I have some damaged (missing limbs, loose legs and arms) VAM that I want to try to repair but have no idea where or how to start and its obvious some of you guys are far more experienced at it than I am.  Any helps, tips or links to sites would be really appreciated.  Thanks

Like Dal (Blond Action Man) has said ask what you want to know on here and some one will be able to help.

I have replaced limbs on both the original 1964 style bodies and the later blue pant bodies. The 1964 bodies are easier as you don't need to chop open / split the seams of the body which is something you have to do with the BP bodies.

If you want to look at some pictorial guides it is worth having a look at the Unofficial Action Man HQ forum, as they have lots of useful hints and tips posted (I hope it is okay recommending a 'competitor').

Re building VAM relativeley straight forward once you get them dissassembled and see how things fit together.
