[fireflyguy]

Fantastic! I love all the detail. That is some great work and nice photos as well.

[Crimson Gord]

AAAAAAHHHH, i'm blown away buddy, you have created a masterpiece ! i love how that one trooper ended up in the water obstacle head first, lmao ! can we get a pic of the tent row?

[Flint-wo2]

Awesome.

[Lt. Faceless]

Thats so f**king awsome.When can i come over to play.I'll bring the booze and lunch.

[CobraCrimson]

Sweat idea man!!! Love it!!!

[heymilt]

that's really cool!
I'm also nuts about that little house...

[sjames90]

That is really awesome. My wife was looking over my shoulder (who doesn't give a flip about Joes) and told me that she even thought it was really cool.

[cobracobra]

This is nuts! And a topic rarely covered. I always loved Countdown to Zartan for the training camp segments and it showed how badass Storm Shadow was.

[krooklyn]

Amazing dio!! Almost reminds me of the O course in Marine Corp bootcamp. Love your work.

[South Texas Joe]

Awsome work.

[Flint Faireborn]

epic!!! a picture is worth a thousand words.

[OSOK]

very cool!

[talldrkhansom]

This is really cool. Now the Joe's need one with Slaughter out there...

[azoric]

I like it!

Where did you get those sweet shades for stormshadow?

[badfish989]

awesome work. What did you use for the barbwire

[Slaymaker]

AMAZING!!!! My boys want their own now... :D

[Thunderlips]

Love it!!

[KingBiohazerd]

Very awesome man I love it!

[Wry1]

Dude that's excellent.

[WildBill]

This is frelling awesome man. Amazing work and nice photogs. Congrats.
RJ

[Jaybird]

That is awesome! You can tell that you put a lot of time and effort into it.

[daremo]

Dude! That is friggin' fantastic! I love what you've got going on here. You're definitely one of the newer customizers I'm keeping my eye on.

[VIPER E7]

This is pretty cool. Nice job. I noticed that no one is at the shooting range. This explains why Cobras are really bad shots.

[David Mercury]

That is awesome!!! I love it and want tp make one on my own but in 3 section on for normal viper, crimson guards and if possible shock vipers. Love the work dude!

[Ripper]

This looks great! ( I love your Cobra Commander, what was the head from? ) I just hope that you never have to move. This would be hard to transport, since it is in your backyard (?) Great job on everything. This is the best diorama that I ve seen in a while.

[W.O. leroy]

Thanks everyone I put a lot of work into it so I really appreciate all the kind words. I would have loved to have taken more shots but it took me nearly half the day to set up and in the afternoon I had an urgent phone call and had to leave so I didn’t get to finish taking the pictures hence no photos of the firing range, if I had more troopers I would have set up so much more as it was I was going to move the troopers around and get all the photos but I ran out of time. I had to clean it up that night because I have a dog and he would have thought it was his new chew toys. I plan on setting it up again and taking more pictures maybe tomorrow, so maybe more pictures then. Questions, ok @ azoric I got the shades from Broken arrow toys, I got them for Monkeywrench but SS is borrowing them lol, @ badfish I got the barb wire from Marauders, it’s fantastic really flexible and strong. Thanks again everyone.

[IIIzoeIII]

the rope swing fail needs to be a signature for real.

[ucsf]

Really cool pics, and fantastic job with all the parts. Can't wait your next setting up.

[RATFINK]

i use to make these as a kid ::sniffles:: thanks for the memory's =)

[Storm]

WooW You crazy mo-fo (in very positive way)!! That is FANTASTIC, the best outdoor dio set up i have seen in my life!!
Now I wanna go to Australia just to see this in real and play there with my joes :) GREAT WORK bro
btw. great shots too

[CG23]

Very cool!

[Unclassified]

love it, man.. that cc is bad ass, where is the head from?

[DR.Sin]

I like this. Great job, looks fairly realistic.

[rockviper]

awesome!

[HAWK EYE]

Love it man!!!

[hahoo3]

One of the coolest dios I've seen!! I love the legs sticking up out of the mud!

[GeneralxRon]

Nice Camp and all the accesories

[SnowSerpent11]

This is amazing!

[MakWiesel]

34 flavors of AWESOME. I love the arrival of the VIPs that is just too sweet!

