmetal Gray on the vents below his knees. I have a PVC fig of him and that was the first place I noticed that they were gray there.

I have some gunmetal gray. I might try it and see how it comes out.

Sun Apr 29, 2007 3:41 pm

I'm planning to paint the face on mine Gunship Gray, since the cartoon always made his face so dark.

I actually did that too... but I'm not so sure now. I might go back and try to mix half way between it and steel.

Nice job, Pun. That paintjob (particularly the main hull colour) actually puts me in mind of Pretender SS!
I like that you painted the arm flaps the same colour as the torso details (in this case red); I think I might borrow that trick for my seekers - at the moment, those flaps are the same colour as the main hull.
You're right about the two-tone legs looking more interesting than the natural matching ones he comes with. Personally, I gave mine a darker grey coat, but this works well too.

very nice pun nice smooth finish in looks and Like what you did on the inside

Mon Apr 30, 2007 8:50 am

I really like what you've done with Starscream Pun. It's a very clean and consistant look, and you even got in the areas people usually wouldn't care to paint.
