Many of you will know that in the 80's the UK's Action Force was at one point led by an English Flint. The toys came over maybe a year or so later in the UK, so the Action Force team that I collected was mainly the Flint/Jaye/BBQ wave and the Quick Kick/Dusty/Alpine waves.
So I'm resurrecting Action Force in both diorama and comic book formm (the latter very slowly but a good start so far), with Flint and Jaye leading the team. Anyway, they need a base - the US team have the Pit or the Rock, so what would a UK team have??? Underneath the Tower of London lies the secret base of Action Force... (These are WIP - as we speak I've added a massive viewscreen and smaller screens, but no pics of stage 2 just yet. Also these are sets for dioramas, so the various rooms will be separate and not built as a playset. Also, thanks to The Longest Day for the recipe for Kamakura which I changed slightly. Doesn't deserve it's own thread, so here he is in The Tower. The only theing of interest with the custom is that I added Torpedo hands to him to correct the Viper hands. |

Thanks guys.
Here's the next phase done... The 3 monitors on Jaye's wall are just loosely tacked for the photo, and placed above the screen for the last shot - they won't end up there. |

That's really nice. I especially like the hand scanner on the wall. Any close-up shots or a 'how to"?
