nice work mate! would love to see a pic in a more natural light, as you say the flash has rather over exposed the shot.

Yeah it is a AT AT Commanders head Paul. It was always one of my favourite figures and felt he would cross over nicely. The Jeep is one of the Combat force stuff. Its not Chap Mei or Lanard is about as specific as I can be although they do crop up on ebay.

Looks very good, that jeep reminds me of the one from "The Living Day Lights",you know the one, Bond uses it to escape from the back of that Herc' when its about to run out of fuel & crash into the desert?
Red Saracen does look like a jeep driver with the goggles.
More news, as its made, from new Action Force!

Yeah Thundershot it definetley had that feel to it. I had the spare wheel from another vehicle and the gun and roll cage were also spares. I was going to use it to go with my Hungarian figure as a Warsaw Pact theme. I thought that if we had the Marine and Para why not have the Warsaw Pact forces as well. I may still do this. As I said on another post I think the Enemy :enemy: would use Eastern Bloc stuff.
I have done another pic without the flash which shows I need some decal paper symbols but happy with satin paint and varnish as I think it finishes it off nicely.

used Quickfire's bio, but i had to remove the bit about the Iran-Iraq War so the quote fit on the end...

Andy I used the original AT AT Commanders legs as well, Black Majors torso and Sonar officers arms. I used putty to build the extra webbing on him.