Beware- I once had a trench arrangement in the yard- nowhere near as cool as your camp- but when my grandfather plowed the field while I was at school, he killed Stalker, Snake-Eyes, Zap, and Grand Slam. I assume he also killed Scarlet- I never found any remnants of her...

[scope uk]

that really looks great!! nice work

[rosales416]

that's so cool!!!

[Justus Prime]

Here's my problem with this. You didn't build it on a solid base that could be transported and saved forever. This shit is dope.

[Gundamben831]

ok leroy I am impressed and also very jealous that you have the backyard space to do something awesome like this. to get the dead grass square/rectangle did you lay a piece of plywood down for a week or use some other method?

[Big Jim]

that thing is sick

[W.O. leroy]

Took some more pics of my training camp and decided to have a little fun with them. Enjoy!

[TK1945]

Looks fun!

[Crimson Gord]

you did an amazing job here bro! i wish i could see what my guard tower would look like in this setup.

i can't wait until winter is over so i can set up my joes outside ! haha

[SierraSerpent]

Super cool dude!

[Nictus]

well...if you think you're awesome because of this...you're right.
and...if you think i'm impressed...well sir i'm here to confirm your suspicions.

it's awesome to see outside dios...especially "active" ones.


however this only further motivates me to make a dio of my own...however i keep finding reasons not to do it.

so thank you for doing it for me ;)

[Tim 121RVC]

This is full of win. Now put Big Boa somewhere in the camp and you have pure win.

Tim 121RVC

[W.O. leroy]

Thanks guys, I don't have Big Boa I wish I did though that would rock. I was wondering if people could give me their opinion on which muzzle flash they think is more like an AK47. I think the first one but I like the second one, so let me know what you think. Thanks for looking.

[sbartek1974]

That settles it! If my wife gets to have her flower gardens, I should get to have my training camps. Awesome idea. Awesome job on that idea.

[Flint-wo2]

Awesome.

[angelofdeath69]

Way beyond greatness!!!!

[JoeMama]

freakin' right!

[Tankster]

holy moly man!!! to bad you can keep it year around though maybe a permanant one indoors?

[SDawg]

Looks nice, it would look more awesome if you would put a rifle range in the camp.

[danielgogeta]

Real cool training field! Amazing job!

[nighthawk]

Nice!

[W.O. leroy]

Thanks guys. @ SDawg I did do a rifle range pics on page 5 check it out it came out great.

[vince_chua]

Reminds me of my time in the Police Academy. So jealous of you to have your own play space. Super AWESOME! Great attention to details!

[TTT]

Front paged BAT(

[juan561127]

Truly Amazing! Echoing what has been said before, I wish I had play space like that! I'm confined to a small corner in the studyroom. :-(

[Joecom]

That is killer!!!!

[Mr. Focus]

Great job!

[sonofdestro]

I like how you armed your CG's FN P90's. Its perfect, I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that they had executive protection details in mind when they designed those. All around awesome dio too, great work man.

[A.V.A.C.]

Pretty awesome leroy, cool pics!

[jpnX]

awsome dio work love all the thought that was put into it,

[Ctrl_Z]

I want to go over there and play in that lol. what are you gonna do in case of rain?

[~Synder Corps.~]

That ROCKS! Well done, and love the log cabin!!!

[lilmonster777]

This is awesome!!!!

[NSP]

Amazing!! Great photos...with attention to motion!


My favorite are the water pics.....


Cobraaaa!

[GlasgowSmiles]

Awwwww yeah. That is totally awesome.

[666Werecat]

Has a Aussie ever been front paged before? This is well deserving of it.

[PitViper]

No wonder those bastards are so tough!!

Great work man and it looks like a crapload of fun putting that together for pics!

[the Scream Man]

Well done sir! thats a great display!

[arashikage tat]

wow man

[Crimson Gord]

congrats for making the front page bro, you definitely deserve it for this one!

[Cobraoner]

DAAAAng! SUper amazing .. you should make this a permanent DIO .. man this is so ill! I love it much props !

[DEAD VIPER]

so mega awesome

[W.O. leroy]

Wow, thanks everyone I wasn't expecting this. I fully thought it was done and dusted, thanks again everyone. :D

[phightower]

Very entertaining!

[Zartanman]

For a minute I thought you had actually poured cement down for it. LOL Looks awesome regardless. Great job!

[sparks007]

looks like alot of fun! nice work!

[chickenbroth]

That is so freaking cool! Excellent pics too. Love the trooper that fell in the mud!

