Moondancer + Sky Raider and Kiwi (March 9th UPDATE!)

[night force cynic]

The space suit design on this custom was inspired by the sculpt of an unproduced Star Brigade figure. This is MY take on Captain Tariq El Shafei, otherwise known as MOONDANCER of Space Force (the astro branch of Action Force).

His birthplace was the Middle East. While there might be plenty of Caucasian looking folks in that part of the world, I wanted my version of Moondancer to look distinct from the original Action Force figure and reflect his heritage.




Yes, the Space Force sigil patch was hand-painted


And yes, I wanted this custom of him to look very different from Short-Fuze

I've always loved Moondancer, so pleased to see him in custom form! Good work!

[jamarmiller]

this is really good!

[Malcolm Orr]

Brilliant custom. The redesign looks very spacey and the likelness has turned out just right, avoiding a stereotyped look for a realistic one

[Ross SC]

really nice, good job!

[SPEC OPS]

sweet, love the helmet- have you got a parts list?

would now be a good time to mention that making this Moondancer custom gave me a couple ideas on how to do two of the other members of Space Force?

thanks, man, it good to know the choice to use that head was appropriate. exactly what you mentioned was my goal.

sweet, love the helmet- have you got a parts list?

head- Galact Marine
torso, legs - Copperhead
arms - McQuarrie Snowtrooper
hands - General Hawk
collar - Commander Bly pauldron (heavily modified)
helmet -Bana Malar head cast

and a bunch of sculpting material

[Muton]

Very nice! What sculpting material do you use?

[Double-Tap]

NFC this is cool.
not a crit or anything but i think a splash of yellow on the chest would really make him stand out.
excellent work.
any tips on dismantling the 25th figs. i havent tried yet.
