Blimey Chopper you don't make it easy for me mate. I think I will give it a go but got to balance it with the 2 vehicles customs I am doing. The space force custom is totally original and will look great, just struggling for parts.

A futuristic Pommy soldier, I guess;



One of my favourite uniforms. Righto, I'm off to play dressups.

loved them @ the time, but looking back the oversized gloves & boots do seem a tad ridiculous........

I have a cunning plan, Humby.... thanks for the inspiration, mate Time to go thru the spares box.

I never use the gloves, it gets in the way of his shooting fun.

Hi Humby,
How about making a basic Actionman Soldier?

I always think that this uniforms's a much over looked gem...

I do want to do this and have started I but I am having a bit of difficulty matching up the base colour for the trousers.

[Thundershot]

I "chickened out" a bit on my own take on a basic soldier, just swapping the head onto a body, painting the beret black....I think a sand colour base for the trousers would work O.K, it's a sort of gold/green base colour on the originals isn't it?, with black,red& dark green splodges..a strange camo, I don't know if the Actionman pattern was based on any "real" camo' pattern.

Yeah I went for a Humbrol stone colour which is a sandy sort of colour but was'nt quite sure I was happy with it. I have also noticed that there seems to have been 2 variants of these trousers. The pair I have are sandyish but have noticed there is a light green variant as well.

The earlier (non EE) Basic figure had green trousers. He looked better too, IMHO. But yup, the Basic chap is pretty cool on his own.
