Sounds like a grand day out, thanks for sharing.

Was the :qforce: Sealion designer the guy who did this stuff?

Is this from the Action Man documentary that was completed some time ago and held back seemingly for legal reasons? Seem to remember it was the brainchild of former :marine: who now lives in Western Oz. Trailer used to be online here but lost in crash.

That is the Action Man documentary you're thinking of. He's had copyright clearance from Hasbro to sell the film. I can't remember whether Tony was a Marine or in the SAS. Here's a link to the official website, though the link to but doesn't seem to work:

I think those vehicles may have been sketched by the external agency Raffa & Pape (think that's the name), who were given Brian Turner's original Sealion concept to style in to what became the production model.

Klasse! Many thanks Red Baron.

Found the old thread ... in bad shape but just about intact.
