Well, started to make some headway on the Joe room yesterday. Packed up 6 garbage bags of, well......garbage, paper, packing stuff(packing popcorn, bubble wrap, etc) and have at least 20 boxes ready to burn in the fire pit some night this week. It's only 43 degrees right now, was 39 about an hour ago :( so a nice bon-fire will be great! Still have probably another 10 garbage bags worth of junk to bag up today and a couple more boxes for the firepit too. Seperated out the good useable boxes and there's around 25-30 of them so you can imagine the mess that was in this room.
Once the room is cleaned out good, I want to get some new carpet, insulation, dry wall, paint and put up some new shelving units to display everything. In the center of it all is going to be the loose Joe stuff on display and it will take up quite a bit of space. After seeing Bats pics of his Flagg, I'm seriously thinking I need to find one now since that was one of a select few items that I never have had from the 80's G.I.Joe stuff. Never had the Joe base either and that's about it. had everything else all the way up to 1989 and then sold the whole lot for $200-$330 to a friend in 1996. I really wish I would come accross a Delorian with flux-capacitors one of these days because I know exactly what my first travel back in time would be!

Definitely loving it. Quote:
Cover Girl is in a state of semi-done. General Rey needs to be painted. Ice Cream Soldier needs to be assembled. Modern Sci Fi is almost done (needs touch ups). Classic Leatherneck needs painting. saddly Airtight got shelved. Greenshirt Pilot is in the works (need to sculpt helmet) Modernized D-day is finished. (sorry, nothing like the original) And I believe you've seen Lifeline, Med Alert and Dial Tone http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...dial-tone.html |

Tell me about it, the worst thing is most of it is from the items I've bought off ebay or here or traded for from here. There's also an old dishwasher in the corner..........think he's dead? No, it's a kenmore dishwasher and that needs to be hauled away to the junk yard. Other than that stuff, everything else is pretty easy to bag up and toss in the garbage so hopefully soon I will be able to unpack all of my Star Wars/G.I.Joe/comics/cards/autographs and display them and take some pics.
Starting to get some of the old vintage Joe stuff again, miss my old childhood collection now. Have a 100% complete W.H.A.L.E., 99% complete Phantom X-19, 9 100% complete W.O.L.F.s, 1 100% complete Mamba, 1 99% complete Mamba, 1 100% complete Maggot, 2 98% complet Maggots, 1 100% complete Mobat, 6 100% complete H.I.S.S. Tanks, 2 99% complete L.C.V.s, 1 100% complete Wolverine, 1 100% complete Sea Ray, 1 98% complete S.N.A.K.E. Suit and 1 98% complet A.S.P. so far. Had a 100% complete Warthog but now it's in the process of becoming a custom Crimson guard urban strike team troop transport vehicle.

OY VEY! 12? AWESOME!!
Definitely loving it. Yep. He is currently in production (working on the vest tonight and tomorrow). Cover Girl is in a state of semi-done. General Rey needs to be painted. Ice Cream Soldier needs to be assembled. Modern Sci Fi is almost done (needs touch ups). Classic Leatherneck needs painting. saddly Airtight got shelved. Greenshirt Pilot is in the works (need to sculpt helmet) Modernized D-day is finished. (sorry, nothing like the original) And I believe you've seen Lifeline, Med Alert and Dial Tone http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...dial-tone.html You know, Sci-Fi was always kind of one of my favorite Joes. Is he the bright green like the OG version or is he going to be more ROC like? Ever think about doing a Sneek-Peek or Crazy Legs?

Darker green (less eye-strain). Also, no more holes in the silver vest. That was dumb.
I should have some up in the next few weeks. Want to do Sneek Peak, but don't have the parts. Also, going to do Bombardier (that mystery Flash repaint that showed up a few months back) with my spare flash. |

Mostly though it has always been Cobra that are my favorites................ Isn't Bombardier going to be packaged with the Polar Sharc?
