Removable helmets are great, but sometimes just 'the illusion' of a removeable helmet is pretty cool....

No, he is Sparrowhawk from the SAS Para attack set. Cool custom by the way!

Some of your guys have two helmets Paul!!! Did they grow up near a nuclear power plant? Or were their parents related?

LOL @ SteveD

Excellent work, Tycondrius! Forgive paul, he gets grumpy if he doesn't have a powernap around noon. BFTB is for all things Action Force, extending to Action Man, GI Joe and all other associations.

All this modern stuff is just fit for the bin in my [rather extreme, possibly] view....



CLANGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!! (the sound of SteveD binning some of his current projects as they are based on modern figures)

I think this SAS pilot is very nice!

I think you have done a nice, subtle job and brought out the 'vintage' in it, if that makes any sense?

So... great work! And I mean that as a sincere compliment!

:doc: :doc: :doc:
RUSTLE RUSTLE - the sound of SteveD regretting his moment of compliance with Pauls extreme view and this fishing his projects back out of the bin....

I personally am not a fan of sculpts on many modern figures, but enjoy the idea of making modern tributes to our old favourites, and this as close to a 25th Version of the SAS Pilot as we are ever likely to see unless Hasbro do onethemselves to go with :blades:
