If you at my profile it says file card maker.
And I've decided to get back to basics on that. So to that end I wanted to make some more uniform file cards. Something in tune with the cards we get with modern cards. And trust me this is a LONGGGGGG run project for me, as I'm not only making the art using a combo of existing art (from the cards where possible) but transcribing and thru MS Paint retyping the file cards...making changes to differentiate variants where logical. At this point I have made cards for ALL of the characters from 82-91 including International characters and vehicles. The very BASIC template is tan with the slopped tab and red division lines...as seen below... Now with that said my 1st objective is to make a card in this style for EVERY FIGURE AND VEHICLE. If a card comes in a different color such as gray, or orange, or yellow I will also make that variant...but tan is my base color since that's the style of all modern cards. With that said my first post... Last edited by Owner of a Lonely B.A.T.; 07-27-2019 at 09:01 PM.. |

The Cobra Trooper...
1982 The Cobra Trooper (or simply Cobra) came in a few variants. -Regular Retail (Sniper Rifle) -JC Penney (Bazooka) -JC Penney (Machine Gunner) -Sears (Missile Command) ALL of which had the exact same file card. 83 also saw the Regular retail re-releases as swivel but that is more or less a Cobra Trooper with no variations in what he would do inside of Cobra. So I wanted to give each card a bit of a spin to denote that each Trooper had a different function in Cobra...in the order above... Last edited by Owner of a Lonely B.A.T.; 07-27-2019 at 09:01 PM.. |

Excellent job on them! I always make it a point to have file cards for all of my figures so I appreciate the time you spent on making these for us to view.

Are we going to see "official" file cards for Retaliation? Where would the card info be taken from? What would the card format be if not using the classic manila file folder format?

I'll need to figure that out at SOME point. But right now I'm up to 92 in file cards so thats still a ways off.
