Backpack: Slice of Crimson Shadow Guard BP + Cobra Piranha rockets (modified)
Wings: Voltar '88 condor wings (modified)


TRU Scrap Iron's head was heavily sanded down and then modified with Greenstuff to make the helmet, eyebrows and beard. It was quite a challenge to get the small parts in place without squeezing them too much. It was also difficult to make the eyes not look like a Spiderman too much.

The chest was pretty weird. I took Raptor's torso and positioned it backwards. So his back became his front. I did this because the back has this nice feather structure and I knew I couldn't create that look from Greenstuff myself. All I did was add Greenstuff in the hole where the back screw is. I sanded the original front and that became his back. Put a thin layer of Greenstuff on it and pressed a spare Raptor torso-back into it to get some texture. I also used Greenstuff to make the "harness" lines.

I sanded off a few details from Croc Master's waist, added some green stuff and tried to create some texture to make it look hairy.
The legs were almost perfect. I needed legs with bare feet and some hairy texture if possible. Movie Edition Blanka did it. I had to sand down the pants and the cuffs around his ankles, and filled the weird open parts in the upper legs. I don't mind the position of the legs, they actually fit the MOTU look pretty good.

The wings were cut from two Voltar condors. I did have problems positioning them. The original MOTU Stratos has them positioned in a little aerodynamic way, but with a few feathers pointing forwards (if he has his arms along his body. I was unable to create that part with the condor wings, but I tried to make them look as aerodynamic as possible (in flying mode, so with his armes pointing forward).

For the backpack I first went through my rocket bin looking for matching rocket heads and fins. Turned out the Piranha rockets had both. Cut off the back part and a small part in between and there they were! I didn't just want to glue the rockets to the "harness" so I took a Crimson Shadow Guard backpack and sawed a slice off of it. Glued the rockets to that slice and glued the slice to the "harness". So no peg in his back.
