Union Jack Jackson
One of my favourite comic book characters growing up was Union Jack Jackson of Warlord comic. UJJ was a British soldier stranded in the Pacific, helping the US marines to fight Japan. Jackson firstly had to win the trust of the tough veteran soldiers like O’Bannion and Sarge. When I got my box of the […]
Lynx Helicopter for U.N.I.T.

The black fits nicely with the UNIT theme, and the decals just finish it off. Trouble at the meat market! Bolt Action commandos converted to modern UNIT […]
