    So did you just spray it straight on the toy, or did you have to lay down a primer first? From the photos, it looks like a nice smooth finish
    On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!

    Two coats of primer first after a thorough cleaning of each piece followed by two coats of the paint and a coat of clear lacquer.

    I agree the finish is awesome! The red used and little bits white made me really wonder what a G1 Seeker in G1 (toy) Jetfire colours would look like..

    As for your next project, is it the purple seeker?

    When I did Acidstorm I was really surprised at just how well the detail on the panels, especially the wings, still shows even after so many coats.

    Purple seeker... what makes you say that?

    Edit: You saw my FB post about what I am working on didn't you... haha sneaky.
