For some reason this project just struck me one day. It had crossed my mind months ago, but I never messed with it. However, more recently, I couldn't resist. I initially intended to make the entire team, but the vast majority of them are quite expensive. So, I opted for just the leader if no one else. Good news, though, I did recently pick up the whole team, so as long as no sellers screw me over or anything, I should be able to finish them up no problem. Also couldn't resist posing him with Ken the Eagle since Gatchaman was a primary inspiration for Power Rangers in the first place.
The process was rather agonizing, but here we go. First things first, had to go through the tedious back and forth process of painting those diamonds. After that, I painted up the weapons and dremeled the head to fit. The last bit took the longest. I cut the morpher off the Ranger body (totally destroyed that thing) and proceeded to cut, sand, and dremel until I got it down to the appropriate size, then I glued it to the belt. The white paint came out a bit rough on him, but I'm taking on an excessive number of white projects to help better my application. Recipe: Body - MU Captain America Head, sword, blaster - MMPR Red Ranger

Used a Cap body for him. Sculpted up the boots and gauntlets and belt. The head, however, comes from the Microman Gatchaman figure. Got the head and accessories both from that. It can be hard to find, but it pops up on EBay a lot averaging around $50 Buy It Now. Sometimes you can luck into it cheaper.

Looks nice...after you make the other Rangers, make some Space Aliens to battle(not just the main ones like Lord Zedd). Data Viper could be the base for one of them named Silo from the Zeo series.

They are most certainly planned. I got the parts in, so now I just need to get more holsters. Probably be knocking them out one by one for a little while. Planning on seeing if I can even try the Green Ranger. White is extremely expensive right now.
