Uhh hang on...
There are really only two possibilities: Either there is life in the universe more intelligent than us, or we are the most intelligent form of life in the universe. Either way, it's a pretty worrying thought!

You wouldn't have to put Steeler in it, it comes with its own driver: Heavy Metal, who would also look pretty cool in Z-Force colours.

Repainting a Heavy Metal that comes with his microphone? Hmmmmm, you really don't have a clue how much that figure is worth, do you? Sell Heavy Metal and you can buy an entire squad of Steelers!

Holey moley: does this presage an AF revival or wot?

Where'd this vision of AF-perfection come from? AF-heaven?

Well there has been a bit of a break since my last post, but I've found a little time and a little paint and wanted to get my 'new sculpt' Z Force figures finished. They're all done now, so I will get the photos posted this week. I've another Z Force vehicle that I've found, then I might move onto some ideas I have for Q Force.

Enjoy................

:zforce: :zforce: :doc: :zforce: :zforce:

Here's how he looked in 1984, although it took me over 20 years to get one!

And here he is now in 2007 getting the wounded Shrapnel onto a stretcher....

Never was a great fan of Duke, but since he lost his fight with the lawnmower, he has made a couple of appearances as a casualty in my dioramas - poor Duke.

I never liked the helmet on Doc. It looked great on Scout but, I always think to myself that Palitoy suddenly found the 'helmet head' mold in the bottom of a drawer in 1984 and went mad on the second wave of Z Force. The cold weather hat from Big Ben fits in with his 2MS of Arctic Warfare and the face looks just right for the oldest man in Action Force.

:zforce: 's not dead baby, :zforce:'s not dead.
