Customs / Re: GI Joe Table Work/Openings/Options.... HELP HELP HELP
« on: November 04, 2011, 02:43:03 PM »Well, for anyone interested, my name is Jeff.
As a child, I loved the GI Joe cartoon and toys. Played with everything, average kid of the 80's.
I lived in Hamilton mostly my entire life but I've moved out to Brantford with my girlfriend so shes closer to work. The fact is, we have an awesome 2 bdrm, but the 2nd room was doing nothing anyways, so she told me I could do what I wanted.
I have long been a fan of action figures. I was seriously collecting Valor vs Venom some time ago, and an ex got me to get rid of them. Big mistake. I moved on to Marvel Legends but it wasn't the same. They were too bulky and statuesque and sometimes, very hard to come by.
Another girl I was seeing got me an armadillo/serpentor 2 pack a few years ago at a Wal-Mart on a whim and I erupted back into Joes. I bought both of the non music box five packs and I was back in business.
Currently, I'm collecting 25th Anniv. figs and some vintage vehicles to round out the forces on both sides. I've also gotten into the POC line and some random items from the ROC line. I mean, even I couldn't turn down a ten dollar Night Raven, even if it's just holding a place until I get a real one.
The plan is to get a large table, to my schmatics, then use styrofoam to form the ground/base. I'm also hoping to include and incorporate a mountain range, a forest, a swamp, and hopefully by the end, some LED lights to accent the entire thing.
Planes will be hung from the ceiling. I recently came into possession of an original HQ and Battle Platform I'm hoping will eat up a chunk of the areas I'm using.
So there's some background.
