My Custom

I've been planning this for months. I've put this off for months. Finally I did it. Finally I've built my custom Seeker. Well, nearly built. I'm still waiting on a few things, but the hardest parts are done.

This custom finally came about thanks to my wife, actually. My wife has a furniture restoration business and volunteered to do the painting for me, which was great since I suck at painting. Sure, I can paint a room or a house, but I can't spray paint worth a damn. I just can't spray evenly.

Anyway, I decided to do this custom because I realized that I had a ton of seeker parts. I had like eight tailwind, six rudders, four or five launchers, two sets of wings and a Thundercracker body. Unfortunately, hardly anything matched so I couldn't just create another Thundercracker.

Once I started this, I realized that my Thundercracker body had broken where one of the feet connects. Quickly, I purchased a junker Starscream which proved beneficial as I wanted to use the blue nosecone.

Overall, I'm pretty stoked at how this guy came out. I still need to decal him and get his missiles and fists, but for now he's looking pretty good. Well, I need to come up with a name, too.
In the meantime, enjoy these pics of him in jet mode.
