Blood for the Baron!

you'll be safe i only want a coulple no more than that.

Eds, there's all good advice here in this thread, but VAM is big old world!

I've said before, you may only want 3 or 4, but the likelihood of sticking to that is slim no matter how strong you feel atm.

I originally wanted 6. I had a little space on some shelves, so I bought 6 VAM's that were larger versions of Series 1 AF figures. I wanted no more.

9 months later and I had 80/90?, so many that I don't really know.

Once you get a few, you will almost certainly want more.

Buying-wise, I completely agree with Paul463. Buy some 40th from Modellors Loft or Lucy Quipment on ebay. You'll be paying fair prices and the stuff will be mint.

There's a tonne of old VAM on ebay and some of it is very well played with and knackered. VAM is cloth-based and wears away/baubles/stinks. 40th will avoid all that whether you buy it loose or moc....

Also, buy Volume 3 of Modellor's Loft's AM guide. It's all eagle-eyed stuff that you grew up with as a kid and will really help you decide what you want:

do you have any spare material from the af curtains? you could make a nice am suit...

I started off by buying one Actionman to wear the one uniform that had survived my childhood (R.A.F. fighter pilot)..

Thanks for the advice Paul you may have swung the descision,

Kraken I'm afraid the curtains have made several pairs of pants a pair of daps and a very nice hat.

How big are these curtains, are we talking "Dad sized" pants here?
