Ideas please

Post by humby248 »

Really giving away the subject of a custom I have on the go but I'm really struggling with the figure for it. I'm after ideas of what figure or figures parts I could use to make a custom Clint Eastwood Firefox pilot. It does'nt have to look like him and any type of Joe figure apart from is fine. I did think of one of these in the link below but its proving hard to track one down without it being really expensive:

Here's Clint:

Ace version 2 or 3 may work! You'd still have to source a helmet but he's in basic flight gear, could be painted black with the white details?

Thanks guys. I did think about Ace and he is the fall back. I have a scrap Sci Fi V2 that I could use but I don't know what to use for a helmet.

How about the Cobra Motor Viper's helmet?
It might look the part.

I think Airwave's helmet painted black and silver would be spot on.

Motor viper helmet is a possibility. Unless I can find one of those Gi Joe astronauts cheap I may go that way.
