*EDIT JUNE 26*
New pics below at the bottom. Ok, so this looks nothing like the vintage one, but I don't paint and I don't like cracking torso's unless I really have to. I may still do that if I get an extra Skystriker Ace, but for now, here is my modernized Ghostrider. I had the extra Heavy Metal and thought that it would be cool to make him into Ghostrider cause of the jacket. I felt the vintage one really needed the flight suit and since the Ace ones fit the color of the Heavy Metal body perfectly, I thought why not. If he ever gets shot down over the jungle, then the green flight suit under the jacket would be much better than having the grey pants and shirt. His helmet is the modernized one. One day, I may go and paint the top clear portion silver as right now, the only silver I have as a homage to the vintage one is his pistol. Also, I'm deciding on a head to use as the Hawk one is just a place holder, but then again, it doesn't look bad and I might not change anything at all. Hope you like it but keep in mind, this isn't meant to be a remake of the vintage one but just an update with more modern helmet and also giving him a flight suit. Just for fun, I tucked the scarf underneath his holster to see how it looks.

Actually, that's what I'm planning. Can someone direct me to the best type of paint for this softer rubbery material that the helmet is made out of? In the past, I've painted rubbery helmets only to find the paint never dries.

Here's some new pics. Shipwreck painted a helmet for me so now it's more a homage to the original with the silver trim on the helmet.

I like everything except the body color should be grey not green.
