What are some things that you used for GI Joes bases, vehicles, and others as a kid? McDonald's used to give these cardboard cup holders that were square and had four places for the cups. So, I use those as four places that the joes could sit and shoot machine guns, one in each direction.

Back before I got the base from a tag sale I used to build my Joe base out of a set of encyclopedias we used to have.

I used to build bases out of VHS takes/boxes on our couch. I also had a plastic gutter pipe as an escape tunnel.
We also had this steep hill behind the house where I would dig out trenches and fox holes for troops.

As a child, I used to stack boxes on top of each other, and throw a blanket over it. It was my monsters' lair, my base for my green army men, etc ... from whatever movie or TV show I had been watching at the time.

I remember cutting up cardboard boxes and building bases out of them. They where very cool looking, at least they where when I was 12.
