Made a custom viking from a vintage Action Man with some bits and bobs. Modded the helmet, shield and axe with green stuff...
Lately I'm trying to make some WW1 customs with vintage Action Man stuff. Here's my first one: an early French infantry soldier. Looks pretty cool imo :)
My latest custom; a 12n inch motu Trap Jaw...He still can switch his gun and claws in this version :)
The Action Man headsculpt is actually really, really good. After all, it is over 40 years old by now, how many toys of that age share the same degree of likeness to the real world?
This is Harri the Man at his most dramatic.
For BlondeActionMan's Tag Game: Rescue Team photo challenge:
Your mission, should you choose to accept it: one of your guys (or girls) has been kidnapped by an opposing HQ. Your Commander must select three of the best soldiers or agents (any make of figure can be used) to mount a rescue! Each one must have some skill that will be essential to the team to aide in this mission. Your team must be kitted out and they must have a vehicle to make a fast getaway! Your team may use any mode of transport.
Now let's see those teams!
This is a vintage Hasbro Green Beret uniform (Pants and Jacket only) displayed on a Timeless Collection GI Joe. The boots, web-belt and scarf are from Cotswold/Elitebrigade. The M-16, Beret and Grenades are from the Timeless Collection "Green Beret Machine Gun Outpost" Set. His pistol and holster are from the GI Joe 40th Anniversary series.
The figure was placed in a fern covered area of my backyard, and photographed with a Nikon D3100 camera, using a 35mm f1.8 lens.
A photo of the set-up is here: www.flickr.com/photos/cerebralpizza/21729190256/in/datepo...
I've recently been upgrading older comics, and I came across this little gem from way back! Dave and I re-masterd it and I wanted to share it with you guys.
This is first appearance of Lord Conan J. Roxton. This short comic follows Lucas' arrival and his meeting with all the other adventurers. I have searched the forum for the original post but sadly couldn't find it. I did find the original pictures and part of the script, but to remaster this one, I had to rewrite some of it. I hope it doesn't dull the enjoyment of it
Installment in a group photo-story project.

Two USN pilots coordinate prior to a mission in the fall of 1960.
The GI Joes are both Timeless Collection figures. They are wearing a mix of Hasbro and Cotswold reproduction items. And...HEY! I just found my Action Man Dog Tag!!! (That needs to go back to Action man.)
I've been working on a small carrier deck 'set'. I'm quite pleased with these first results.

Just a vintage Action Man custom/ kitbash/ photoshop expirement. Turned out kinda cool :) Wanted to make one since I watched a few old series of Sharpe for ol' time sake on the net.

'Will you stop staring!' said Dax,
'I can't help it" replied J.J.. "Is it a yeti?' he continues.
'No!.. Jake said its a Wookie, and first mate to Captain Solo, of the Millennium Falcon. It's parked out in the car park!" answered Dax to his bewildered colleague.
I swapped my Duckw with another Dutch collector for this awesome vintage us marine machine gunner Action Man with tons of extra goodies. Awesome! :D
Los ACTION-MAN (versión inglesa de nuestro Geyper Man) recién llegados del Reino Unido posan en una foto de estudio.
I recently finished off my custom Adventurer figure with the addition of some genuine vintage clothes courtesy of eBay.
The Action Man line didn't have an entire team of adventurers like their American counterparts did. Instead they had 2 Adventurers, one blonde and one with brown hair, both bearded, both with blue eyes. From 1970-72 they had the "hard hands" and wore these funky blue jeans, but sported a white turtleneck and some very unique tan hiking boots. When the "gripping hands" came out in 1973, they switched to dark blue turtlenecks and black boots as white was not a very good color for adventuring. They would maintain this look as they transitioned to having eagle eyes and dynamic physiques up until the line was cancelled.
Internationally, similar figures could be found on the continent. When Geyperman came out in Spain in 1975, one of the Adventurer figures in that line kept the white turtleneck/blue jeans outfit of the earlier Action Man version, they also added a shoulder holster and pistol reminiscent of the AT. in France, "Action Joe" copied the same blue turtleneck/blue jeans/black boots look for their Adventurer figures Tom (blonde beard) and Joe (brown beard) figures and like Spain, added a shoulder holster and pistol. In Germany, the same look was sported by the Action Team's "Bob Power" who was a blonde bearded eagle eye figure. In Italy, the same figure as Bob Power was sold and in the same outfit, but didn't have a name like his French and German cousins.
Unlike his silent counterpart this Space Ranger captain actually came with a gun... though with those gloves he can't hold it! How were the Space Rangers meant to defend themselves against Zargon? Not that his Space Pirates could hold their pistols either...

Don't listen to him, Sindy girl! Poppa Joe is up to no good and he knows what he's doing!
Well, as long as she doesn't look him in the eyes, she can get off the hook XD
... The Tree is a one year collaborative project, alternating weekly between Russell Higgs and cAt Monstersmith.
The Tree was initially believed to be a Tree Of Heaven, but is since identified as Robinia Pseudoacacia, commonly known as the Black Locust, and is situated @ Hackney City Farm.
The start day for the project was Tuesday 20 Nov 2012.
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah

Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time!
