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

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

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

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? :.

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.
