While the swords are drying, time to start the next piece.
Back in 1984 & 1986 Hasbro released a little battle station play-sets for Action Force/GI Joes one was called Missile Defence Unit and another called Outpost Defender.
It's a nice little set which would work well in a diorama, which leads nicely to my next project! I had looked at purchasing this set but found sellers were asking a ransom price for it, so what am I to do but to make my own!
To start off this project I built a wall similar to the Missile Defence Unit, the idea was to combine the two play-sets together. With one wall built, I moved onto the Outpost, looking at pictures of the original toy I saw that the sides are made from "wood". This gave me inspiration to use bolsa wood, cutting out the 2 lengths 2.5" x 4.5"to build the sides, a 1" x 1" square to join the sides together, it is now starting to take shape!
