Sure, this is the new ranking system:

000-099 Posts :space: Space Force
100-199 Posts :qforce: Q Force
200-299 Posts :zforce: Z Force
200-399 Posts :sas: SAS Force
400-499 Posts :af: Action Force
500-599 Posts :cobra: Cobra
600-000 Posts :enemy: Red Shadow

Or I can make you a personalised rank, with the emoticon and slogan of your choice.

If you've missed the last year, you won't have seen any of the BFTB Colouring Project: http://bloodforthebaron.com/phpbb2/viewforum.php?f=29

AFOnline went down so I have hosted it here: http://www.bloodforthebaron.com/afonline/home.html

And in February I posted a load of my customs:

I'd love your opinion, man.

The DDP Petition is in my sig.

We have lots of new members, and we've lost a lot of old ones. It's been a strange year but a good one nonetheless.

It's great to have you back, man, seriously. Hey, do you have a SAS Wolverine sticker sheet you could scan, please?

Will do Baron. I think I saw a couple just before I went quiet, so I'll be interested to see the rest. I'll also PM you about my rank.

While I'm doing that, here is the final addition to the Z Force New Sculpt. I deliberately left him last as I have a special attachment to him. Back in the day, when I sent my application to join Action Force, he was the codename which came back. So without further ado, here he is as he was in 1983 (a bit playworn now!).....

TRACKER 1983

Or was it? Due to misnumbering on the original cardbacks with the Infantryman, there was quiet a bit of confusion. BAF's filecard for him had pictures of the Infantryman sculpt, and this was how he was portrayed in Codename Tracker.

Image

But for me, obviously the definitive portrayal of him has to be in Desert Strike......

Image

And so I present perhaps a rather controversial new sculpt.........

How do you so it, Jimbo? These rule!

May I suggest a red Z on the upper arms for each fig?

I wouldn't bet my collection on that though look at it this way the person I had most contact with Urban Saboteur left to do his own forum he posted 2 blogs on their archive the actual administrator Lohengrin doesn't seem to have much presence at all compared to yourself on here.

Fantastic work there.

Absolutely superb, all of them.

I dont suppose youd share that green colour would you?
