Stuka Red Shadows Pilot/Designer

Post by toynutz »

Hey guys, decided to delurk and start posting some of my customs here. First up is a guy I made for the JoeCustoms sites Group Project: Special Weapons Force. The main purpose of the GP was to expand the newly found SWF. I added a little twist to my group of figures by adding in a Red Shadow soldier.

File Name: Hans Diedrich
Specialty: Experimental Aircraft Design

Stuka started out working with the Action Force Special Weapons Force helping to design and perfect personal aircraft platforms. After several of his designs were rejected and deemed too dangerous. Hans grew enraged and left Action Force and sought out Baron Ironblood and the Red Shadows. The Baron was more then willing to let Hans design and fly anything he wanted as long as he used it on Action Force.

Stuka enjoys strapping into his Jet Pack and divebombing Action Force encampments raining cannon fire and rockets on the troopers. Stunka is always on the look out for Boffin, the man he feels sabatoged his career and designs.

Stuka started out as a Special Weapons Force member, but I decided to turn him into a Red Shadow soldier and an ex SWF member. I started him before the Club revealed their Red Torches using the same torso. After their reveal I was thinking of swapping it out but instead changed his colors around.

I named him Stuka after the WWII German divebomber. I envision him strapped in the jetpack and diving down on Action Force troopers. Also the name is kinda cool

Hi mate and welcome. Saw this a few months back and really liked it. Do you have more AF customs?
When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?

May I suggest though Toynutz you change his name to Stuka it has more of an aviation ring to it.

Yeah, I totally misspelled that. It is supposed to be Stuka, I do not know why I went and added a n into it. Blam it on living in Arkansas for far too long!

I will be adding in a few more Action Force customs that I have been throwing together. Waiting on my Tri-Gate order to come in so I can start on the Red Shadows!
