Wanted - custom parts and some advice

G'day all. Thanks to Paul I have some spare Palitoy bits and pieces that are really getting me going for custom ideas. I was planning to keep quiet and then show my ideas, but I'm short a few bits and some advice on how to proceed.

I've cracked open 3 figures and started playing musical limbs.

My idea's are so far, SAS guy with full battle gear, grey beret and Bergen. Need a Black SLR (or maybe a bullpup type rifle - thoughts?) and pack (Black Pailtoy type) for him. This guy was well documented by BAF but never made. A real shame.

Z Force forward fire observer. He is essentially a laser targeting dude for air strikes and artillery. I need a green AF type helmet with visor holes (maybe black? Ripcord or Mutt v2?), black Z radio and not sure about weaponry there yet. I'm thinking a MP5K? Any advice would be good. Possibly a pair of Breaker arms as well. I have straight arms on him atm but maybe bendy style would be better?

Z Force ATC gunner. Need a Wheels or Z Trooper head for him. no weapon or acc's needed for him as he sits in the crows nest all day, shooting shads. A Lee Enfield would be cool tho ;) Maybe his codename could be Shad slotter?

Lastly, I'll do a ATC driver. Gotta start from scratch with him. I'm using Breaker bodies as a base, and he doesn't sit to well in an ATC. I was also thinking of a Z artilleryman for my FLAK or whirlwinds etc and possibly a Shad Pilot ;) . Later for those guys tho.

So in summary what I need is a Black pack, Black SLR, Black radio, green (or black?) helmet with holes and a Z trooper head.

Extras (not real important) needed are Breaker head, Skip head, MP5K and spare torso's.

I'll take any condition, and a cash reward is offered too. Any idea's and advice will also be gratefully received.

Cheers

I may have some bits too - radio backpack etc. Will have to check the bits box.

I know what you mean Chopper - I was looking at my custom fodder this morning and raring to get started on my 2009 SteveD "Shad Infantry Tribute Corp" (or "S.H.I.T Corp" for short) up and running, but until I get a desk it's still a dream!

So frustrating!!!!

:baron2: "We shall return"
:laser: :laser:

If anyone has a poor condition Cobra Commander head or two they can spare, drop me a line (one is to be repainted as Red Laser, so doesn't matter if he's scratched up, the other is to be hollowed out for a helmet).

Similarly any spare Baron masks?

I should have some good new trade bits and pieces soon.

:fixer: :lightning: :sniper: :bombardier: :boffin: "And then work on us should begin too"

Cheers Steve. That'd be great. I think I'll paint this guys beret tan. Go for true SAS colours. Or maybe... or .... sh*t, too many choices.

I was busy playing musical heads and a fraking body just broke on me. First lesson, Palitoy AF figures are BRITTLE. Thank heavens for hot glue and clean breaks. :evil:

Ever heard of the Super Hydraulic Instantaneous Transport or the Super Luxurious Omnidirectional Whatchamajigger Steve?

That head would be great, also a torso that can sit would be good too. Thanks Andy. I'll PM when I get back from my Holiday (yes, Stormie, Muton, The Baron and a Hyena are coming ;) ).

Just a quick bump. I've been busy, thanks to Andy1672 and Paul ;) I need some heads, 2x Skip (or British Marine/2 Para), and 2x Phones (or maybe Barracuda?). But I definitely need 1 red one. Could possibly use a plain Breaker head too.

Also still need a Black SLR and green (or black?) helmet with holes. Oh, so close........ Lotsa red paint everywhere.

Cheers

Mark

If they aren't already dismembered it could be a problem. Remember I can't unMOC anything Steve ;) Also don't tear them apart on my account, I'd never be able to sleep at night...

Remember Toy Story....... dododododododododoooo
