I'm liking how the Action Force leaflets are displayed centrepiece on their shelf! Also spotted a red HISS sporting some CobraStickers shad logos too.

Who's that red Major Bludd in the Terrordrome, silverc?

Yes, I made a pseudo-Hyena style red HISS tank with some Red Shadows stickers from CS. If they would get a set of actual Hyena stickers out soon, I would put those on instead.

The red Major Bludd is just a no-named repaint I did of an extra figure I had lying around. I guess he should have a name... I think nothing is better than Major Blood, given his red motif.

And I certainly don't mind some thread hijacking, as long as it involves obscenely large jugs that only science could create. Thank god for silicone, right? I remember those auctions a while back too.... with advertising like that, how could you forget? I guess it explains the 3 new pages of posts in here since I last checked the thread. Nothing generates a spirited discussion like well-built female anatomy.

As some sicko once said eddie every hole is a goal. Does that include ears and noses? Actually I don't want to think about it.

I think you are referring to the seller on ebay The.Black.Major. That is not me.... he sells "custom" v1 style cobra troopers in various styles, but they are really high quality bootlegs, not painted customs. I have a bunch of them (and just ordered some more). He is selling a bunch of different styles, but told me recently that he is going to be switching over to v1 style Crimson Guards in a variety of styles. So once the troopers have all been sold there will be no more made.

I have sold hand-painted 25th customs on ebay, but so far no vintage style figures.

So here are a few new customs I just finished.

Red Shadows Attack Helicopter. Repainted from an extra 2000 Locust I had sitting around. The Red Shadows Diver (repainted Torpedo) and Hyena Driver next to the helicopter are also customs.

Image

I had a picture of this one before with the other photos on page 1, but I got the rest of the stickers in from Cobra Stickers, so it's finished now. The Urban Operations Cobra Gunship:

Image

And to keep the bad guys in check, a SAS Hawk Mk 2, complete with SAS Weapon transport.

Image

Image

Both the Blades and the SAS Rock & Roll figures are customs too.

I also got in a few more bits of AF papers... a French magazine ad with the Baron:

Another AF Annual (1989), a Dutch 1991 catalog (far left), and the Dutch Dossier #1 (not pictured)
