Hi,

First time I've seen them and they look great!!

Just wondering what make of paint you use for the figures? I have some customs that I'm trying to put together from various parts.

Thanks
Nick

The last but one. Breaker only ever appeared in Desert Strike unless anyone knows of background appearance in any other story. In, what is for me the definitive Z Force comicstrip, he is Skip's shadow for most of the story except for a brief op with Tracker.

I tried hatless heads, but this one with a fixed peaked cap looked better. The body is deliberately bulkier, which I think reflects the Italian veteran "who has served in most NATO armies". Although he came with a SMG, I have given him a 'Lupara' in the first picture. It's the colloqual name for a shotgun in Scilliy (sawn-off in this case), which suits his background. I also chose the legs for the same reason - they have a pistol shotgun holstered rather than the traditional automatic that most have. the backpack radio has a hole drilled in it to accommodate the original Action Force headset (which I cut off an old radio), but it can be easily removed so as not to hang around when he doesn't need it.

hmmm, looking at Doc, though, I'm not sure about the hat. I think the fleece earflaps would be better in white. They look a bit like raw meat to me.

Many thanks for all the happy comments. Last one is just drying now. What I really need to do is take a good look through all the back posts that I have missed for the last year and see what everyone else has been up to.

PS Baron, Is it possible to change my logo thing from Q Force to Z Force?
