I've got 5 new, custom-carded figures.

All from Paul's 'should-have-been' vault.

First up, the SWS Science Officer.

[before some of you start moaning, I have it on the highest authority from the Davester that its SWS and not 'F' force, a la SAS...]

Where do I get Action Force bubbles?

Why, from Action Force figures of course! :doc:



They are recycled originals.

Which reminds me, Paul463 - MANY thanks for these bubbles fella!

Without your knackered old cards, I couldn't have made any of these, so much 'spec indeed.


If anyone has any more spare, please let me know, I will happily pay for your useless, unwanted card bubbles and make something nice from them. I promise.

Also, IndyTree, any luck................................?

I have a SW bubble maker 'on the job', but they are proving surprisingly difficult!

Making a single bubble, like SW, is quite easy.

To make the 3-part AF bubble, like I want, is proving much harder as the 2 smaller bubbles often blur into the main bubble.

It will be solved at some point, but not yet, hence re-using old bubbles...

if you found a local shop (smaller the better as they are friendlier!) that has a shrink wrap machine, make wooden block that are a perfect match & lay plastic over the top, couls possibly use an oven? but your right, the 3 bubbles moght make it harder.
i made the body for an rc car this way.

Cheers to Andy 1672 for the red hammer [from about 5 month's back! It's taken THAT long to finally get this little fella done...]

Nice work Paul, these are wonderful additions !

I like the "should have been" concept.

When Dave was last over at the Queen's gaff, he had a rummage down the back of her sofa and found a few of these.
He gave me one, so I carded it up!


Ask a silly question.... :doc:

No, Ironblood, its 100% fake sadly. Or 'custom' as I like to say!
