Straight-limbed GAUCHO... (pics to follow)

[Ross SC]

love the gaucho figure, but would love to see the black on the tunic/face blended in a bit more to give it more of a smooth finish. what paints were used?
personally not a fan of this base figure, (thought it made a terrible black major he had a way too mopey looking face for a cold blooded killer!) but you have made good use of it.

Mark assures me it's just a bad camera...

if you look around the face you can see it's not blended & i'd be supprised if the jacket could look like thatr because of a bad camera. dont get me wrong, i really like the figure just think it could be tweaked!

Excellent work, but isn't this Gung-Ho not Gaucho?

Yep, this is Gung-ho:

All the Action Force figures had exactly the same face - that of the larger Action Man - save for the few Gi Joe add-ins...

Even the most evil man in the world had the exact same face as all of the AF, plus the addition of the classic 'evil '80's goatee'...

Cool pic, as I said though the original inspiration was to make a Wave 2 figure using only Wave 1 parts, hence the inspiration came from Gaucho (with his US Marine tattoo), not Gung-Ho who was Wave 3. We went with a uniform because there were no bare-chested leather boys in Wave 1 from whom we could take parts .
Black Major was made from the same parts as Wave 1's AF-Commander, hence he fitted the brief for this project.

Andy1672 has already said he's going to have a go at making a Wave 1 style US Marine, and I hope other customisers will too.

I should also point out that Mark did this as a free favour to me in a single evening, and by that token he did a bloody good job

good work & good idea.

[SPEC OPS]

really like this concept (and I'm not a fan of the non-multi jointed figs), the Gung Ho/Gaucho is incredibly detailed, and the firefly is perfect.

anymore?

Welcome to the fun, SPEC OPS!

Although I'm working on the prototype Paratrooper at the mo', I've been talking to my buddy Mark about Jammer, and it looks like he might be working on a Wave 1 straight-limbed version of him possibly in the near future.
