Spud's travels

Posted a couple of pics of Spud at the Cliffs of Moher in response on another member's thread and was getting a few oohs and ahhs scenery wise, so thought I'd stick a few of his travels and adventures up.

This fella is a regular on many of our domestic trips in Ireland.





















What a poser !!!

Kev, stunning fantastic scenery photos spud certainly looks like he enjoyed himself great upload

Wow! Love that scenery!
Looks like Spuds is having fun!

I really really enjoyed looking though Spud's travel pictures. What just stunning and green scenery.

Great shots, Kev!!!

You have to love the scenery in Ireland.

Is that guy sneaking a pic of Spud?

Thanks for the pics.

Thanks guys for all your kind comments.

Brian, I think you might be right.
The old poser wouldn't mind in slightest I suspect !!!!

Spud certainly finds all the best places to visit! Great shots Kev!

Great shots!

Boy do our VAM get about as bit nowdays. I remember when a week's holiday down the coast in a caravan was the extent of their travels!

Fantastic scenery, and Spud has possibly the best Action Man / GI Joe scar ever!

Spud was my very first Action Man in '75 or '76 (I can never remember the exact year).
He was an EE Hybrid second issue sailor with a full beard.
My enterprising sisters got to him with a Stanley blade from the shed or somewhere and 'shaved' him and gouged out the scar. Dangerous little minxes the pair of 'em !!  
They got total hell for using a blade without supervision.
Anyhoo, Spud emerged 'changed' with Action Man PTSD.

He's still the most important figure I'll ever own and I'd never attempt to change that face, they gave him instant hard man character.    

A genuine adventure tale behind the scar! Now that makes him even more cool!

Ireland eh? Did he go to a pub brawl? Thought they were a compulsory inclusion on any Irish tour!

Kev, just looking at Spud in this particular shot, I have to say that whatever it is he's watching through his binoculars seems to be very......"exciting"?

Fantastic back story!!!

Thanks for sharing what must have been a most traumatising and life changing event. But it has made him the toughest of Action Man tough guys!

There's one guy who might actually get respect from Joe and Hank.

It's so frustrating, and embarrassing, when I overlook something so obvious in my own photos, and then somebody else points it out and I can't see anything else!

Few more of our boy on his rambles...

Great pics and great background scenery photos!
Your figure resembles a guy I once knew years ago...lol
It could be his mini double...lol

Your pic with Spud in the forest of "trees" is really good, and I also like the way you have successfully managed to incorporate him into a photo with real humans and yet he still looks "in scale".
Well done Kev!

I’m really really liking these out in the woodland pictures.my favour picture you’v taken of Spud is this one

It's definitly THIS one for me! So much atmosphere, ....and the hint of scariness too!

Kev, ...I wouldn't normally appropriate someone else's pic, but upon seeing this one somehow I just couldn't help myself!

Hope you'll forgive my little addition?      

Because that's what every visitor gets to see, right?

I wonder if the circus know theres a missing elephant?

Nessie sighting!

Awesome Spud travel shots!!!

They're all great! I really like the one in the creepy forest. What kind of trees are those?

Nessie...good one, Barry.

Somehow I get the feeling that if anyone is going to see Nessie it would be Spud.
