The jail in the compound. It's small, only high profile prisoners (that Colton, Hawk and Flagg want to keep a personal and close eye on) and ones that are there for questioning, are kept at this jail. All the rest of the prisoners are sent elsewhere.
Start of it. Have to finish the towers, the grounds (which will have a helipad) and the towers on the outer wall. The idea of it being sunk into the ground is that you really can't see into the prison unless you're on the outer wall or flying over, so it's tough to get a read on the layout and you have to make your way up to get out of it, have to go thru two patroled walls and alot of open ground.

Nice. It's almost got an exotic ziggurat-like quality to it.

Thanks.
I wanted it to feel like Cobra looks at it and goes "Yeah, we're going to need some more tanks. All of 'em."

Hey Zulu, would love to see your take on a Cobra Trooper and a Viper.

Initially, I wanted to do Cobra troopers as generic private military contractor types: baseball cap with the company logo, jeans or surplus BDU pants, COTS body armour, bandana over the lower face.
As I've worked on these images though, I've grown to believe that maintaining a strong thematic link to the original character designs resonates the most, not just with me, but you guys as well. Needless to say, my idea for the Cobra troopers and the Vipers will bear more than a passing resemblance to the originals, but will hopefully look plausible as private military contractors. |

So did some work on the prison building tonight.
Hey Loose, do you recognize the vehicle out front? I need to change the color of the ATV. I found it online, it's actually pretty "G.I. Joe". It's got a gatling gun between the wheels on the front. Not very realistic, but I thought it fit the Joeverse pretty well, lol. The helicopter is an interpretation of the AH-1 Cobra, which is what the Dragonfly was modeled after. I'll end up throwing Apache's in here all over the place, but I thought I'd put a couple Cobra's in just so it look slike Dragonflys.

Do the Troopers up both ways. I'd like to see the way you just described and the "more classical" ones.

Looks like an upsized LAV-25 to me, although it should have 8 wheels.
Love the AH-1.

Stryker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I'll have to go back online and see if can find a correct one. The joys of using other people's models, they may not be right.

Yeah but what is that? I know its a real vehicle. It looks just like a LAV-25. I bet there is a French or German troop carrier like that. Are you going to park the Armory outside at all or will it go all underground. For scale purposes it's cool to see the vehicles next to the building. I remember in one Marvel comic they showed the Joes taking the Elevator down from the Motor pool and there wasn't much on the level with the vehicles. I think they put a MOBAT and the RAM in there and it looked full. Your camp/Fortress America (Decided on a name yet?) is going to dwarf the original PIT.
