Think some people were looking for the chap mei helicopter that baron transformed into an SAS troop / vehicle carrier?

They have them in the new Argos catalogue, 25 quid though :-( It comes with a load of dinosaurs which has pushed the price up a bit but still quite steep...

I keep uhming and ahing between getting one of these, picked up the ROC truck I cant rememeber the name of yesterday (jackhammer lookalike)! It looks very nice and not as out of place among original stuff as I thought...

To quote Eddie, if I didn't have the painting skills of a 4 year old I'd love to get my hands on the Steel Crusher and Dreadnok the shite out of it :P

Nice work by the way TKW, makes me wish I bought the few Chap Mei vehicles I saw at the carboot the other week :( hah

I find it more suitable as the Jackhammer itself rather than a 'Nok vehicle, since, after all, VENOM is supossed to be part of :cobra: now (even though no VENOM figure has appeared as part of :cobra: , Trakker's filecard states this) and it woulkd be good to see more MASK and VENOM charas and vehicles as part of the Joe stuff.

Im thinking of giving mine to my post ironblood shadows, since ironblood scapered with the money they dont have a great deal for specilist vehicles apart from the few that were left so they have to make do and customise...
