I've started a GI Joe restoration project with one of my buddies and wanted to share some pictures of our Cobra Commander recards.





Let me know what you think.

Looks good, If you did not have both of them there its hard to tell what one is the Kit-Bash.

Thanks. Both of these are recards. I've placed these against authentic versions and its' hard to distinguish. To prevent any problems, the word "Replica" has been added to the backs (in the bar code of the 32 back and on the file card on the explosion back).

Definitely. How did you get it to match the cardboard stock and printing? Great work.

Thanks for the nice comments. I have a blast making these.

I restore the images pixel by pixel at 600 dpi. Then I reduce the image to 200 dpi and my buddy does the color matching (not my strong point in photoshop) and physical printing/cutting of the cardbacks. The bubbles are professionally made using an original bubble as a template (although I usually make a few prototypes on my vacu-form machine in the concept phase).

I just finished restoring Snake Eyes (straight arm - 9 back) so I'll post some pictures of that recard when done.

Thanks. I'll have Snake Eyes and Firefly done in the next week or so and I've started Scarlett, Destro and Baroness. I'm trying to restore the entire line (at least through 1987). Pretty ambitious goal, I know, but certainly fun trying.
