Falcon, and an updated Rock 'n' Roll:
design notes:
- Falcon was made using Don Johnson's face. As much as I hated how he was portrayed in the 1987 animated film, Don Johnson's is now the definitve Falcon voice (way better than the whiny teen voice they used in the DiC cartoons).
- So far, I've been using the ACU camouflage pattern as an updated subsititute for the olive and forest greens of the original Army figures. So how to make Falcon stand out from his be-camouflaged brethren? I ended up using Multicam patterned BDUs as an update to his tiger-stripe look. The Multicam pattern was the runner-up in the competition to choose a new multi-purpose camourflage pattern for the Army and it's still in limited use by SOCOM personnel (who can choose to wear Multicam or any other commercial-off-the-shelf camo over the Army standard ACUs). It's not necessarily "worse" than the ACU, in fact, it rated better than the ACU in woodland and grassland environments but Army brass went with the less saturated ACU because it fit the immediate needs of the Army, what with its large contingent committed to operations in the Middle East.
As always, the filecards can be accessed by clicking on link below in my signature.
