Still works if you don't move many troops to and fro and if both the airbase and the Staten Island bases are used by regular troops. Not a secret that there are troops there, but a secret that GI Joe are based there (and with the added advantage that there's probably not a lot of need for the Green shirts to be guarding everything as that is handled by the regular occupants).

It's also where Ace and Lady Jaye take off from in issue #34.

I had a version of Pit I built out of plywood when I was a kid - it was about 4-5 feet tall, and around 2 feet on a side. Friends of mine had a woodworker for a dad and we made a bunch of furniture using his tools. Unfortunately I never took pictures, and it's since been dismantled.

Troy, AKAIK the only time the HQ's laser cannon was used was in Season 2's "The most Dangerous Thing In The World". Shipwreck uses it to fire on advancing Cobra troops, but the blast misses them (they're too close) and winds up crashing through the floors of the base.

Just looking at Beachhead v2 (YOJOE.COM | Beach-Head v2* (1993) Close Up) and he looks very much like a reasonably recent day SOF member e.g. a SEAL with a Protec helmet.
Now when I got this guy as a child he always looked pretty modern, but that was back in 1993, though I see that was around the time of the Somalia civil war/etc., and from the Blackhawk Down movie I see (assuming they got it right) that the Delta and SEAL operators were dressed with Protec helmets (or something that looked similar anyway), so it's presumably just an older look than I realised (and Rudat(?) presumably had a good look at the going operational uniform of the day too so that he could design something ahead of its day) P.S. I've got some comic scans of the PIT blueprints if people are interested in constructing a scale edifice (yearbook 1 and Marvel ARAH #22) |

Yeah, that was my plan, thought I'd do a flip up motor pool building. I've actually got the pieces to do an extending and lowering elevator for the vamp etc. (paid about 30 bucks just for that). I've looked at that grass type mat that I thought would work nicely.

I would love to have a PIT display.

I was assuming the netting is actually a balaclava, or something along those lines. I do quite like the figure though, colours notwithstanding
