I took a stab at this

I know it's been done to death, but I thought I'd try repainting Classics Starscream into Sunstorm. I also made a new un-named seeker. Hope the pictures are clear enough.

great take!! Some close up shots perhaps?

The grey seeker could be named AshFire? AshStorm? Good work!!

Maybe this will help. Once you're there, click on the image to see the original sized pic.

Edit: And thanks for the name suggestions. I thought of Ash...something myself. Great minds think alike :P I also considered "Static..something-or-other" as well. You may see why when you see the full sized pics.

First thing that comes to mind: White Noise.

That paint pattern is quite impressive, how exactly did you accomplish it?

I like the name suggestion. How did I do it? Simple. Originally, the greyish areas were painted solid black. Then, I waited until it was dry and lightly sprayed on some white paint from about 2-3 feet away to give it the ashy/static appearance.

Very nice! Especially with the powder coated texture! Those seekers can be tricky!

Awsome. I think Whitenoise should stick. I was thinking Snowblind till I read that post.

The more I think about it, the more I like it. Kudos to Shadowstream for naming my new seeker, Whitenoise!
