Wow Ron, looking good. Your Adventure Team JOEs is looksing just fantastic. I bet the JOE Guys are just drooling all over this. From the dios the great mini-vehicles to the custom figures to the accessories you have it all covered. I need to do a front page update soon.

It is hard to believe this is winding down already!

Beautiful work Ron! MR that is some stunning work! Can't wait to see what you are cooking up! I have been toiling away on my entry and will post a few quick shots here soon. I may post some of my finished shots here as well since only 12 photos are allowed in the final entry thread.

I'm back! OK I took a few pics so you guys can see what I have been up to. Ron and I picked the same theme, Adventure Team GI Joe series at 1:18 scale. I knew Ron would create a museum quality tribute to our favorite 12 inch figures, heck we picked the exact same ones too! So I went the route of looking at this as my chance to produce my own line, actual product I would want to see on shelves if I worked for Hasbro. My idea is to give the consumer a nicely articulated action figure with a decent amount of accessories then offer small diorama/play sets, vehicles, beasts and accessory packs as well. Here is a small glimpse of the work I have been doing.


I didn't have much time for WIP pics but here is the scratch built flatbed crane attachment for the back of the 6 wheeler.
