Cool job, can't wait to see the MP. I used that head for 2 customs, painting the cap badge made a bit of difference I think.

:oops: Thanks for all the nice comments guys..
Paul,I'd love to get my hands on the Actionman U.N. peace keeper like that, & give him the 58 pattern webbing from the Para set..just like the Palitoy concept artwork for that uniform,why it was never sold as a full set & just a basic "Internationals" uniform I don't know..
More news, as its made, from new Action Force!

I don't think I've seen that concept T-Shot.

Any chance you post a pic?

I can highly reccommend this book for any body who's interested in Actionmen..it's not a dry ref' book a fun look back @ the toy line history.

Aahh, yes, I remember now.

I never noticed the pouches and belt on it before...

Yes, that book is good, there are threads on here where we've discussed it somewhere....

The introduction is by Bob Brechin would was head of Palitoy designing for a while and heavilly involved in the whole Action Force range.

IndyDave is his adopted son.... :doc:

Thanks for the pic T-shot.
