It's taken me months to get this guy done. mostly out of wanting to get him perfect and laziness. Mostly laziness. I love this guy. Enjoy!



PS: if anyone has a Classics Skywarp and Ramjet they'd like to get rid of cheap PM me. I'd like to make another one of these that's a bit easier to play with. Thanks!

Update:
added the damned faction symbols. I knew I'd forget them.

 

man, this is awesome! what kind of paint did you use? it looks like a factory finish.

 

i want it now, in my mailbox. then in my hands!!! nice job!!!

 

I used Krylon Fusion black, Rustoleaum Grape, Testors acryl purple, Testors acryl teal, Testors Model Masters silver and lastly Testors acryl black for touch up.

mmmm.... so tempting to sell but I dunno if I can do it  

Thanks for the comments guys and btw, I realized a short time ago I forgot to put the faction labels on. Just image a small silver con label on the nosecone and two more a bit larger on the wings. I'll retake some pics later.

 

very nice job! very professional looking man. i always wondered what those colors would be like on that mold.

 

damn thats awesome. Hasbro if your watching. make that.

NAOW!

 

Fantastic work. I love the colors you used. Sounds like your process is similar to mine.

 

Very cool. No light/sound box?  

 

Finally some G2 love. great work.

 

I love seeker repaints and this one looks fantastic. I like seeing different ones other than the G1's...you selling it?  

 

Thanks for all the comments guys!

I'll trade it for Classics/Henkei Skywarp and Ramjet or enough cash to gain the two on the secondary market. So basically, I'll sell it but only for enough cash to replace it with another that's more play friendly.  

 

man, like I said in the Cool Stuff thread, the paint job is excellent, great job. I love the way you decorated the jet mode. Just top-notch all-around.  

 

I'm one of the few people who actually *liked* a lot of the G2 colorschemes, so seeing one of these guys brings a smile to my face! Great job!

 

i would love to see this repaint in the mass market.  

 

Looks fantastic. I'd love if Hasbro would release something like this, I would buy it in a heartbeat. Great job!

 

thanks for sharing! i can't believe that finish came out of a spray can. i've been trying to paint my MAME cabinet and i just can't seem to get smooth,flat finishes with spray paint   but glad you got it to look great!

 

Spraying larger objects is a bit more difficult but it's not impossible to get a good finish. Just keep that can the recommended distance while spraying and make your coats thin and even. Do a little sanding a few coats in if it looks like it's coming out uneven.

 

looks excellent, love thosecolours compared with g1. it also reminds me a bit of darkwing.

PS, glad to see some classic stuff making it through 'movie season' lol

 

I mentioned in the cool stuff thread, but in case you didn't see it, this looks great!

I once saw a digibash of Classics G2 Ramjet that really turned me off the color scheme, but yours totally works.

 

Thanks, man. I really wanted this to evoke the original toy but fit in with the "Classics" look/update. I'm very happy with the results achieved. The only thing I don't like about what I've done here are the purple shoulder bits showing on the side of the jet. When i do my second/playable version I'll be leaving those bits black. Since this piece is the back of the shoulder it will allow me have have the black there on the altmode and I can keep the front and side shoulder parts purple keeping the look of the botmode I already have.
