Mini Z Force Troop Carrier

As usual, the one custom idea morphs into another. A flame thrower weilding death machine
turned into a mini troop carrier.
Just an SAS panther from a previous trade with the boot removed, seemed fitting to bung some troops in the back and actually have a :zforce: jeep to tow the Whirlwind.
See if you can spot the scouring pad :)

Nice idea and very well executed I must say. What green have you used here for Z-Force? I have an old Panther I might just do the same with.

Thank you, its a mix of 3 greens.
Not at home at the moment, but I can find out the paint numbers a bit later.
Had to go with the brush , ran out of green spray.
The Humbrol Brunswick spray green is a nice one to go with though.

Thanks Scooby - want to do some Z-Force customs. Would be helpful to know the paint numbers for panting figures.

There is a dedicated thread to the best colours for the different forces.
With :zforce: though I tend to mix it up with a couple only because I like the camouflage effect
instead of the plain green or black and green.

Cheers Andy :)
Thought they deserved a bit of carpet in the rear for a little comfort.
Was toying with the idea of wrapping a few bits around the roll bars , just for the chunky camo effect.
Eventually found a use for the Panther you sent.

Looks awesome, I never realised that series 2 figures would fit in a VAMP. Cool.
