MIG
Oktober Guard
A fighter pilot for the Oktober Guard, which was about
the only "major military specialty" they seemed to lack other than an arctic
trooper. Character created by Thomas Wheeler.
(Personal note: I scrounged the parts for Mig while looking in my "parts
box" for the necessary components for Schrage. Digging through all that
plastic can cause one's mind to wander, and I started thinking about an
Oktober Guard fighter pilot. The upper body is the 1986 Low-Light, and
the legs are from Lift-Ticket. The only real modification, other than repainting,
was resculpting the knee-pads to look like the shoulder and elbow padding's
pattern, and adding the sculpted star to the nicely large belt buckle.
The head is from a 1993 Star Brigade Duke with the eyebrows shaved off,
which somehow makes him look less like Duke, more Soviet <whatever
that means>, and not especially pleasant. Probably someone who takes his
plane up, gets the job done, goes home, and gets left alone by his own
personal choice. I did Mig at the same time I was working on Schrage, I
guess to have someone relatively easy to work on. Original characters are
always easier than matching existing appearances.) |
