Just looked over all the previous posts:

I love Sapper- and I agree that story is more definitive for me.

Not only are your customs top notch, that Engineering briefing is a fantastic picture.

Great work

I dont really feel qualified to say this, as your customs are way beyond mine,
but I agree about Scout.
I just dont feel that torso is the right one.

IMHO, this one would be a better option:

perhaps with a Marauder John claymore in place of the spare mags..

Absolutely superb, all of them.

I dont suppose youd share that green colour would you?
Humbrol Enamel Satin 131.

Thanks for the kind words. The more I look at Scout, the more I'm not happy with him. I've had a look at the body you suggested, but I need to look at a new head I think. Thankfully, the first thing I have to do is re-read Jungle Terror and Assault on Atoll Z to get a flavour for the character! Once I've got a few ideas, I'll put them up for discussion.

If youre not bothered about a removable helmet, Id say Dodger is the ideal head sculpt:

Ideally you may need to dremel/sand some of the extra detail off the helmet, but since I first saw Dodger (waaay back in the early '90s) Ive thought he looks like Scout

Great Job!!!!

Hi Jimbo I am quite new to this forum and I have to say I am very impressed with your collection and your customising! How do you do it? I mean I would love to get hold of some of the things you have done. I like what you have done with the previously straight figures and made them bendy (is that the right phrase?) particullay wheels etc. I also like your z force transporter truck how did you get hold of one of them???

Well done - wish I had your tallent thats for sure - Us mere mortals have to settle for what we can find on ebay

:flash:
