Hey guys, I finished my custom G1 Skywarp Skystriker a few weeks ago and finally got around to sharing him with you. I decided on a more nostalgic Sunbow Cartoon-style look, (like my earlier Thundercracker) with brighter purple accents and a translucent yellow canopy instead of the dull G1 toy version.
The main body is spraypainted with Krylon Fusion for Plastic in black, and I made the canopy yellow by dyeing it with Golden Yellow Rit dye in boiling water (be careful, the canopy can warp [*no pun intended*] easily so watch it carefully). The CobraStickers set for this guy is fantastic and really gives him that perfect finished look. Hope you enjoy. Yo Joe!

Nice job, was going to do this as well, but then i remembered how much I prefer the seekers as F-15s.. Starscream will be the only one in my collection like this (plus there is just no room fo all of these)...I'll leave the seekers in Takaras cabale hands (especially since they fully transform lol)
Cool paint and sticker apps though.

All three of those are simply fantastic. The canopies really complete them in spectacular fashion. Great job!

Thanks guys!
Sure, I used 2 coats of Krylon Fusion (for plastic) for Thundercracker, I believe the color was "bright blue"(?) but I'm not 100% sure. Pretty easy to do and the texture isn't too glossy either, nice smooth factory-looking coat for both him and Skywarp.

What color is that for the purple on Skywarp? What is so awesome! I need to go ahead and get this done when I get free time.
