My repaint of the Beast Hunter Starscream in his G1 colors.

That's a very nice paint job. Love the drybrushed silver paint.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but for some reason he reminds me more of Swoop than G1 Starscream. It's probably all that silver and gold. That gold "appendage" on his groin looks more like a beak than a canopy. This, of course, is the fault of the design itself, and there isn't much you can do about it.

Maybe if you added some blue and red stripes on his wings, it'll look more like Starscream. Just a suggestion.

Either way, that's an awesome repaint in terms of skill.

Yeah I see that too. Why would I take that the wrong way?

I've seen some really defensive customizers who take offense to even the slightest criticism of their work. Remember that guy with the DOTM Megatron repaint?

Not that I'm saying you're like him--just being cautious is all.

I bet you could rig a FOC Insecticon head on there, clip the buggy bits, and have yourself a Prime Swoop! But he works very well as Starscream too. An Airealbot even! Lets just call him a jack of all trades, nice work indeed!

Swoop was the first thing i thought when i saw this. Good job though.

He looks really cool and that is some outstanding paintwork!
