I have an idea of something I would like to see but have no knowledge or skill when it comes to this sort of thing, so I was wondering if anyone would consider accepting a request?

Let me know and we could talk more about it.

I would appreciate it greatly if someone could help.

it maybe a good idea giving a idea as to what you want doing and what figure you want doing as i think everyone maybe a little lost trying to understand what you wanna do

Oh sorry!

Well it all stems from the TF Live Action Movie, to be honest.

Like many people, I am slightly disappointed with the way in which Starscream looks in the upcoming movie.

What I was wondering was, would it be possible to take a model F-22 and kitbash it with perhaps a Masterpiece Starscream in order to get the new alt but with the better looking bot?

For the look of the bot itself, I was kinda thinking of perhaps modifying it slightly to look a tad more like the IDW version of Starscream (F-22), but with realistic colours?

As stated before I know nothing when it comes to this sort of thing so is it possible to get a quality finish with this?

Again I would appreciate your help and advice.

im sure its possable to reshell a mp starscream but i doubt you would find many that would want to shell out for the parts to make such a bot, im guessing if nothing went wrong you'd be looking at $300, thats without a commision fee
i dunno if you have a mp starscream but after owning one for a few weeks i wouldnt change a thing now

I don't currently own an MP Starscream but was considering getting one...I would just prefer it if he was an F-22 rather than the F-15!

What kind of parts would I be looking to buy if someone were to be able to make a good quality one?
...I can get the MP Starscream & the F-22, but I don't know what else would be required?!
Also when looking at MP-size TF's, what scale models would I be looking for? (Planes, Cars, Bikes, Etc.)

[piranacon]

well you'd probably want more then one model jet to do the reshell as parts often get damaged, cut wrong or the gaps are too big,

i think mp prime is about 1.32 and starscream is about 1.60

to me Jaf seems to be the master of the re shell, he has a follow along project on this site for his alternator jaf but he makes it look alot easyer then it is
