Thanks. Even though the project ultimately ended up nowhere, I'm glad it still ended up of utility to other fans of GI Joe.

Thanks, I will. I've been toying with some ideas for customs (kitbashes, really) based on some designs and organizational concepts I've laid out, though they're really just there to help me visualize those designs, and aren't "real" customs (not yet, anyway).

Yeah, looking back, it was a lot of work, wasn't it? I think the tipping point was trying to tie in the events in the comics with real world events and keeping the chronology straight whilst maintaining a semblance of realism in the organizational hierarchy. In the end, I think it was ultimately my compulsion/non-negotiable requirement to have everything simultaneously "fit" when laid against the toy release, comic book, and real world timelines that killed it for me. It was never going to be as seamless as I wanted it to be, given things like comics publishing lead times, the "sliding time scale" in comics, and whatnot.

I'll likely still make and post composited images here if I get the increasingly rare itch to boot up Photoshop, no more filecards or "FM" style military organization manuals though. Oh, and thanks for keeping up with the thread. You guys (everyone, not just LL71) are the best.
