Series one Action Man / Force Training tower custom ......

[Andy1672]

This has been a troublesome custom, Ive had some scale issues which I cant seem to get around whilst keeping the model in proportion to the original.

This is scratch built and was originally 1/4 of the original Action Man size,
however when scaled down it was just too small so I had to compromise the scale to keep it looking proportional, so it is now just less than 1/2 the original size.

So this is as good as it gets, as I cant be arsed trying again !

The scramble net at the back of the tower is temporary until I can find a better one.

Based on the original Action Man Training tower ......

The framework is jigsawed out of MDF with some embellishments so as not to look too flat, the top part is made from various offcuts of pine with an MDF box section.

The rope ladder is made from a strip of pine edging I had spare, cut into small lengths, drilled and then lots of knots !

[SPEC OPS]

that's great, I had the AM tower as a kid!

that rope ladder must have taken forever and a day!!! (how about using the rope ladders that come with the world peacekeeper tower, or several of them?)
