Repaints & Minor Mods Custom MP-11 Skywarp

[bishop]

Since I could not wait for a new Skywarp MP-11, I gave it a shot. I was largely inspired by some of the awesome Skywarp MP-11 customs online.

It's my first project, so please thanks in advance for your understanding!

Looks great what did you use?
I may have to do the same

[bishop]

Thanks a lot!

The base figure was Hasbro Sunstorm, disassembled part by part and repainted. I used Tamiya spray paint Mica silver, metallic black and purple. For detalling, mainly to repaint the head, I used acrylic black.

Learned a lot on spray painting from tamiya website and gundam modelling youtube videos... and Layman's gunpla website for spray paint matching. Great ressource to check before hitting the hobby shop.

Now, I just need to find some reprolabels for the final touch...

Cool, I just started the same project this weekend with Thundercracker. Did you have any trouble getting at the screws on the fuselage and lower legs?

Looks really good

Jet mode please

[bishop]

Of course! Jet mode:


Regarding lower legs, I had a lot of trouble removing the leg small compartments. I used a little bit of acetone and a small screwdriver to push away. The key idea is to push carefully from the center of the leg towards the outside. That being said, I did not disassemble the wing... I tried but I was afraid of breaking the wing.

I like it but the wings need something IMO

Just need to order the repolabls for skywarp and it will look perfect.
