F-Zero's Captain Falcon with Blue Falcon!

Jin Saotome · 09-13-2009, 06:05 PM

"The howl of powerful engines and the screeching of torn metal fills the air when Captain Falcon is in the cockpit. His vehicle the Blue Falcon is build for speed, durability, and dishing out punishment on the track. Out of his ship Captain Falcon is still a formidable adversary with his amazingly quick moves and devastating Falcon Punch!"

This figure was made from:

Head/body: Resolute Duke with modded Wild Bill helmet
Hands: Shipwreck
Arms: Cobra Commander w/sculpt
Upper legs: Resolute Cobra Trooper
Lower legs: Xamot w/sculpt
Belt: Cade Skywalker

Cap's ship the Blue Falcon was made primarily from a Joe SHARC Tooth. All fins were removed and both left & right engines were cut free, spun around, and moved against the fuselage. The flip-up cannons were then replaced with rocket boosters that fired backwards. Wing panels from an Energon Galvatron were added among various other fodder and styrene sheetint parts.

Thanks. I cut out the control panel so his feet could fit through and added a seat back from fodder parts.

Awesome as usual

Pretty cool, I like the idea of a custom character/vehicle duo. Your paint apps look really clean.

Very nice job.

The chin ain't right. To young or something. Maybe Red Star would've been a better choice.

Otherwise, great. I really like the Blue Falcon. Don't know why I never realised how similar it and the Sharc look.