[OSOK]

there isnt a word to describe how bad ass this is!

[ResoluteDuke]

Did you make that custom Major Bludd yourself? If so, what was the recipe? That thing is sick.

[dropshipbob]

You killed off a patch of grass to make that? That's dedication!
Nice work. :)

[ocab27]

Now that looks like it was tons of fun setting up :) great job man

[Ruffian 7-1]

Absolutely MAGNIFICENT!!!:D

[Troynos]

Love the action shots. Great job.

[danielgogeta]

incredible dio! and love that little house :)

i wanna see how gritty that cobra trooper rises from the mud puddle.

[VideoViper]

Great job!!!

but now we are all going to rip up pieces of our yard.

[rip_cord]

wow.

this is great!

nice work.

[darthnanu]

Very nice!!!!!!!!!!

[williamzombie]

Very very cool man. Great set up, great photos, great customs. I love that Ski Mask Cobra Commander you made... I'm gonna borrow that idea! Sweet stuff man, thanks for taking the time to share it.

[07GT500 COBRA]

Your dad is gonna be so pissed when he sees what you did to the lawn! ;)


Awesome dio!

[mr_david]

Oh my God!!!! To sweet!!!!

[cmdrskyknight]

nice work.

[GI Flow]

this is great!

[W.O. leroy]

Did you make that custom Major Bludd yourself? If so, what was the recipe? That thing is sick.

Yeah sort of mate, I used the head off of one of the 25th Bludds. I pulled his helmet off and sculpted some hair on his head then put his head on the Wolverine body, pretty simple plain clothes Bludd.

As for the grass I just mowed it on the lowest setting on my mower, sometimes the simplest solution is the best.

[80sKid]

WOW WEE!!! Man that is so cool, takin' me back to my countless hours of backyard wars!!! So cool!!!

[krooklyn]

Wow, thanks everyone I wasn't expecting this. I fully thought it was done and dusted, thanks again everyone. :D

Absolutely amaze-balls!! Totally reminds me the O course from when I was in the corp. Except, you're missing one thing.............the slide for life. LOL!!

[Redredly]

really digging the cabin

[bbblackwell]

Alright, brah, lemme just say this... I see a lot of stuff around and I'm not one to mark out on everything I see. This here is damn cool, and I'll tell you why.

-Scale, the most fundamental quality of a dio is there in proper proportion everywhere.
-Quality of everything was very realistic, well thought out, and looked just "used" enough to feel right.
-Fun. There's lots of dio's you can make, but this one is fun & playable, acknowledging the true spirit of GI JOE.
-Photos are situated in an interesting way, set up well, and tell a story.

And I respect a man who can dig his figures right down into the mud. They call 'em toys... and this fella ain't afriad to use 'em.

Way t' be, brother.

[Bionic Commando]

Awesome setup and pics man!

[Colonel Bludd]

i love the effort put into this

[samantha]

That is a very cool. Good job.

[renegades]

awesome!!!!

[TSgt Talon]

Very well done. Awesome Pix

[Mr.Kane]

Yo this is some of the sickest shit I've seen. This is just incredible.

[savageplay]

i love everything about that, but that house is the bomb. Did you make that? if not where is that from?

[W.O. leroy]

i love everything about that, but that house is the bomb. Did you make that? if not where is that from?

Thanks mate, I built the house from scratch useing different bits of wood, mainly a shit load of icy pole sticks lol.

[MyJoeCollection]

This goes beyond cool, I love how "real" it looks and feels, you can just imagine the Cobra's actually using this for a training location.

[Captain Carstein]

Very cool. Nicely done man!

[felks22us]

thats an awsomme set up dude . great job

[Eggroll]

Great Job man, I love how the one Soldier fell off the climbing tower and is getting treated by the medic

[storymodeller]

I love it!!! So well done!

[Spectre]

Very Cool sir

[666Werecat]

Hey Dad

[thomasseeber]

when i saw this in the background on a screen for the comic I was like...no way, did he do the whole dio just for a background shot?? that is commit-fucken-ment!

[W.O. leroy]

when i saw this in the background on a screen for the comic I was like...no way, did he do the whole dio just for a background shot?? that is commit-fucken-ment!

I did mate, all for the screens in CC's office. I worked fucking hard on that dio comic.

[666Werecat]

This rightly deserved to be front paged, the same as the others.
