Awesome to see you make a customs thread! Loving all the stuff you are putting out. I honestly don't know much about Action Force or the Red Shadows. I've watched a couple of YouTube videos on "Who was Action Force?" and "Who were the Red Shadows?" type stuff, but that's it.

Action Force Ground Assault looks awesome! Kudos on repurposing the Palitoy helmet, it looks really good on that Marauder trooper body. Great work man!

Oh, I kinda forgot to put a scarf on that Ground Assault guy, was gonna go for a smaller tan version but had none though this bigger tanned version works I reckon?

Been meaning to get to Space Force for a while, so I have made a Space Force medic codenamed ‘Band-Aid’ seems a fitting name lol, he’s Space Force colors aren’t the traditional SF colors so to show he’s a medic... funny enough AF80’s was on a project same time I was as we was both dremelling out a Space Force Patroller vintage figure the same time last week and have been talking about it with each other since, so when he posts, check his mystery custom out too!.... right, also customed a female Space Force Officer, the actual legs are ROC Hawk’s legs, looks so crappy on ROC Hawk, that he looks like he has chicken legs or something, looks better on a female body that’s for sure, was friggin’ hard though making GI Joe modern legs compatible with a Marauder waist part, don’t know if I’m ever going to try that again lol, also, I used a belt/holster for her, for that retro/vintage 80’s vibe, painted yellowish with a bit of dry brushing, for a bit real feel, hope that worked and hope you like them?
Theres a vintage Palitoy Space Force Officer at the end for those not that in the know with Space Force. Last edited by LEEE777; 05-23-2021 at 12:05 AM.. |

Loving the Space Force medic, an inspired idea to add one to the team and the colours are perfect for him. You also beat me to it finishing the figure with the dremmeled out helmet I have to say you did a better job cutting the backpack off him than I did as well!
Another great idea with the female Space Commander also. You are right those legs look much better on a female figure, and presumably also makes her shorter? They never looked right on the male GI Joe figures, makes me think you possibly got those legs in one of the parts lots you bought off me? |

And actually naw, I just undid a ROC Hawk, yeah them legs suck on him lol, thats good to know though, I think I did get some spare pants off you way back? (Ok, I just thought about what I just wrote haha). Cool, an I don’t reckon she’s not really that much shorter at all I don’t think, of course shorter than the male figures, I’ll have to compare, though looked pretty much classic Space Force pants in a retro kinda way, which in my mind I was going for. Many thanks for your comments dude, always appreciate them big time! Last edited by LEEE777; 05-23-2021 at 09:29 AM.. |

Damn man, lovin’ your detailed comments! :P Awesome, much appreciated bro!
I’m sure that Gunner be done soon enough lol, an darn, nothing but rain here all the time, you got it good. ;) Yeah, next terrain is gonna be the toilet and bathroom sink haha. Hit, cheers bud :Thumbs Yeah, found a vest I liked better for him color wise, now just need to gear up the gunner and add some gold accents to the gear and I can put him with my Eagle Force stuff for some pics. Finished a 90’s Joe DEF custom because I got some stay-in weather so felt good to get some custom stuff done since it’s been all yard work recently. Haha, gotta use whatever you have! ————— Band-Aid is awesome! Love how adding the blue & red paint to the yellow body just pops! Action Force had such a cool color scheme. You and AF80’s are definitely opening my eyes to how cool this stuff was. Glad you guys are posting this stuff because I really only had very minimal exposure to it even through my internet deep dives. Great helmet for him as well. The female officer is a great homage to the original space officer. Those legs work great for her so that was a great idea to reuse them. Really like how the white arms breaks up that build / her uniform. Great pics with the vehicle too! So cool seeing this stuff I just never saw before. The ground assault guy looks really cool, great homage to the original figure again. Really like him with the larger scarf. That dremeled out helmet is badass too!
