I had a look on the main site at the :space: customs section to get a few ideas as I'm struggling a bit with Space Force.

Found this cracking :space: HQ that I hadn't noticed before.

Who made this? I guess its a from a few years back.

It looks very well done and must be, at least party, inspired by the unreleased prototype :space: HQ.

Not really a fan of space force but that is very smart, looks like an official release

If you could take the time and trouble, you could use a damaged A.F cardboard base and use it as a base for building a new Space Base.
With the skills involved in making the cardbacks, whats to stop you printing new scenes to go onto the original pieces?
Quite a large project, but could turn out real nice in the end :)

Andy, that's a great - albeit a lot of hard work - idea!

If I had more money and more freetime [the dreaded end of the summer holidays is only 1 more week away! :( :( ] then I'd love to do it, or rather get it done.

I don't actually make any of the cardbacks, or the customs myself. I get them made for me by a star wars customiser friend. I'm no where near talented enough.

That little beauty was made by Steve, the creator of this site! Before BFTB there was Action Force Online, of which I inherited the forum and original toy archive, and before that was Spaceforce.org. I only have a handful of his pics, he also created a very cool Lunar Cruiser which was a Cosmic Cruiser with Shadowtrak wheels and a Satellite Defence gun mounted on the roof, and some Space marines using Patroller torsos and Engineer limbs. He's since moved on to pastures new, but I keep hoping he'll pop back some time.

Always loved that :space: prototype, have a clipping somewhere in the container bestowed by sentimental toymaster types upon the death of :AFLogo:, Steve's custom complete with :space: legion is cool too, very much in the :AFLogo: spirit.

Whatever went on on levels 59 and 27 of the original? That's what I want to know. Maybe :hawkwind: used them for his cosmological physics library.

Oi Eisenblut, any info at all on Steve? Surely he succumbed to fbk-muppery.

Last I heard he was very happy, moved in to a new palce and getting married. I did ask if he still wanted to be in on the Travelling Muton, to which he said yes, but I then heard nothing further.

Hmm. Alarmingly efficient of you Baron. Basically when we sort a time to shoot the scheiss with Meertoh we go kidnap him for that weekend.

You could probably use the AF HQ as a template and use 2mm Capper (caper never spell this correctly) as the material the hard bit would be getting the background stuff printed / designed.
