Masterpiece Mid-Warp Skywarp
Posted: Wed May 25, 2011 4:26 pmOne of my more popular customs is Mid-Warp Skywarp. I get many requests for that custom, this one was an order for a Masterpiece Grade version.
I started with a (expensive) Masterpiece Ghost of Starscream figure. Most of the figure is cast in clear plastic, so I got lucky. The parts which weren't were cleverly painted over, to either appear clear or act as "visible" Skywarp parts. Because the clear plastic Takara used wasn't as clear as I'd prefer, I buffed, sanded and polished it making it shiny and clear... like glass.
Mid-Warp Skywarp also utilizes my easy tail fin modification. His "warping" effects were created using about 6 shades of blue; from navy all the way up to pure white. Skywarp also has an alternate face (flips to "warp mode" sneer) or traditional Decepticon red optics.
His base includes a very bright LED which aimed up illuminates all of Skywarps tasty clear parts.
Skywarp was originally a commission, however - due to circumstances beyond the client's control, the order was cancelled and... he's teleporting himself to ebay.
