So I’ve decided to make a large diorama to display my GI Joe toys, rather than just stick them on shelves.. The display centers around the GI Joe Headquarters. Overall size is 4 foot by 8 foot. The story behind it is that Serpentor and the Baroness have been captured by the Joes and Destro has hired Zartan and the Dreadnoks to free them. The base features an underground parking garage for the motor pool and on the lower level a medical facility and barracks.. I’ve started lighting and setup the alarm/PA system.. Still needing to be done are decorating the ground (making dirt, grass, rocks, and water front).. finish bottom floor (hospital, barracks, a command and control center)..
Take a look and let me know what u think YouTube- https://youtu.be/6V3i9a992-I =================UPDATE============== https://youtu.be/-vCkUMtbnt8 Updated video Started landscaping, most of lighting is finished. Rooms are created. 3 story base with original 1983 GI Joe Headquarters above grounds, level 2 consists of a large motor pool garge with ram access to ground level, the 3rd level is the heart of Joe HQ with a hospital, night club, barracks, mission briefing room, a weapons storage facility, and underground hanger with a Sky Striker.. Vehicles include Ram, Havac, Vamp, TigerCat, Sky Striker, and bomb disposal vehicle. Missing but coming soon: Mobat, whirlwind twin battle gun, bunk beds and lockers for the barracks, guns includimg ak47, ak47 w/grenade launcher, m249 saw, and 5 Joe laser rifles ——————————————————————————————————————- Newest Update Added 2 H.I.S.S. tanks, checkpoint, and more... You tube video tour. https://youtu.be/kVCO6-wfm00 Last edited by Psycoh; 07-01-2020 at 04:19 PM.. |

I've always loved the explosion effect but I've not tried to build one yet. The shots with the RAM and VAMP look excellent!
