In the early 80's, Palitoy released a line of 3.75 inch figures based on their popular Action Man line from the 70s. Although the line included several repainted GI Joe figures and vehicles (like the VAMP, Fang, Mobat, Steeler, Stalker and Snake Eyes to name a few), most of the characters were made from 5 POA figures. These were divided into several sub-teams like SAS (Special Ops) and Z-Force (Infantry).

The Infantryman was part of the Z-Force sub-line and was meant to be an army builder. For my version, I tried to stay as close as possible to the original. The trickiest part was figuring out the hood over the cap part. Fortunately, I'm very happy with the solution I came up with and the rest of the figure fell into place.
