Update - 01/9/2011 - Hand painted all tattoos and now Jetmode is complete.

Please forgive my lack of a more appropriate background, had to set up WFC OP this time on it and it was still too late anyway. Also, I had to adjust the contrast setting a bit to get his tattoos to show up so Starscream appears a little darker than he actually is, I hate camera flash but had to use it to get these tats to show up. His bot mode pics as shown are true of his actual colors.

* Used a better picture set up and better lighting (really just a white daylight bulb) for 'bot' mode and now you can see his true gray tones which are actually lighter then the first 2 pics. *

Again, a big appreciation goes out to Mechafacture's custom LDR Starscream as I often used his as a guide to paint this one  







-- Eyes still light up.

 

Damn man. Looking awesome!

 

awesome!

 

Thanks for commenting man, much appreciated! Lot of work into this one, my hands hurt  

Thanks!

 

It's not an ez task but u executed beautifully well done my friend

man, I hope I can get third good with an air brush soon.. I ned to practice more, but this is looking better and better!

 

as usual i am super jealous of your painting skills

this is turning out awesome

 

i like this dude..very fun figure to paint

 

Thanks bro!

Thanks, prolly just the lighting. I didn't use my normal set up for these pics.

Just keep practicing man, you'll definitely get better the more you use your brush  

  I hope I can still impress you with the tattoo work!

Hey SP! Thanks for the comment man! It's a really complex figure to paint too and I don't see myself doing another one for a good long time  

 

thats the fun part, the complexity, yet really no paint rub issues or sanding or filing down stuff..leader class is fun i enjoy them. its a platform to show your true capability..but it is time consuming if thats what you mean. deluxe is my pain in the A.

 

Exactly! I couldn't agree with you more man  

 

You hit it right!!! Good job bro!

 

Thanks man!! Very awesome to get feedback from you bro!
