SAS Captain Skellen

Code Name: unknown
Personal Name: Buckingham: Skellen, Peter
Action Force Code Number: AF 26605
Primary Military Speciality: Covert Surveillance
Secondary Military Speciality: Commando Assault
Birthplace: Suffolk, England

Skellen showed incredible tenacity during the American Embassy siege in London, 1982. Infiltrating "The People's Lobby", he showed exactly the qualities needed in an SAS trooper and much more. As such he is held in high regard by the other squadron members who have no hesitation when going into battle with him.

"Skellen is a remarkable soldier, very few can match his level of determination, and even fewer his initiative."

OK its late, but here he is, Captain Peter Skellen, on the anniversary of the Iranian embassy siege too. We now have an AF movie ;) Many thanks to Bill, Andy and Paul for helping out with bits for this guy and the other guys to follow.

Sorry, but I had to strip "Boonie" to build this bloke and also pinch Skips SLR ( he's pissed). I will build another Boonie at some point, he was just too damned cool to waste.

I couldn't think of a codename for Skellen either so any ideas would be cool.

He really does look spot on. Like he's just come out of the Palitoy factory! Good work mate!

They're getting there Ross! I just have a desk full of unfinished ones so far! And lots of ideas. Hopefully have one or two of the experimental ones finished this week.

Although when I do go public you've got to be gentle - as I'm just starting out with customs, and hadn't held a paint brush (well, nothing smaller than a few inch [oooo-er]) in roughly 15 years!

If I told you that I'd have to kill you. And that would be very disappointing, as then (a) you'd not be around to be gentle and (b) we'd not get to see any more of your excellent customs! (looking forward to the one of your wife! The mind boggles! and you're a braver man than me "you've made my arse too big" "my nose isn't shaped like that" "that looks more like my sister". It's a can of worms mate! A can of worms...
