not a big fan of q force but this is class, excellent paint job.

the arnie fig is bang on, which head did you use?

hawke is pretty near spot on but think you should go a couple of shades darker on the torso.

th un trooper is cool but is it me or is that not the double of Ironblood???? ;-)
I used the "Red Star" Head for the Commando figure, I thought it was close .... but no cigar !

I agree that the UN trooper is a good likeness for Ironblood tho !

Great work Andy that skimmer definitely does say Q Force if you can ignore the Cobra sigil. And I take that as a compliment about the UN Trooper especially since Stalker is a favourite character of mine. ;-)

Im still working my way through a plethora of bodyparts, basically making the most of junk !

here is a mixture of Destro, Outback and Blizzard .... based on the Indian "superhero" figure.

I know the cape is a bit shabby but Im waiting for some better material to replace it.

When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?
