Head and legs: Buck Rogers Kane
Chest, arms, and waist: Buck Rogers Draco


Design:

The Sunbow Daina and Stormavik are radically different from the Marvel versions, so I see them as Daina II and Stormavik II, with the Oktober Guard recycling the codenames for new members. I had planned on using 25A+ parts to make Stormavik II and round out my set with one ARAH, one NS, and one 25A+ figure. Instead, I stumbled across the Buck Rogers Draco figure and noticed how it had all of the elements of the character's jacket... wide sleeve openings, a sash at the waist, a raised collar with no buttons. It was too perfect not to use. So, I changed gears and used it instead, adding in the legs and head of Kane, also from the Buck Rogers line.

As for the creation and inclusion of the wolf-dog Pitchfork, I stuck to my plan of having a 25A+ figure in the set. Only now it happens to be an animal figure.

Colors & Paint:

Stormavik's colors are taken from the Sunbow cartoon and dirtied up a bit. The necklace was on the Draco figure, so I decided to paint it instead of removing it. I originally made a bandolier, but it clashed too much with the necklaces, so I didn't use it.

Pitchfork is painted to roughly match the color patterning of an Australian Border Collie- a rust colored fur for the body with white areas around the face, paws, and belly. I chose the paint scheme because it doesn't look like the grey/black Hasbro has already used on the Timber 25A mold.

Sculpting and Modifying:

I ground down the upper portion of the head and then added the fur hat.

Thanks for looking.
