The Battle Barge!
I always like to re purpose existing GI Joe toys for my customs. This one is close to done. There isn't really much to it. Just parts from the MCC and HQ. It just needs some more cleaning/ sanding and detailing...and guns. Lots of GUNS!

Looks great! Way better than the original. Did you know that the original one was actually a Cobra fishing boat? You see, the radars are for spotting fish. That’s why it was small and round, it wasn’t meant for combat but only for leisure. Also, as a wise man just told me, don’t trust everything you read on the internet!

I don't know, man. It's a bit far from the original pedalo for my liking. ;-)
Just playing, obviously. This is great! I was going to design my own Battle Barge at some point (because I hate the original so much that it's becoming an obsession) but probably won't bother now. Your design puts my mind at ease. Edit: I do think you could consider the original colour scheme though. |

I really like this update. It blows the original away. A launch for the raft was a nice touch and I especially love the dive hole. Very creative and nicely done!

That's the plan. The radar part I want to paint that red/ maroon color along with any guns. I really want to match the color, but it's a bit hard to find. If anyone knows a rattle can brand paint that works, I please let me know.

Wish I could help with the paint. Maybe a good time to treat yourself to an airbrush so you can mix a new colour? BTW Just looked at your album - great pics. Last edited by Eight; 09-17-2019 at 02:18 AM.. |
