Blood for the Baron!

Space Ranger for sure.

Blimey Chopper you don't make it easy for me mate. I think I will give it a go but got to balance it with the 2 vehicles customs I am doing. The space force custom is totally original and will look great, just struggling for parts.

One of my favourite uniforms. Righto, I'm off to play dressups.

loved them @ the time, but looking back the oversized gloves & boots do seem a tad ridiculous........

I have a cunning plan, Humby.... thanks for the inspiration, mate Time to go thru the spares box.

I never use the gloves, it gets in the way of his shooting fun.

Hi Humby,
How about making a basic Actionman Soldier? I always think that this uniforms's a much over looked gem...

I do want to do this and have started I but I am having a bit of difficulty matching up the base colour for the trousers.

I "chickened out" a bit on my own take on a basic soldier, just swapping the head onto a body, painting the beret black....I think a sand colour base for the trousers would work O.K, it's a sort of gold/green base colour on the originals isn't it?, with black,red& dark green splodges..a strange camo, I don't know if the Actionman pattern was based on any "real" camo' pattern.

Yeah I went for a Humbrol stone colour which is a sandy sort of colour but was'nt quite sure I was happy with it. I have also noticed that there seems to have been 2 variants of these trousers. The pair I have are sandyish but have noticed there is a light green variant as well.

The earlier (non EE) Basic figure had green trousers. He looked better too, IMHO. But yup, the Basic chap is pretty cool on his own.

didnt one of the Pauls already make this custom???
