So being a bit of a seekers fan and my favourite colour being green, I always liked Acid Storm even though he was a very minor minor minor character.

I finally decided to branch out from simply being a collector and try my hand at a bit of painting. So I decided I wanted to add Acid Storm to my G1 seeker collection. Here is my progress:

First to assemble all the parts



He is made from a variety of seekers; Starscream (Wings, horizontal tail fins, missiles and on missile launcher tip), Skywarp (Canope and missile launchers), Thundercracker (Vertical tail fins) and Ramjet (Body, hands and landing gear).

It was actually quite fun stripping them down and seeing how intricate the pieces are.

After pulling everything apart and giving them all a good clean it came time to prime the pieces. I used Tamiya Spray Primer.



This was trial by error as I was not really sure what I was doing haha. After this I used a Tamiya Green Spray and just did what I did with the primer. In no time I had everything ready to assemble.



Now was the test to see whether I could actually put it back together!



And apparently I could! But it was missing something....





Stickers!

I haven't been game enough to transform him yet but all the joints move rather smoothly so it shouldn't be a problem. I did notice that some of the paint came off a little as it was reassembled but nothing really noticeable.

Anyways this was my first attempt and surely not to be my last. It took a good month to do but that was more my busy real life stopping me from actually completing it.

Now to figure out my next one, perhaps the blue rainmaker
