Wow Soapy! Those truly are excellent! You've been busy. Particular favourites of mine are Quarrel, the Silent Attack, and of course, Hawk and Blades.

Have you done a few different Quarrels and Beavers (insert innuendo here.............................)? The Quarrel shooting and then the one doing her hair?

Excellent work though Soapy - as always, and thanks for sharing it.

What are the plans for once the original AF range is finished? Series 1? Cobra era? Or do we have to wait and see?

Sorry - my mistake - just realised that it's the front camera shot that makes it look like Quarrel is doing her hair! Doh! Def a couple of Beavers in there though?

When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?

Yep Beaver and Stakeout both got 'in the boat' and 'on the land' versions. Eventually there will be an infantry version of Stalker and maybe even Blades. Quarrel will arrive in an infantry version too.

Glad you all like the models, they've been great fun to work on. Next years plans include finishing up the 20 odd remaining Shadows and thirty or so Z Force infantry so that I can get on with a bit of gaming. I've also got a few Jacobite rebellion figures on the go so that I can play out a few scenarios based on 'Operation Claymore'. The biggest single project though will be a Roboskull in 1:56 scale which will involve a fair bit of modelling from me and a cheeky request going in to my chum at the architectural model makers for some laser cut perspex panels for the wings.

The Z Force base is in the planning stage along with all of the remaining vehicles and weapon systems (baring pacrats) for :zforce: :sas: and :enemy: . I may even venture beneath the waves and beyond the skies with a bit of q force and space force action.

Despite the anniversary year drawing to a close I've had so much fun doing the models that I think I'll just carry on going, I may even venture into the murky world of Joes Vs Cobra, you never know.

Stay lucky,
Soaps.
