I thought i was finished with classics seekers but i just coudnt resist.
I changed the colour scheme a little,using black instead of grey & a different camo pattern.
Acidstorm was painted with Games workshop Acrylics (mainly Dark angels green & Graveyard earth)
I painted a green G1 seeker about 5 years ago,so i went back & added a few spots of camo to him to give me a G1 Acidstorm too.
Alt mode pics will be up as soon as he`s dry.

Id totally buy that over the Hasbro version

Nicely done! And you beat Hasbro to the punch.

Looks very nice, but where's the jet mode?

Cheers guys.
Heres the jet mode.

Nice. It's probably just me...but I'm getting an Autobot vibe from him. Weird. Still excellent custom. I can't wait for the real Acid Storm.

Wow, he is beautiful. He certainly resembles the Classics toy we'll eventually be getting, but yours has a much better paint job. Great work Spurt!

Now that is a nice redeco!

Games workshop acrylics you say?
Splendid.

Did you take him apart and clean the pieces first? How does the paint hold up? Does it rub or scratch during transformation?


I love your work man.

Thanks alot.
Yep i take them apart so i have more manageable "chunks" & wash in warm soapy water.
I also always file/sand down any tight joints to minimise any rubbing.
Overall the paints hold up pretty good as long as you varnish them.
I use a coat of spray gloss varnish (for protection) followed 24hrs later by a coat of spray satin varnish (to take some of the shine off the gloss).
