Coats are vital to normal operations, landing craft breeze in and out. As for approval, it is easier to ask for forgiveness. Now that should take about 10 years I reckon.

I wish I had T shots steady hand and eye.

We could play, wheres Chopper, but that would be too easy. As there were landing pads I decided to add Blades and his Hawks as well as the AF S1 base and custom Hercules. Oh, and a couple of Joe ring ins for good measure. But that, my lads, is 100% complete Z Force. Tomorrow night, SAS force. Stay tuned.

Great stuff! That must have been a pretty hefty parcel to get across to you. Is one of the CCs the one I gave to Steve forever ago?

Hefty all right, it had 1.5 CC's in it, a HAWK, MMS, Attack Cannon and a couple of other little bits. Incidentally the HAWK is perfect, just needs missiles, as was the Attack Cannon.

It was indeed your one, Krackers. Many, many thanks to you and Steve for this, mate. Between it and the spare bits this one is in 100% perfect nick bar one cracked bar. I'll have a crack at completing the other for AF, but, as I already have the Z one it won't be a high priority.

Awesome!! There Endeth Operation Base to Chopper!!

Tis a tangled yarn of a tale involving suitcases being emptied out in Jury's Inn car parks in Southampton , boxes stashed under stairs for years in dusty lawyers offices in Yorkshire, senior partners walking in on a desk full of action force being packed, enormous boxes,even enormouser boxes when it became apparent the enormous box wasn't enormous enough, exorbitant postage costs, angry wives ("you're sending THAT to Australia???"), cargo planes, even angrier Aussie wives (in guessing?), but most of all - happy collectors and z force completion!!!

It looks freaking awesome mate!! Nice set up!!!

Cheers Steve. If I could count the pints I owe you...... I'll drink em for you anyway. ;-) The Wife just had that here we go again look on her face. Well and truly desensitised.

I just checked the BFTB profiles, this has been 13 years in the making. Now, Series 2 is Complete, Series 3 is Complete and Series 1 is 99%. Right now I'm on the hunt for that last elusive piece. And a morris dancer Phones in the interests of getting the variants sorted, appeasing Hopper and SteveD. All other major Palitoy variants I have.

I should also thank Lady Jay, Rene, Paul463, Shaunboy, Hopper, Squad Leader, Meertoh, Graham, Jon, Jimbo, Lewis, AFS, Wolfie, Ed and Eddie as well as the MIA Airedevon, Tintin, Paulitoy, Andy1672, Scoob, Jonesy and the venerable Baron. All of which contributed heavily to my addiction and possible impending divorce. Mission accomplished, chaps. As for Series 1, Steve got me onto that bent, it was never my intention to collect them. But they are bloody cool for the VAM collecting fraternity.

Blood for the baron.

A great sight Chopper!

So what are the remaining bits that you need?

Cheers Jon. A few small insignificant vehicle bits, 2 brown S1 hooks, AF5 and morris dancing phones (who coined that phrase, anyway?). Probably time to sort my wants list out and get hunting in earnest, now that the CC is sorted. I feel somewhat inspired.

I may have at least one spare Brown Hook. I've also got some spare Hawk missiles if you need them?

Yes please, Jon. That'd be awesome. I reckon the brown hooks are the rarest of all figure accessories, they never seem to come up.
