Payload and Slipstream and Ghostrider are all great. Just great! I was thinking that payload was Jon Stewart with a stach. but he looks great.
I think the Flash figure is awesome. I'm not sure to army build him or make him the default of replace another guy who needs an update. Scarlet's head is terrible. I was hoping we may get a gung-ho figure from resolute. The 2 pack seems promising but he's too short for me. to me Gung-Ho is the 2nd biggest guy on the team, unless you add Sgt Slaughter. |

I don't remember seeing him next to other figures - is he small?

He's with Copperhead, who's another large figure.

Here's the start of the hanger complex. The 2 big ones are the Skystriker and Conquest hangers. I made them bigger then originally planned because I changed my thinking and figured that even if the Joes only had 2 active duty Skystriker's at Fort Hama there would need to be at least 1 or 2 replacement Skystrikers for the ones on the Flagg and at Fort Hama. So made the hangers bigger.
Still have to do the helicopter and maintenance hangers, as well as the Jet's fuel depot and armory and the space where all the fighters and copters park. That's an F-14 in front of the hanger. I changed the color of the pavement for this picture to make this jet stand out more. I found something, even though it looks nothing alike, that I feel works great as a substitute for the Phantom X-19. Who knows what jet this is?

The jacket is a US Air Force A2 jacket. The Air Force stopped issuing them to pilots and flight crews after World War II, so they sort of became collector's items (the original ones that is, after they went out of circulation, knock-offs became a pretty common item in clothing stores). They've started issuing them again though, after years of lobbying by aircrews (probably jealous of their Navy and USMC counterparts, who've been issued the fur-lined G1 jackets since the 1950s), although regualtions now prohibit elaborate patches and personalized artwork on the jacket back (a distinctive feature of World War II A2 jackets). I gave him a 352d Special Operations Group patch, but I don't think the details are discernible at the resolution I posted the iamge in. I also made a little Ghost Rider (from the Marvel Comics) decal for his helmet and of course, Nic Cage is a little inside joke regarding the so-bad-it's-good Ghost Rider live-action film. |

That's great. I loved the part that Hama had to come up with in the comics about how people couldn't remember his name because of the Ghost Rider comic. It was the longest time before I found out that his codename was actually Ghost Rider, I just figured he didn't have one.

Looks like the "MiG-31" used in the FireFox movie.

You are correct.
I found it well searching the 3D Warehouse and thought it would be a perfect substitute for the X-19. Doesn't look the same, but performs similar functions.

So added a couple of the "outbuildings" to the Air Field.
The fuel silos and the little building to the left is the armory. I'll probably rework that one but not sure. It's mostly underground, so the walled building is to just cover the ramp that goes underground. Close-up of the front of the silos: The fighter jet ammo resupply vehicle. The old Willys jeep with trailer is the best/only thing I can find that works good for right now. I'm a fan of the old Willys anyways. Would love to own one someday.
