Cybertron Starscream G1 War Within style

[Unicron-9]

Remember the maroon and black Toys R Us exclusive Starscream?
Well I sold my huge Cybertron SS and got this one for super cheap to repaint for my personal display.
I plugged the ugly screw holes and gave him a full body repaint in all metallics.
The theme is G1 Cybertronian or War Within.

He's actually even prettier in person. Very shiny!

Awesome ! I always prefered this version of SS, and i'l glad you paid homage to his G1 color scheme ! Looks great ! :D

his alt mode somewhat reminds me of an ultraman spaceship though :D

Very nice! Love the shiny paint apps on this mold--makes it look so much better than the original (and I have that sucker--it was one dull hunk of plastic in its original colors).

Thanks guys. I might be getting hooked on these colored metallics. I'm going to do an Energon Bulkhead soon. I'd planned on him being black and chrome with some blue accents. Maybe I'll put more metallic blue in though. I'm also considering turning him into Alpha Trion but AT's colors are kind of fruity. I'd make whirl but someone already did that great with that figure. If I had metallic green Id use that and gold to make Springer.
I don't know...

What type of metallic paints do you use, if you don't mind me asking?

Not at all. Testors chrome and Krylon. I used something called Krylon Xmetals on this Starscream with my fingers crossed. Came out good though so I went looking for more colors today but no luck.

Thanks for the tips--I checked out the Xmetals stuff a while back, but didn't pick any up. Just wasn't sure how it would work on these suckers. Again, the colors look great, man (and the apps are smooth).
