Hey guys, I just finished my custom G1 Thundercracker Skystriker a few days ago and thought I'd share him with you. I decided on a more nostalgic Sunbow Cartoon-style look with a brighter blue coat of paint, a translucent yellow canopy (and a bit of drybrushing here and there) instead of the more Navy G1 toy version.
The main body is spraypainted with Krylon Fusion for Plastic in bright blue, and I made the canopy yellow by dyeing it with Golden Yellow Rit dye in boiling water (be careful, the canopy can warp easily so watch it carefully). The CobraStickers set for this guy is fantastic and really gives him that perfect finished look. Can't wait to do Skywarp next! Hope you enjoy. Yo Joe! P.S. I couldn't resist having Perceptor make a cameo! Last edited by Air-tight; 09-30-2013 at 10:53 AM.. |

Good job Airtight. I wouldn't mind trying something like this, but I am not sure how to safely pull newer style figures and vehicles apart.

Yup, yup, you. FP!
The decals and paint look so good. I think it looks better than the Starscream.

Wow, looks awesome and way better than the Starscream. Thundercracker was always my favorite Seeker. I love that blue..

really cool, the color is perfect and I like the way you changed the cockpits to fit different figures. where'd you get your stickers?
