thanks Steve for posting the pic for me.

hello all, i've been inspired by some of the other custom figures i've seen on this site and others, so i've created a new character/figure to boost the thin Q FORCE ranks. i've tried to be original but if any one finds anything similar it is purely down to my inexperience/rookie status when it comes to this field.

the donor figures were
HEAD: AQUA TROOPER
BODY: AQUA TROOPER
ARMS: SONAR OFFICER
LEGS: SONAR OFFICER
HELMET: SPACE PILOT
WEAPON: SPACE FORCE WEAPONS PACK

The idea was to keep the figure looking similar to SONAR OFFICER with colour changes to uniform. i toyed with a bare head but the blue flash hood keeps the Q FORCE theme going. the gun from the SPACE FORCE weapon pack looks like a pump action shotgun, ideal for boarding enemy ships and clearing the decks. the helmet is my favourite bit, its just so ACTION FORCE, i think it finishes him off. i'm working on a full colour data file for him. the details i have are as follows........

CODENAME--BROADSIDE
PERSONAL NAME--DAVID HASTINGS
PRIMARY MILITARY
SPECIALITY--NAVAL GUNNERY
SECONDARY MILITARY
SPECIALITY--COMBAT BOARDING PARTY
ACTION FORCE
NUMBER--332201
BIRTHPLACE--DOVER,ENGLAND

Joined the Royal Navy from school and served on LEANDER and AMAZON class Frigates. Saw active service in the Falklands campaign and was decorated for saving comrades lives from burning decks during air attacks in SAN CARLOS WATER. transferred to Action Force at the request of Q FORCE command when BARON IRONBLOOD commissioned the Missile Cruiser LAZERN. An expert in leading boarding parties onto Enemy held ships.

i have almost completed an SAS FORCE RADIO OPERATOR, SAS SNIPER, SAS COMPANY COMMANDER and a Z FORCE ASSAULT PIONEER.
