I used to post my stuff in regulary to various AF sites and I am in the BFTB customs under username Fant0mas. So I'm hoping that these will be the first of many customs I'll be submitting as I'm easing myself back into the hobby.
I always wanted these types of figures when I was younger (and I'm sure many of you did too) so that is what first started me customising. I wanted the keep the feel of the "Old School" SAS Force,Z Force,etc but with the poseability of the modern Action Force/Gi Joe. I did lots and lots of customising back then but I sold the bulk on ebay-but that was then and after a break of several years I'm getting the bug again...
So to start off 2 really easy ones but also 2 of my favourites-Eagle and Stalker!
Not really a lot of customising done really-just popping off heads and adding various bits(not like the good old days!) Eagle's head was made from the ROC snake eyes but with the visor removed and a splash of paint on the face-I always loved Geof Campions take of the Battle Action Force stuff-to me he is the ultimate AF artist- he brought the characters to life and they remain clearly in my otherwise cloudy head!
I always wanted an Eagle who didn't have his gas mask on all the time so here is my latest attempt....
Stalker-again I went with Geof's "Bloodhound" Stalker look with woolly cap and goggles. His head is from a ROC Zartan figure.
I have in the works an Iroblood, Black Major and Shadow customs lined up to do so bear with me and I'll get them out ASAP!
if anyone wants anymore info regarding my customs feel free to give me a shout
I haven't painted the SAS insignia yet-as I wanted to get these out there and test the water so to speak-so any feedback and comments are welcome. I know these characters ,and all the classic AF/Enemy have been done a million times before but they hold a special place in me and all that nostalgia and childhood excitement is still there-
This site and forum is amazing-all the hard work you chaps putting into the hobby is great and I am loving it!
Cheers all
Fant0mas
