Hi guys, Here is my first attempt a customising a toy. Inspired by Shadow Panther's work I made some small modifications to my Hasbro's Masterpiece Thundercraker to better match MP-11SW Skywarp. It's not perfect, especially the tail fins (damn masking), but I'm overall satisfied with the results. Added details to the guns Added details to the feet Painted the short shorts and the side skirts Repainted the whole chest and jet intakes in silver Painted the leg vents in silver Painted the shoulder plates in silver to match the other seekers (shoulder stalks) Painted the neck of the cockpit silver Removed the Reflector, tail fins and cockpit tampos Reduced the length of the engine deco which extended too far Painted the wing navigation lights red and added the little yellow stripe on the wing tips.
Very nice, just make sure you post some some pics of the normal thundercracker next to pic of your custom one just helps to make your custom figure stand out more since people can quickly see the difference. Keep up the good work
Thanks mate, good advice. I didn't think about that since IMO everybody knew what he looks unmodded. Thanks
Of course, it was Testors Gloss Dark Blue #1111. It's a bit too dark, but I liked it that way. A little white would probably have given the righ shade, but like I said it's my first attempt at cutomizing.
Definitely! I ended up keeping the shouder stripes as I thought they made him standout a little bit more and also match a bit more with Skywarp who also has shoulder stripes.
