Excellent work, it is great to see him finished  :D

I am curretnly trying to finish off my own Baron conversion and this has given me some much needed inspiration as to how to execute his stylish and unique bucket helmet.

Your AF blog was what really started me back into modeling and painting, and might even lead to a game or two in the New Year :o

I just need to get more Shadows done over Xmas now

Thanks and keep up the good work

I love all the GI joe stuff going up at the moment. I had plenty of the figures as a kid. Good work!

Great stuff - that's a lovely soft white you've painted there. Would that mine turned out so!

Hear hear!

Action Force was in fact long established before those Johnny come latelys turned up from accross the pond! ;)

And as for all that 'pyramid scheme in the town of Springfield' tosh, well. I refer you here (http://www.bloodforthebaron.com/colouring/blood/world%20enemy%20no.%201.html) for the true origins of Cobra.

Glad you like the models folks.

Stay lucky,
Soaps.

yeah, I read that on wiki... it has to be the lamest back story for a megalomaniac in the history of megalomania...

No matter the story, Zech could and still can draw one hell of a comic and with Golden doing the covers I was in heaven in Jr High when I was reading it.

Action Who?  What?

GI JOE A REAL AMERICAN HERO!

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO JOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

on the one side you have a failed used car salesman with a ponytail, a pencil moustache and a liking for berets and pyramid sales conferences....

or you can go with the mysterious, megalomaniac Swiss aristocrat with the international sign of evil the goatee and a liking for good solid iron headwear...

seriously...  ;)
