I've been contemplating on doing this for quite a bit (after seeing previous customs done by others) but was kinda hesitant due to the price I'd paid for my Sky Striker then (plus shipping to Australia)...
Anyhow, back to my mind's universe... Datstro presents his latest captured prey... Decepticon SKYWARP!!! Utilising his unique boombox Soundblaster (another captured Decepticon in disguise), Datstro gets Soundblaster to project a specific soundwave that shrouds any Transformers within the vicinty into "stasis-lock"... incapable of transforming or moving on their own accord, these Transformers then become ripe for the picking! Datstro then provides these "unique" vehicles with alien technology to COBRA for a juicy price (much to Destro's disdain)... unbeknownst to Cobra Commander, his purchase would come "alive" later! I had tremendous fun doing this custom and it took me a week to complete. The decals are primarily from the Sky Striker toy as I wanted to retain the originality of this toy having the GI Joe/COBRA feel... the only other decals used is the obvious Decepticon faction stickers. All else is painted such as the stripes on the main and rear wings as well as the silver "robot" bits around the jet intake. As with all my customs, I kept it clean and simple to keep this looking as toy-like as possible. I do hope you enjoy this as it's now my favorite custom. Thanks for looking |

Looks very smooth & seamless, well done !
My only critique is the flash in the pics, try setting up some lights near(not pointing at) your subject and turn the camera flash off. Experiment a little and you'll be amazed at how much better your customs will be presented.

All my photos are taken using my mobile phone (Samsung). Yeah, badly need to invest in a proper camera and lighting... When I do get one, I'll redo the shots... It is rather fun setting it up. |
