Wow, that's quite a list Sundance. Reminds me:

Eel as Shad Frogman. That's another perfect one for :enemy: with not much repainting required, not forgetting the great :shadow: frogmen customs on the site recently and about 18 months ago. Lamprey too though needs to get repainted. All of them perfect with the :enemy: Moray hydrofoil. Then :baron: can really fugg-up :qforce:

I can see your point about :deepsix:, when I was young, I showed him to my mum who asked "Is he he a spaceman?"
With that logic, he could work as :space:...with :ace: as a :space: interceptor pilot of some kind.

I'd like to think that Palitoy would of kept the jointed figures as pilots & playset exclusives..with standalone figures still being standard :AFLogo: style.

The old Deep Six was so blocky it looked like a good doorstop I prefer the later Battle corps version if not the colours of his suit. The Battle Corps one would make a good jointed Leviathan not sure if anyone has already done that. Here is not fully suited but you get the idea. Image

Yeah, :deepsix: too much for :AFLogo: , :space: would be his only destiny if any ...

Absolutely about the jointed figures with vehicles or kit etc. Most would work with existing bits of kit, tho' :ripcord: could get :uspara: rig), :scrapiron: keeps his 'goddess killer', :copper: gets Red Moccassin custom, :redwolf2: Roboskull Mark 2 (black and red instead of red and black), and Lamprey gets the Red Moray. :firefly: and :torpedo: would need a home though! The possibilities are infinite.

To reply to you Ironblood and follow on from Thundershot, with the :qforce: Base, such as the one here (Eisenblut's custom) :deepsix: might work.

Then I found these where he does, but without an overload of the blue and yellow (custom by ??).

Image

So obviously he'd make a good - and very weathered - :qforce: Base Commander.... Anyone else remember the North Sea Oil Rig Divers from the early 80s paid at least 40k a year due to reduced life expectancy ?? Sort of reminds me of him, they were usually mad Northerners or Scots.

:quick:

PS. Good to be reminded of the :enemy: hovercraft (another hat-tip to Eisenmupp). Looks bloody good.

The :qforce: transfers are by The Kraken Wakes, pretty sure Jimbo's Nautilus was a Chap Mei toy.

Aha, thanks Eisenblut. That figures for the customs on the transfer page too, all great work by The Kraken Wakes.

But, are the :qforce: customs on the transfer page his too? Can't find on his dedicated Customs' page. Found the Nightmare custom that isn't there yet buried on the forum. So guessing :qforce: unfinished.
