Maurice Corry's SAS Task Force Black image?

[Maki]

It was one of the figures released under his own name, but as far as I know it is no longer available... it is a 120mm scale figure and the only image I can find on-line is this wee photo.

Is there anyone who can share more photos of the figure? Unpainted preferably.

Thanks,
Mario

Hi Mirosoft

Thats not the SAS figure ....is it inside the actual magazine perhaps ?

Yes, I can understand the confusion as the image is super small... but it is a modern SAS Task Force Black operative.

Cheers,

Hi,
I believe this is the figure you are talking about.. If your after further pics let me know what profile your looking for..
At this stage he is well hidden in the grey army, but I have no plans to part with him..sorry..

Thank you! Are there any box art photos for the figure?

OK, this is what I managed to find... apparently the master was sold to Foxwood Figures:
Foxwood Figures 1-16th/120mm British SAS Operation Black, Iraq 2005 resin kit | #1778633644 (worthpoint.com)

No box art, Moz didnt do boxes back in the day. If I remember correctly he sent it free along with my order for 2 x 1/9 Brits...

 

[Maki]

Yeah, I do remember he didn't do box art. Most of the figures back then were shipped in a plain cardboard boxes.

But I remember seeing the photos with which he promoted the figure. I ordered the figure based on the photo... The same photo I posted here, but the image was of course larger.

Cheers,

Thanks Andrew, but it is not the same figure... The one you posted is a newer version of the Task Force Black figure which was produced by Mitches Military Models.

Hi Mario.
Moz also produced this 200mm version of an operation black SAS figure. I bought him direct from Moz several years ago when he was trading at Euro.

I always thought this was a decent kit, and I'm a big fan of Moz’s work. That said, packaging wasnt his strong suite back when he was running his own company.

I loved this big figure.

It was fun to paint.

I have the same kit. Never painted it because it's really horrible. I felt ripped off and used the gun for other things. But the big one was really cool.

I'm a huge fan of Moz's work, a lot of the stuff he did when trying to run his own company ( way back in the day..before he was picked up by the likes of Mitches ) was missing the odd part, but he is a true legend as a sculptor... Not sure why Steve thinks this large scale figure is horrible.. He hasnt stated why... I have it and think it is very well done..
The only thing I find annoying is why different sculptors cannot sculpt weapons to scale.. If an item of kit or a rifle is sculpted in for example 1/16 then every sculptors weapon should be the same size..
But they are not, and I cannot understand why that is....

Any ideas, and sorry if I'm changing the content of the thread..

The 200mm figure was great, see me example above. I was referring to the 120 mm Task Force Black figure which was crap when I got it after about six months.
