So I decided to change that. However, I faced a dilemma; should I paint him to better resemble his archetype? Maybe I should attempt to make a new character. Or perhaps I could give him Mindmaster's colors, just for shiggles. Since I didn't feel like sculpting a new head, our resident ECT Co. Rep was off the table (sorry, buddy!) Also, I've been wanting a "classics" inspired Starscream for my Decepticon shelf, so I decided upon a G1 color scheme.
Ladies and Gentelman, and Shadowman, for your viewing pleasure, Starscream.
- His body is painted mostly a flat light grey. I wanted something that was borderline white, and I'm happy with the result. The red and blue are gloss, as I wanted the contrast to make the colors POP.

- You can see a couple of spots where I haven't finished covering the original color; I will, but I was very eager to share this with you.

- Before, I always felt his face looked like he had a double chin. So I painted his "goatie" and "beard", and along with painting over the light-piping, his entire head now seems better proportioned. I made his eyes red, but it's difficult to see with my phone camera. It's there under natural light, though.
