Made from an oversized KO of a Cybertron Starscream mold. Fiddly little details. It took me ages to complete - mainly because I couldn't find the time to get to the hobby shop for more white paint!
The helmet fin is cut from a toothpaste tube. There's no room for the side antenna so I painted his earbumps yellow to evoke them.
No time for alt mode pics yet. Given it is a KO and I've painted the joints I fear the worst... will try after work tonight.

Cool. What paints are you using? They look like acrylics.

The blues and black are water-based. That's acrylic isn't it? Funnily enough I dont take much notice of the labels. :o

Actually, that's a pretty effective use of that mold - I can't think of a better Autobot use for it at all, well done yet again Snakey! :eek::cool:

Water based paints are usually acrylic. I've got a few of those ko Starscream legend figures myself. Used the head for a FoC custom they seem sturdy for cheap plastic.
