Totally. I grew up watching all those making of and behind the scenes of Star Wars shows. I’m also a fan of Adam Savage’s tested and he’s talked about doing greeble work at ILM. I’ve done it before for miniatures but this is my first time trying it at the Joe scale.

The kids and I have been having a blast! I posted a ski jump video on my YouTube channel and a video of a Wolf chasing down Snowjob on his Polar Bear. We have to get out there before it melts!

Thanks you!

Yeah, it was fun to get them in the action! I was thinking that maybe Destro was overseeing the delivery of the new models. Adapting them to the cold weather was taking longer than expected...Empire reference.

Yes with the Baroness by his side! Maybe this prefab module is a new design he’ll be selling to Cobra. A poor mans terrrodrome.

Really like your build. Very creative. Nice job.

I know that I “borrowed”this idea from a book or making of show. When I was a kid my grandfather made me a castle. The towers were pringles cans that he modified and painted. It must run in the family.

Yeah it’s fun and satisfying to make something for yourself instead of buying it. Though this just leaves me more money to spend on Joes in some other way. Thanks!

I’m thinking I might make a couple more of these. Then create some stand alone bits like pipelines or cables that could look like it runs between them. Then they’d be configurable in different layouts. I also have decided I need a desert version to take to the beach when things warm up!

Thanks so much. I’ve been trying to get my cold weather Joes out there as often as I can. Last year we only had it snow once and it was gone in a day.

Do it. I was more into 3D printing stuff but decided to get my hands dirty and just fabricate stuff. I was inspired by the YouTube channel Toy Gigante. He’s a great fabricator and customizer.
https://youtu.be/cf2JzKohWN4 - This video where he builds a chair for an action figure really inspired me. He does tons of custom Gi Joe vehicles in Classified Scale.

Thanks again everyone. This feedback is overwhelming and means a lot. I’m going to try and put together a video of the process of making this so if you’re interested you can have all the info you need. Thanks again. Cobra!

Just fabulous! Reminds me of the Star Wars Turret & Probot playset. And I love the environment. For some reason, I just love Arctic settings best...Hoth, Scooby-Doo (haunted Ski Lodges), the Thing, G.I.Joe (issues #11 & #24).
Anyway...superb work.

[Capt OG ReadMo]

That's pretty cool! Looking forward to the video.

[TOOL]

Simple design perfectly executed. Thanks for sharing, I want to create one myself now!

[Mr Hebime]

Great job! Never would've known that it started out as a protein powder container.

[LowLight11]

Great job.

[GarterSnake788]

This is an awesome dio!

[Tim 121RVC]

Very nice work!

Thanks again for all the kind words. It's really appreciated.

I just posted a video showing how I created the Arctic Cobra Base. I tried to walk through the entire process so anyone would be able to make a similar setup. I hope this is helpful and thanks again for watching.

[Clockwise]

That is great.
