Jimbo, VERY nice custom vehicle there, I don't even collect Z-Force but seeing that sure makes me wish I did. A shame I sold my GI Joe Bridgelayer recently, else I'd have happily sent it your way for conversion to Z Force, it would have fitten in nicely with the rest of your collection.
Any chance of seeing some snaps of all your Z-force together, customs and regular figures, just would be nice to see your mini-army as a whole and see how well your various customs fit in with the palitoy figures and vehicles.

Appreciate the offer. I was actually planning to try and buy your Bridgelayer, but Ebay is a bit touch and go with me as I'm often unable to get near the Internet by being away from home because of work (And also I sometimes forget to check my Ebay watch list for days at a time and make a bid!).
In fact the Bridgelayer is one of the vehicles I have been looking for from when I started these customisations. There are always a dozen or so for sale in the US, but I like to try and get a couple of items from one seller to make the postage costs bearable. That said I've had an offer from Chad_Ghost and another US collector to gather a bundle of wins together to ship at once, so I'm looking with a bit more flexibility now.
I'll keep you posted.

No problem, my pleasure. However give me a few days. I just won the Z Force Command Centre, complete with Gaucho on Ebay (only Jammer to go now); it's on the way and it should be here by the weekend (It was only ?30, so I may wake up to find I've been dreaming!). Then I'll get them all together on parade, old and new.
Meanwhile I was deliberating whether to customise a helicopter of some description and give Z Force some integral air support (which I believe both the British Army and US Marines have). But I wasn't sure if it would have fitted in with my concept of Z Force from BAF, since they are always seem pretty mobile, so I voted it out. Then I had one of those, "I wonder.......", thoughts, and lo and behold it worked....................
.....well not too badly! The rear wheel sits nicely on the trailer towing hitch and with the searchlight removed the cab can turn beneath the tail no problem. The Raven is completely steady when the Transporter is trundling around. A GI Joe Dragonfly should certainly fit, or perhaps something between the two in size. Ahhhhh, the possiblities for Desert Strike II are becoming clear..........

The Chopper doesn't really look good on the back of the transport but the cannon on the cab would be good for heavy fire support but not recon missions it would be good for an SAS transport chopper though.
