That's brill Andy. I like the silver visor, reminds me of the some of the Hasbro figures I like. Gyro Viper, Strato Viper etc. Great stuff as always!

Cheers Shaun, i was concerned it would look a bit too CobraCommanderish, but fortunatley it still has a Shadowy feel to it.

I just felt I needed to do something different with the head for a Space Shad.

Nice job Andy, looks the part and there is an acute shortage of space guys, SF or Shads. Well done.

I have half a dozen shadows minus the heads can find spare heads anywhere. I bought a batch awhile back of headless black major, headless Baron and half a dozen headless shadows and a few krackens. Any help appreciated

Ooh, lovely stuff Andy! Very nice and a perfect foil for the Space Force.

Perhaps a little black and white eyeslit? Maybe?

I like it! Excellent use of the head! Did you use a RAH one? How was the fit?

Excellent figure!

Don't forget the tubes to attach the lasers to the backpack.

Thanks for all the comments !

SteveD - I did use the RAH head and it fit perfectly with no modification neccessary !!

Paul - I ummed and aahhed over wether or not to paint some eyeslits, obviously I opted for a silver visor in the end ........ but you have got me thinking again now !
