im posting this for my brother, finally got him interested in the ole Action Force:

First is my Z-Force Attack Helicopter. I used the Street Fighter II
helicopter that re-used the Dragonfly mold. It matches perfect with all the other Z-Force vehicles.

Next are the guys I made for the helicopter. I went traditional with the
guys (sticking with 83 joe molds), but felt that the joe versions specialties
worked too well to use different figures (ie. stalker:ranger/ jammer:communications).
Anyway, here are the Pilot and Co-Pilot.

Apache: Z-Force Airborne Assault

Lastly is my Z-Force Attack Cannon Gunner, Flash. I always used Flash as my FLAK gunner, so this was an obvious choice.

Let me know what you guys think.

Nice work look great.

How is the paint on the figures? Do you have teh problem of the paint not sticking with the joints of the figures elbows and legs?

Nice Z sign.

Thanks for the comments. The paint stays well except for the joints. For the most part, it doesn't come off unless there is alot of movment. After the paint dried, posed them and will probably never move them again unless i have to.

The mods didn't take that long. Biggest problem was that it took 3-4 coats of paint for these guys. The mods on the heli didn't take long because I spray painted the black parts. Making the stickers took the longest of all.

Thanks for all the comments guys

matt was trying to go with the commander colors. he thought about black
but, afterall, he is a french cowboy.

actually, i think you talking about this gave us the idea. and the reason for the black panels, the chopper he bought on ebay was missing one so he had to get an original panel. also, the black helped break up the green. i agree with you guys, he did a great job.

thanks guys!!
