That castle your grand dad made you is awesome.

Looking at it I imagine that tower is just a periscope-like extension from a larger base or vehicle beneath the ice. Cool idea for a simple but atmospheric addition to the Cobra forces!

Wow. Kudos to you and your grandpa

This is some of the best work I've seen in dioramas taking some the most simple things and making it into a work of art is no easy job. overall great video

Oh that came out great! Thanks for the tutorial 🤘🏽

Love this, My grandson was given a small suitcase full of action figures not just G.I. Joe's but the knock-off from like Dollar Tree, Dollar General and "Military" figures from Wal- mart too so I'm going to build him a homemade for his play room with both "good guy" and "bad guy" bases but I'm basically like a post apocalyptic bases, like the war between G.I. Joe and Cobra is over, they destroyed each other and they joined forces with their lesser known counterparts and combined into 1 group to keep fighting.

Nice. Looks great. Defintely looks like a back entrance to an artica base.

Really you could make one for any terrain. Camouflage it and it fits in a woodland playscape. Great job!

Those miter/razor saws are awesome, way better than a dremel that leaves nasty cuts.

Ladder would look cool hanging from the top, like a drop-down to avoid unwanted murderers using it to climb up.

Very good. You have lots of imagination and skills. 10/10

As for me who is just recently getting back into the 3.75 scale. I really appreciate the information you have. I want to get into customization with bases and other stuff. You sir have my attention.

Great idea! Thanks for sharing!

Very cool and imaginative.

This was amazing! I'd love to see more creations like this 😎

Awesome! Wish i would have thought like that when i had my collection. Yo Joe!

Very nice awesome paint job and looks fantastic in the snow.

That castle is so cool.

This gives me inspiration for my own future base for my action figures. awesome custom base dude.

Dude this is super rad! Thanks for sharing this video! I really appreciate how you take the time to explain things simply and encouragingly. I'm looking forward to your desert base and other variations! Yo Jobra!

Sorry, this is 9 months old so it's necromancy, but I just want to say I really like this, and I'm stealing the idea. My version is going to be a submarine tower, so it looks like it's breaking through the ice, but thank you for giving me a new project!

That is incredible! I really like how that came out. =D It also looks like one could make a sci fi variant on that as well.

Lots of good info here. I enjoy the pace and detail of how you explain your process, and the finished product looks great!

Awesome build really gives me some great ideas

Awesome build!💥😯👏🏿👏🏿😁👍🏿

This is a absolute blast of a project I'd like to make one similar!!! I hope to see more scratch built projects!

You can use the grooves in your mitre box to draw straight lines on tubes too

Awesome work! Can't wait to try this out

This is an excellent build. The coffee ring to fix the curvature of the top section is ingenious. This is something I've tried to fix many times less elegantly and less successfully. Good advice about the asymmetry of detail and shape composition, as well. If you'll permit me to make a few suggestions from my experience creating structures for tabletop wargames, I would fill in the gaps on the side of the light/sensor above the door and the angle brackets around the circular rim using either thin plasticard cut to shape, chipboard, or for smaller gaps, just fill it in with sculpting putty. Once the base coat is dry, you can bring out the details, especially on the machinery and access panels, by hitting it with a wash of very watered-down paint. White can be difficult to wash without making it look gray, but if you use the right shade and limit your application to the areas you want to accentuate it will work. And you can always drybrush over the sections that are too dark. Finally, you can get a more controlled application of weathering by speckling the darker paint on with a sponge.

Cool work. Between your vids and Chris Shales(Empire Toy Works), makes me want to construct a whole new room (or building!) for dios.

Oh this is really Nice!! and is making me think of all the things I could make with the dozens and dozens of old G.I.Joe vehicles, figures and playsets I have in storage. I love this channel.

Great work, I'm always looking at the shape of random objects trying to imagine what part they could become for a diorama or other craft project. And thanks for the tutorial links.

Really glad I found your videos. Really fond memories of my GI Joes (Action Force in the UK) . I’ve kept a few of my favourite characters and my comics but unfortunately not my figures. Seeing your videos makes me regret selling them off many years ago! Subscribed 😊

Yes i did the same thing. I had all the guys but not many vehicles. I made alot of trucks. Tanks and helicopters. Another reason to have kept my joes but i had to leave them.

Very cool

cool channel and greets from Venezuela

Now you know. And knowing is half the battle👍

Compliment for your work!!!

Looks great, love it! Subbed.

BIG APPLAUSE, subbed, liked

Looks better than GI Joe bases I had when I was a kid. Had I seen this back then I would rather have had this. Please build a better terror drome than the crappy one sold in stores and now ungodly priced...

It would be cool if you did a jungle and desert themed version as I plan to do a jungle display for my G.I. Joe predator crossover jungle assault display.

This might sound strange, but I’d love to learn how to make transport storage containers for joes and cobra weapons. Kinda like crates or metal looking stuff that holds weapons and explosives that cobra could “steal” and take to their base.

Great tutorial!!

Your granddad was on Legend status.

Amazing! ! !

Awesome

Just subscribed. AMAZING content. Where were you when I was a kid???

Dude I have been thanking of the same thing

Love this!!!

add to the scene with a larger Cobra base made from a propane tank.

Awesomeness 👌

I made a serpentor sled from a joy stick controller.

Excelente trabalho

Nice little fuel station

while this is a very simple build, it looks great and would have lots of play-ability.

ARP? Look into the Cardboard cylinders that are use to make Concrete post.

Makes me think of a conning tower from a giant under ice submarine

That one joe appears to be armed with an m56 smart gun from the alien universe.

excelente

This might be a stupid idea but I want a tabletop JI Joe wargame. Like either at 28 ml scale with maybe 3D printed figures or even the normal Joe scale with the store bought action figures.

Just looks like a outpost to me.

Just a note. I see you cutting through the Styrene...just score and snap, much easier, less work.

It’s clearly the entrance for an underground base with sub pens

This SO could have been an actual set Hasbro would have put out in the day

I’m actually trying to build a 3.75 scale bunker kinda like the Dday ones but for joes and Star Wars figures

I.like Gorrillia hot Glue

There is a cobra figure with a smart gun. Did you make that? Or did it come with the figure?

I sincerely hope it's an entrance to a Cobra base cause 6 dudes and one chick and one porta-john makes people cranky. All jokes aside, nicely done.

A Trash can would have worked for the size of terror dome.

2:08 What an interesting technique. Would you mind if I use it on a future build and credit your channel for it?

As we mature as a people, I enjoy the fact that machismo is dying year by year. In regards to GI Joe you'll understand what I mean momentarily. My Dad always wanted to make dioramas of his small Army models. He didn't because he was Mr. Macho, semi pro weight lifter. As a late Gen Xer, (born in 1980), I've noticed many late Xers (b.76-82) are more likely to collect, Play with, modify, enjoy attributes of their childhood. Ie; Gi Joe, Transformers, Old gaming systems. 30 yrs ago this was impossible as the pressure to be a manly man was on 24/7. I collected Joes fall of 1985 till summer of 1991. I felt pressure than to become more involved in Sport and females. BUT deep down I would have kept playing with joes into 1992-93. As I was beginning Jr high. I started a new collection from scratch 4 weeks ago. I have 38 figures on hand and 16 in transit (get here soon!!! :) Lol ) and I ordered vehicles as well. Just like many many later Xers I also had children late. I'm 40, going on 41 in 2 days, and my oldest is 3 And youngest is 2.. I love playing action figures with my oldest. It's great!! Thanks for making this video

Onde vocë encontra essas peças plásticas?? 5:40

What is the little mitre saw? Brand?

Ssssuuuuubd
