-------------------------------

After finding and learning to fly a stolen experimental prototype rocket pack in 1938 Los Angeles, stunt pilot Cliff Secord had a run in with nazi spy Neville Sinclair (the famous movie star) and his SA backup. Although the original rocket pack was destroyed in the final confrontation with the nazis, the escalation of the war lead its creator Howard Hughes to build a new and improved version, with some help from Cliff's mechanic Peevy. After some failed tests with military pilots, the US Army discretely enlisted Cliff to reprise his role as the Rocketeer in service of his country.

The figure is based on PulpWar35's resin Rocket Ace, which was a kickstarter add-on to the Captain Shadow body. While not an exact match, the general vibe is close enough and differences can be explained away by this being an updated version of the Rocketeer in military service.

I'm not quite as satisfied with this paintjob as I was with the Lobster Johnson and Crimson Nun characters, but it should look good on the table (when I ever get around to building it).

Some war propaganda to inspire the people

You're a long way from home, American. How do we know you're not a German spy?

This might be a good time to take to the sky

"They keep on coming. I fear this is it, Comrade Rocketeer." - "Call me Cliff and keep shooting, I have a plan... of sorts."
