Blame this one on Kilcarr --
he got the stupid idea in my head of painting up a Skystriker (a plane I had no interest in buying) like Jetfire.So I'm trying for this G1 look:
And so far, I'm getting about as close as I care to:
I decided to make the red on the wings wider than just pinstripes so they'd fit better with the actual sculpt of the wing. Same with the other slight variations - I adjusted to make them fit in with the different details on the Skystriker mold.
Still waiting on some decals from Cobrastickers, and I'll apply some of the actual Skystriker stickers once the sealant dries a little more. It needs a slight touch-up here and there where the paint masking bled a little and I want to paint a few details, but I'm pretty much done with the major work.
Then all that's left to do is figure out how to make it look like this:
Trying to figure out the best way to work the "jetpack" thingies. I'm thinking that if I get a couple of space-looking cheap plastic squirt guns and mod them heavily and paint them red, it should work well enough, but I haven't found anything yet that really works.
Anyone have any ideas on an easy way to build the jetpack?
