Hey everyone!
First post. This is my current project: a 3-4 tier city for Joes, BFS, Marauders, all the 1:18 gang. My plan is to build it mostly out of existing play set components and props wherever I can so that as you look around it, there’s a piece of our childhoods everywhere. Tons of Easter eggs, custom characters, and as many scale figures as I can fit. All suggestions and advice welcome. This is an ongoing project that I’ll document here. The lowest level, naturally, begins with a sewer… To the Mods: the theme of this build isn’t exclusively Joe, though they will be a heavy part of the landscape and population. So, if you feel it’s too divergent from the forum theme, I understand. Thank you. Warning: some pictures may depict adult activity such as smoking, drinking, physical contact and scantily clad Joe-Hoes 😁 |

That’s the ‘93 turtle lair for the sewer level, of course, I’ve got some imaginex pieces to go around the street level and upper tiers. It’s going to look like a poverty-stricken sci-fi cityscape.
I’m actively looking for some Joe-specific platforms, accessories, and walls that aren’t in great shape or part of a complete unit (I really wanted these things as a kid, but couldn’t have them. So I hate destroying anything complete). The goal is to have all these pieces blend into the diorama so that as you look through it, you can spot all the little details and Easter eggs.

Still waiting on some Joe and Star Wars bits. So, until they get here, I’ve added the street level and some buildings. The little shops and kiosks will be be pretty heavy on the Star Wars motifs, but the rising levels and platforms will be as much Joe as I can squeeze in. Plus, an elevated club/bar with none other than Quark slinging cocktails!

Cool. The first post, it looks like a frat house, if people carried rifles around frat houses.
