Action Force Quarrel (Alpha Squad)


 Hi everyone. Not been hobbying much of late just not had to much inclination. I have found not being able to play games or goto events a bit of a drag. I have done some a bit here and there and a while back I finished this lovely lady for my Gi Joe/Action Force Project.

Quarrel is the sort of Action Force equivalent of the Joe's Scarlett character. In fact its pretty much the same toy just in different colourings. I didn't want to get another copy of the figure I used for Scarlett so had a look through the bits box and found some appropriate pieces. The weaponry is different but to mit doesn't matter to much as Quarrel is better known for riding the rapid fire motorcycle than anything else.



The figure body itself is a Hasslefree miniatures whose head I had removed to use for my New Avengers Purdey conversion. Not wanting to waste it I added a spare head from Statuesque miniatures and painted it an appropriate scheme. I have some other infantry which I have started putting the basecoat colours on.

  7. Very nice conversion! Looks perfect 😀

    I hear you on how the lack of gaming opportunities tends to decrease the motivation. I’m basically the same. Just kinda plucking away at things.
