Alt Skywarp!


Lobo

Recommended Posts

I always thought this would be a good mold for the seekers after I saw Viagra Prime's Starscream.  I liked VP's seeker so much I decided to do one of my own and looking at Ravage, I thought it would be perfect as Skywarp.  As a bonus, it help eliminate 2 shelf warmers in my area.  :thumb (Now if they'll just restock?)

 

Alt Ravage repainted into Skywarp.  I used Silverstreak's head and cut off the horns.  Painted all the red parts purple and added stripes.  Finished it all off with a semi-gloss clear coat.

 

Hope you enjoy!

 

First up, bot mode:

I don't remember anyone doing a digibash of this and with the search function FUBARed I couldn't find anything.  So if there was, let me know so proper credit can be given.

Thanks VP!  I thought the chest turned out pretty well.  All I did was paint the back side of the glass orange.  The whole paint job is very G1ish.  I haven't been able to determine if that's a bad thing or not on this board. :tflaugh

 

Here's a closeup the the head with a little different camera work.  I love the Silverstreak head mold.  It's so evil!

Sweet as always man!  I am working on the whole gang of seekers as Imprezas myself.  I am getting ready to start on my Skywarp here in a few days.  I finished Thrust the other day (for the most part); I hope to have pictures soon.  :D

The technique you used for the chest is very good, but there is something wrong with the color to me. I don't know if it needs to be a bit lighter? or perhaps more of a gold color? not sure.

 

Overall VERY good job. Am I correct that you had some problems with the stripes in alt mode?

 

The purple on the hands and cannons looks GREAT! Have you tried folding the doors up at an angle to create an even MORE wing like silhoutte? I'm not sure if it would work, but I THINK it would look pretty cool.

Thanks for bringing to light my crappy paint job,  Guld! :tflaugh

 

j/k Your right, I did have some problems with the stripes.  On the hood, I originally only painted on the purple stripe.  Silver base with Grape Pearl.  Used scotch tape and it came out great.  But then I decided I didn't like it with just the purple on black, so I added the silver borders.  I used scotch tape again and everything turned out looking good.  But....When I went to take the tape off, it managed to take the whole stripe with it.  :tfmad  Just the purple, not the silver base. I ended up using scotch tape for the outside of the silver and a masking tape with little adhesive for the purple.  Hence the not so clean look on the purple stripe.  It's funny because the scotch tape never lifted the silver, only the purple.  And yes, they fully dried before I taped them off.  It just different paint.

 

But the front and back stripes line up in Alt mode and that's what I was really worried about.  I display in Bot mode anyway, so you never really see them. 

 

Thanks for the compliments everyone!
