@ Smokeyrone
90% finished, I am still waiting for the decals.

For all the work and material, I could also buy the models new.
I prefer to rebuild old defective models the way I like them.

And now my SHADO setup is near completion: my brand new UFO game master shirt!  Its Lt. ELLIS!   Got it in Indiana yesterday!

  You're a funny one 
Great shirt, an original ?

Hey Smokey,

Brilliant minds think alike.

I've been collecting some of the Clix figures to do just this, for a while now, and then got distracted, sadly.  I have some of the appropriate metal figs also, though there are far too few of those for my liking.

The Clix figs are great, reasonably inexpensive, especially compared to other figs, and appear to be easy to convert, and/or re-paint, as needed.

Which figures, and/or range are the purple haired girls from?

I don't recall seeing those poses before.

I do have one Clix fig in a silver miniskirt, with purple hair (IIRC), that looks the part.  I forget her name.

Triplicate Girl also looks the part, and is in a hand-to-hand combat pose.  She'd be good with a repaint of silver as well.

Also, what's the guy in blue and white's name, and/or which range is he from?

Looks like he'd be perfect for the SHADO Security personnel, and doesn't even need a repaint.

A lot of figs from various ranges are useful, since many of the females are in tight-fitting outfits, just like in UFO, though some could use some repainting to better fit the part.

I've also found some women in berets and various uniforms (sadly too few poses - especially action, or armed ones), which may be useful for either security troops, and/or for a partial, or all-female, Skydiver crew.  One is in a miniskirt and looks like she could be the captain, while another is just standing and saluting (might be good for a crew inspection at a secret base, before setting off on a cruise).

The little Konami, SHADO Mobiles can be used with 15mm GZG figs - light Vacc Suits for the Aliens, and Heavy Vacc Suits for the SHADO personnel.  The new, British Moongrunt figs can also be used for Moonbase troops too, if desired.  Sadly, no Moonbase, or SHADO HQ personnel for my liking. 

We need some figs in track suits with plain heads for those, and no one seems to make them in this scale.

I wish someone would produce some more Alien poses for the Crooked Dice figs.  I've written them to request that, and they said they'd pass that along to the sculptor, but so far, no luck.  Would love to see one kneeling and aiming/firing his rifle, another one holding his rifle up to his helmet's visor to aim and fire, one running, perhaps a casualty figure or two - lying face down and face up, etc., etc..

Send a note to Crooked Dice if you'd like to see more of these too.

Anyone know how the Imai Mobiles compare in size to the diecast, Sixteen12 Mobiles?

Lady Blackhawk for the Skydiver Captain, and Shield Recruit 007A for the crewwomen.

Hi Mako, ill post pics of the good clip figs I used. 

I'm adding a second scale, 6mm, for the actual space fighting.  Picked up these beauties from Shapeways cheap.  Using a 1" hex grid space mat.

Thanks for the new photos, Smokey.

I sent you both a PM thru LAF, and an e-mail too. 

Apparently one of those bounced, multiple times, for some reason, which I don't understand, since I just replied back to you for both, so let me know which one you received, or didn't receive.

Ok, moonbase is gonna be a bit different.  No other play value if I do that very difficult, and very little floorspace be from the show...

So...mine will feature a remnant of the original, but the rest is a typical space hulk/Hadeys hope build, multi level, mostly inside a moon mountain.
