Head: Indiana Jones- German Solider
Alternate/helmeted head: ??? (starwarsgeek cast)
Torso, upper arms: 25A Cobra Commander
Lower arms: 25A Python Soldier/Officer
Legs: NS Cannonball
Character:
Skyraider was the commanding officer of Action Force's Space Force, release by Palitoy in the early 80's.
Design:
A mix of 25A and NS parts, plus an Indiana Jones head, take the simple Palitoy design and busy it up just a bit. The alternate head lets Skyraider step into space when needed.
Colors & Paints:
Based on the Palitoy figure, adapted to the uniform design of the Cobra Commander short jacket and the Barrel Roll flight suit legs. The biggest difference is that the white is used an accent color instead of on the sleeves. This helps create the appearance that Skyraider is wearing some kind of space flight suit. I also used a darker orange than the pure orange I used for my Moondancer custom, to fit better with the pewter grey of the vest and chaps.
Sculpting & Modifying:
The head is cast by starwarsgeek, but I'm not sure what figure it's from.
The diaper crotch was trimmed down to let the legs move better, and the tops of the legs were thinned down to match the leg sockets.
The thigh screw insets were epoxied smooth.

Thanks for looking.
