Any more "Andy's originals" Zargonite troops or Space Rangers in the works?

I may do a few more Troopers when I get my hands on a few more space patrollers.
I also think they need some sort of Spaceship ..... something piratey ? no idea what yet tho ....

There is loads of Action Man stuff I would like to bring down to Action Force size, but most of the stuff I want to create is not as easy as I would like it to be !

what about a roboskull with a pirate mast on top!

Perhaps not a cheap option ! It would be nice to use a Roboskull but the end result would have to be something drastically different.
I love the idea of a Pirate ship floating about in space plundering hapless Space force cadets whilst out shopping for their space groceries..... not really practical tho ?

isnt there a Sci Fi movie with a sailing ship in space ? or am i imagining that ?

Sort of like that sailing/space ship from Star Fleet?
Cpt Zargon with a robotic parrot, & a space pirate with a peg leg & hook for a hand..

Wow ! a robo parrot ! similar to BUBO from "Clash of the titans" thats just crazy enough to work !


The Sailing ship im thinking of had solar panels for sails i think ? its doing my head in trying to think what film it was ....

cant remember the name of it but there is a kids show with space pirtates and they get people like mcfly to come on and have a sing off against the resident space rat cover artists...

then there is the doctor who story enlightenment which is old ships in space... then there loads of things... more doctor who...

maybe a pirates of the carribean pirate ship converted...

Try this link Andy..

Or it could be this one?

I like the idea of a Black Pearl conversion TKW, possibly that crossed with the ship at the start of Thundershots link ?

It needs to look Piratey and shippy at the same time, the solar panels are a must and a large skull will be incorporated somewhere ? possibly as the figurehead of the ship. I need to make this happen some time in the near future !

How about using the guns from the rear end of the Rebel Transport? They always looked very harpoon/sailing ship like to me as a kid...

Oh,Oh you've gotta have a plank ..& a crows nest...& a barrel of space rum!

OK these are great ideas but I need to keep it looking spacey ! not sure if I could get away with an open top deck ?

If I incorporate a plank it would have to be airlocked somehow as would the crows nest ?

having said that I dont want to end up making this look shiney and new, I would prefer something derelict looking .... almost like the Flying Dutchman ...... in Space !

Lots of rust?
Gunshot holes in the soler panels? maybe the crows nest could have a "glass bubble" type cover?
If the pirates are warering space suites, you could get away with an open deck..
