many years ago i got a lot off ebay and in it was parts to a hq. already having one from when i was a kid i really didnt need another one and didnt need it taking up space in my parts bin either.
i got a piece of wood and cut slots in it to slide the wall parts in since i didnt have the floor. i also raised this up so i didnt have to cut the walls, plus i had plans for them. what you dont see is the ramps i made. i took the bridge from the bridge layer and each half became the ramp to get up inside this thing. *note* this thing has been in storage almost 10 yrs so new pics are not to be had. these pics were done as a work in progress at the time. the jail i had to make lower walls for. and i added a canon on top of the wall, think its from spare General parts. the lower part of the coms station is some wood because it was missing. i layed down some blue paper for the floor and printed out some cobra symbols for the floor and front wall. printed out some pictures of cobra's for the inside walls. the baricades are some twigs from the back yard i clear coated to keep the bark from flaking off. the barb wire is some old fishing line, i used it because it has a natural coil to it. the sand bags are castings i made from some gi joe ones. same with the brown wall, i think thats from the cobra play set shooting range. the outside of the hq's ground is sand. before everything was layed down on it i sprayed it down with spray adhesive and let it dry a few minutes then i used super fine sand from the craft store. not back yard play sand, the grain is to big. the chairs and bunk bed are from Marauders. the pictures are kinda crappy. 10 yrs ago camera's werent as good as they are now lol the finished product is more or less what you see except for the ramps. i think it came out really nice and any time ive had it on display somewhere ive had offers to sell it lol all in all it was a fun fast project i did over a weekend when i was bored. cleared out room in the parts bin to so it was a win win. now if i could only remember where it is in the storage unit <scratching my head> Last edited by Voice of Reason; 08-22-2015 at 10:04 PM.. |

Hasbro is not in the business of selling Joe toys, haven't you heard?
