Thanks. I started with the name and began to imagine a figure around it. he went through a few transformations (he was initially going to be a paratrooper) before I settled on a final look.
Glad to hear you have been enjoying it, there are a few more figures to come. |

given the Red Devils are the Parachute Regt. parachute display team, he really ought to be a paratrooper. Swear to god, I will make about four paras if they ever do a parachute pack and an O2 bottle...

True, I should perhaps explain my statement, I initially wrote "just a paratrooper" then thought there is no such thing as "just a Para" so took the just out. I do still intend the character to be a paratrooper, both in terms of background and specialty. As someone who is used to attacking from the air I gave him the jetpack as another means of reaching his objective, which I probably wouldn't have done if parachute packs were easier to come by (although having added it I do think the jetpack looks cool)

Red Devil & Red Mist came out great! Love how you geared up Red Mist, you always come up with cool ideas on using the gear that I haven’t seen or tried before. The nunchucks and arrow heads look so decent attached like that.

Thanks. As an assassin I wanted him to have lots of silent weapons, so I lined them all up and buckaroo style tried to fit as many of them on him as I could (they didn't all make the cut). I initially had him holding the nunchucks with a knife running up the bandolier where they are now. I was trying some different weapons on the c-clips and tried them and liked the look so they ended up there. The arrowheads are actually the blade attachments that came with Retaliation Roadblock, not sure what they were meant to be exactly but I am using them as a kind of throwing knife (I initially had throwing stars there but did not like how they looked). I was going to use a bow as his primary weapon and rigged up a couple of ways of attaching the arrows down his leg, but decided this would be impractical in real life so passed on them.

Earlier on in this thread we discussed doing a figure of the Black Major before he was brainwashed into joining the Red Shadows, former Royal Marine and Action Force Officer John Shepherd. Due to a lack of parts I had to put that on hold but now that some more parts have started to arrive I finally got around to trying it.
Re-reading the Battle Action Force story for inspiration John Shepherd wore several outfits, most notably from the Action Force line the Royal Marine, Frogman and Arctic Assault. His Arctic Assault look is probably the one most people remember as that was what he was wearing when he betrayed his teammate and joined Baron Ironblood. Having made figures for each of those looks I did not want to just copy those builds with a new head, so I decided to come up with a new look inspired by the comic but not how he ever appeared. In the comic he always had dark rings below his eyes so I decided to try and replicate that (not sure how happy I am with how that came out). |

nice.
(although it used to annoy me when people called him Shepherd on BFTB because in the comic, they said it was a name to protect his innocent family members and not his real name. He sure as $h!t ain't 'Wilder Vaughn' to me though) |

Awesome work. Never knew the Black Major's name. I never had access to the comics.
