I made this helicopter because I needed something that could transport a lot of troops at one time. I realize I could have picked a cooler color scheme but I wanted it to look like the non-toy transport helicopters that were in the original GI Joe cartoon. When paying attention you notice that they used them fairly often. They were always gray with a big red Cobra emblem on them. Nothing to fancy or detailed. So I wanted to give my Helicopter the same look and feel.
I also through in some pics of my sons room when set up to play GI Joe. |

Thats the first time that chopper has been the least bit appealing to me. Good job
Also, your son's set up reminds me of what I use to do when I was younger. Joe base in one part of the house, Cobra base in another (usually different floors). But I use to set up my whole room as a big joe base and my bed was always the landing strip (or the section of couch with the ottoman in the living room).

You mean the jeep? Yes it can with plenty of room. Also comes with a net that you can hang from the hook on the bottom of the helicopter and carry a second vehicle. Like a jeep, Hiss Tank, etc... Thank you for the kind words. Glad you like it. |

I've been wanting to pretty much do the same thing for some time now. That is sooo the generic cobra chopper from the early days. Even though I know you're correct with the gray...I still visualize making mine Cobra Blue with red emblems...still a simple scheme.

What was that originally? Name/line/etc.
Edit - nevermind, found information in another post. Very nice, going to have to attempt to replicate that myself now! Last edited by georox; 12-08-2008 at 10:05 PM.. |
