    I neutered his crown so that it fits for transformation. He still needs a cape, his sceptre painted and the holes drilled throughout his body, but otherwise he’s done.

    Definitely! I got a bit impatient and made a head, but I’m also waiting on a crown for the original SS head which might work better still

    Fantastic stuff! This looks amazing! Now you just need to drill a ton of holes in your pretty new custom

    Thanks all!

    I’m pretty stoked on how he’s turning out. I’m glad I found a reason to pick up this mold, it’s a great toy, just not a fit in my collection as a Starscream.

    I have a mini power drill ready when I get back at it in a few hours, so hopefully he’ll be complete by tonight

    Looks great! Cape and damage also came out great.
    I have a few suggestions but if your happy with it, no need to change anything.
    Give it a shot of Flat paint (remove the paint shine) and also add some tint/black (weathering) to the damaged areas. Possibly add some damage to the Head and windshield. Amazing how none of the shots hit either of those spots.
    How does it look in Alt mode?

    Thanks!

    I’ll revisit this later and might flatten the paint but I have to mention the holes aren’t gun shot wounds. It’s self flagellation. He drilled holes into himself to atone for creating the process to make forged transformers that he believes caused them all to be criminals.

    the alt mode is unaltered from the base mold but I’ll post some pics in here later

    Sorry, my bad. I commented thinking it was battle damage without checking the character details.
    Thanks for the corrections.
