I have been planning out a doll house for my daughter, and it got me thinking about building a headquarters for my son to play with his G.I. Joes (it is going to be about 4 ft by 4 ft and mounted on the wall). I am about half way through the design, and was wanting some good design ideas for it. I actually found this forum trying to find similar projects on the web, but zero luck. Does anyone know of any resources, or pics, or have any advice? So far, i have lots of stairs, working lights, elevators trap doors, jail, and the war room has a 3.5 inch LCD that i will hook up so he can watch TV while he plays, and use it with his GI joes too. It is six stories tall (i made the ceilings 8 inches so he has enough room to reach in an play without knocking eveything over) and 11.5 inches deep.
Any help is appreciated. |

Perfect... We got him the Pit for his birthday, and that was my plan also. I am going to use the parts from it for several of the rooms. I have been wondering if that would be a mistake, or add a nice touch. It is so hard to store, and he loves taking things apart, so it looks like it will be time well spent together, and a great touch to the building.
One other addition, since it is going to be hung on the wall, i was trying to figure a way to make it look like a flying/hovering type of command center. So if anyone has any thoughts on that too. I have been using google sketchup (a free 3d modeling tool) to design it, maybe i can post the plan when i get it done. Hope to start building it this week. |

i assume you will be making this out of bass wood or some sort of wood species like that? or a pine? or 1/4 ply? i don't have any ideas for a hover type command center. but here's an idea. this is a doll house, but if you take the idea and make your own out of it, it would be cool. like mentioned you can print out layouts for the walls from joedios.
