I just finished my first Dio and first custom figures. I havent thought about GI Joe in probably 30 years but now thanks to my brother (Mikey77) and my 5 year old GI Joe obsessed son (thanks to said brother) I am once again surrounded by the toys I loved as a kid but now as a 40 year old!
This Diorama is entitled "Peace offering". The platoon of snow serpents mixed with elite Cobra snipers are being supported by a few H.I.S.S tanks that have been peeled off of the main force. Darian Entwhistle one of the snipers is ascending his first pitch to get a better position on the retreating Joes, Darian's sister was once engaged to Rip-it and prior to the offensive he had some choice words to say about her! Darian did not take kindly to it. As the Serpents and armor round the gorge, Rip-it sees Darian on the wall and tries to apologize by offering a hard salami and semolina bread!

There are still 20 things I wanted to finish or add to this dio. I've really gotten into the POC line concept with the 4 extreme environments but am really an ARAH fan at hear... which i think shows in this work. I kept most of the figures stock with some additions and full repaints, My bro Mikey77 made the sniper and spotter and I did a total repaint and accessorized them with their current loadouts. I also customized the H.I.S.S with a gattling cannon, ammo, ammo box, headlamps, cockpit controls, winch and cut the front to make it look like 2 independent tracks.

The serpent is trading his smokes to the tank gunner for being able to leave his rucksack on the tank lightening his load!
Ive got the base started for my next dio (Jungle) I saw a photo of a dio that was called "confronting Buddha" it was a vietnam 1:32 I believe which gave me the idea for this. Last edited by Gerry528; 02-24-2012 at 01:48 AM.. |
