Once I decided to include the AWE Striker in our Night Force II project, it needed a driver. Crankcase is a no-brainer, but I never cared for the character, so I was not inspired to make a custom of him. I looked at other Joe Drivers including Night Fox and Clutch, but settled on Skidmark, renamed Skids for this project.

Skidmark is a character that every Joe fan knows, mostly because of his name. I have had a Skidmark build in my WIP pile for a while now, but never got around to painting him. Then, the Club released their version that is very vintage-accurate. I update my work-in-progress version with ROC Snake Eyes legs to match the Club's and gave him a Night Force inspired color scheme. I kept the legs black to avoid paint scraping when placing him in the driver's seat.
