I think he's referring to the 'under-the-counter' Red Shadow heads…

German looking helmet and facemask, it's good enough for a lot of people :)

Personally I agree with you, but then I'd like someone to make Cobra troops :D

Figures arrived today (Great Service!) - and they are very nice in fact have gone straight in at number one on my list of favourite sci fi figures I hope that Soapy can be persuaded to expand the range a bit (couple more riflemen - one an NCO type, a SAW type version of the rifle and perhaps a missile launcher).

The deck crew are good as well.

Those Not-Space Force minis are brilliant, and it's typical that I found out about them on the day I was told I probably wouldn't be paid this month.

Dammit.

I'm determined to pick these up at some point.

Oliver,

The top image you posted is of Pulp Miniatures German Zepellin Troops given an SAS Force paint job by Soapy. The SAS guy at the bottom is, I presume, a conversion of a MoFo miniature by Soapy.

Hope that helps.

if memory serves the lower SAS Force man is a conversion of a discontinued not-Stargate range...
