    Phantom Rider

    In the 1870s a Comanche shaman, seeing a falling meteor, took this to be a sign from the heavens, and on hearing a voice followed its directions, collecting all the glowing dust he could from the meteor, saving the dust for when a champion would be sent to him, and naming himself "Flaming Star." Later, when Carter Slade, a schoolteacher, was gunned down by a band of men working for a frontier land baron, Slade was brought to Flaming Star, who believed that Slade was the champion that the voice had promised him. Star nursed Slade back to health and gave him the phosphorescent dust, a cloak covered in the dust, and a wild, untamed horse. Slade himself believed that he'd been saved from death by God for a purpose, and decided to use Star's gifts to become a masked gunfighter who would frighten evildoers and appear to be a supernatural being. So Slade tamed the horse, calling him Banshee, and made a costume that made use of the cloak and the glowing dust, so that he appeared to be a literal phantom--hence his name, the "Phantom Rider."

A hideous creature of enormous size and alien power, it waits for it's time to return patiently. For it has all the time in the world while it waits for the stars.

    Very Nice likeness, especially if the fabric looks as luminous in person as the pic. Carter would be very proud.

      Yeah, the fabric does look like it's shining, perfect for the Phantom Rider.

                      Nailed him! He looks great Paul - and you're welcome for the idea. Although I think as creative as you are...you would have come with it on your own

                          Perfection! Tight custom there my friend I plan on making one of these myself in the near future. You should buy yourself a Breyer Horse for him to ride on, it would only make your Ghost Rider that much cooler.
