lego piece you are looking for is called "Bar Holder with Clip" - part number 11090
, your best guess for color would be sand green
Thanks Jody!
Jody, you are a bloody genius, sir.
Between watching you and It’s Chad I want to make a ATC into a APC as I just bought a few parts lots to make it happen. I had no idea you could take the guts out of it. So I am going to see what APC has the best body and slap the inside from the ATC into the APC to make a mobile medical APC or MASH Armour Personal Mobile Medical Troop Carrier. In a few weeks it should arrive all the lots I bought to try to make one.
great video Tony I love watching toy restoration videos. Keep up the great work.
Great job and you did it credit. I would have had exactly the same OCD moment when refitting the missles...fit it all back in the correct order, stripping and assembling lesson number 1😁
I'm going to have to look out my old ATC now, I still can't believe I got this toy as a kid, it was incredible!
Fantastic video. The ATC is genuinely a work of art. From one OCD-vet to another, placing the numbered missiles in the correct firing order was the icing on the cake 😁...
Hi Tony,
I have made many custom Action Force toys over the years and thought it worth suggesting you could use Humbrol grass green paint (small tins or spray) to colour the replacement Lego parts. In my experience, this gives a close match to the original Z-Force Green.
Hi David
Thank you for sharing the closes color to the orignal Z-Forxe green was Humbrol Grass Green. I was looking everywhere for a cloae paint match, since im working on a custom Skip. This makes things so much easier. Again, thank you so much
I had one of these as a child and it was my favourite toy, great piece of kit.
Hello friend I saw your video of the restoration you did to that truck of Gi-Joe and I am impeccable, although you do not believe it I do exactly the same with my accessory dolls and Rambo vehicles excellent video greetings from Argentina 👏
I want one of those but they hard to find for a cheap price. If George sent me a broken one I would love it and fix it up. Man sooo cool
Hello Tony !
Just to tell you that I really love your videos but what I like about you is the emotion, the simplicity and the great knowledge that you have for everything .You are a real passionate and it is with great pleasure that I watch your videos because I learn a lot about everything.
Let go my friend and look forward to watching you! good luck .
Your fan Erick 👍
Thank you Erick!

sorry for my English .
Excellent restoration mate needs a lot of patience even more when filming it👍👍👍
Love these restoration videos as they show what it really means to be a toy collector
Nice work. Clever quick fix with the added paint on the top! Looks great, interesting variant of the standard US APC. Really like the Z Force/Action Force colors and stickers.
Well done
Thanks from Spain...thanks!!!!
man i love that camo apc top is sweet
George is an amazing friend! I'm going to modify my ARAH APV with Action Force internal chassis. I love the med bay design. I already have the stretcher. Good day Tony!
313 Card Collections nice that’s a great idea the gi joe doc figure came with the stretcher but it is a darker colour
@@georgeaitken2719 I have a white and a darker green stretcher. I'm not sure where they came from...lol .
Great job on its restoration. Looks fresh and new. Loved the improvisation techniques too. Well done.
Hi Tony
I did see this on Patreon but I’ve just taken another look.....
This video looked quite tricky to do
to make sure everything was caught on camera .....so well done for bringing us this.....and we’ll done again George!!!
Great video Tony! Good job
Thanks stuart
Thanks man!
Impressive great job
Wow! I wish I have a toy like that APC
What an awesome restoration Tony, keep up the amazing work you do
I remember buying this with all my birthday money in 1984. Funnily enough I don't remember the missle part of the turret at all - I expect I'd lost that within a month!
Harfynn Teuport I had 2 in the 80s the missile rack was broken on one of them within a month and I lost the ariels very quickly as well
21:46 Tony did you try lighter fluid? That works wonders for paint removal
For the stretcher, one could clip off the existing handles and fashion two metal replacements. That is, one part has handles on each end, and it attaches along the side of the 'canvas'. You could get fancy and make cross pieces that run along the ends of the 'canvas', forming a box frame.
The seat belt could be made from a strip of leather or vinyl, with metal clips, or whatever, at the ends. Indeed, it could be enhanced further so that it fastens down between each seat, and not just at the ends of the seat row.
Enhancing a toy with more detailed or more durable replacement parts is no sin in my book. But I suppose it rubs in the wrong direction the fur of the purist collector. 😊
Cheers from a Canuck who's visited Oz on four occasions!
Always use a plastic scraper to remover paint. avoid using metal objects.try Clearasil for a day .on black marker areas.
The action figure Doc 1983 comes with the same stretcher only it’s grey. It should also fit in there.
You could use milliput to sculpt the part you need for the APC missiles. They even have glue that bonds to plastic. To complete the piece. Toy poloi does this on his Sky Striker cockpit. If you want to check it out. Of course he uses LEGO too, quite a bit lol 😝.
Great video and project....I said it before I love this guys better than g.I. joe
I've never tried boiling water for stuck figure screws. I ruined a Reekon by trying to drill a screw out!
TheNightBadger I’m going to try it with a steeler figure I have
The missile rack fix is brilliant! I didn't have the Joe APC, how did the AF interior differ?
I'll cover in greater detail in a future video
The gi joe version had a solid plastic turret which had no features so it just rotated the interior was just 2 rows of seats running right up to the cockpit
Yeah the ARAH version was very plain compared to z Force. It was more like a troop carrier instead of a medical unit/ troop carrier. I'm modifying mine to the z Force version also. I have most of the bits..just need the stickers and belt. Love it!
I love the z force transport but even with the upgrades this vehicle fits better with gi joe figures
The two plastic pieces hook over the canopy
Thanks for the tip on that George!
Action force was amazing when me and brothers were younger, I loved the stories in Battle comic, I had the atc and tank (it was motorised you moved the turret forwards, backwards, and turned it left or right to steer, boy was it slow though) from z force and tons of figures as they were only about £3-4
Our childhood garden is home to lots of lost figures and accessories.
I always wanted a hyena, I would love to do an rc upgrade of it with 4channel track control and a rotating turret,. One day maybe.
I remember when I collected these figures and vehicles the most expensive was the z force headquarters cost £45 the z force atc cost 18.99 and the roboskull 19.99 great times great memories
I'd have gone to town on that paint with a Dremel.
This is possibly the 'nerdiest' question I've ever asked... How were the z force camp patterns applied during production? Was it a standardised mechanical stencil type affair or were they all hand painted and therefore all slightly individual? The ATC was brilliant and Z Force for me the best of all the AF lines.
I'm not sure but now I want to know the answer to your question too!
The camo top was probably tampo printed like other vehicles such as Z-Force jeep. Machine applied paint print using a pattern a bit like screen printing I guess
Goo Gone, in my opinion, is safer and works better than brake fluid or lighter fluid.
It might have buffed out but then you might still would have had to paint it then
Why don't You try ti clean that paint spot whith brake fluido.
The parts of the ATC I bought are not in good shape. lol 😆 it’s just the inner shell from one lot and then the other eBay lot had the other out shell and maybe one turret with a hatch. So it might not even have the hitch handle nor do they have the floor hatch or the seat belt pole or the missal launcher or missals or small antenna
It's baffling to me why someone who collects vintage toys would remove the remnants of a child's imagination imprinted upon it. What a waste. Like destroying a work of art. Otherwise really informative video.
It's baffing to me why you think he should consider the paint marks of a child he didn't know (someone who is probably 50 years old now) to be sacred.
