As a kid my favourite toys was always GI Joe (or Action Force, as it was called in Denmark to begin with). I still love GI Joe and I still have a pretty large collection of the toys and I bought the re-released comic books.

I still have a box full of Action Force SAS in my loft!

I have a pretty big collection lying around here too, but only the GI Joe, the Action Force we got was the same as GI Joe, just called Action Force here.

I am still buying a few vintage figures now and then and I have been shopping around ebay, a couple of years ago, to get those I missed as a kid.

I collect to much stuff, if you ask my wife  :D

Good stuff! Jinx looks perfect!  8)

Wish I had time to get cracking on my own G.I. Joe project.  :)

I just made a blog update about my G.I. Joe project, but I will post it in full here too:

So it was probably about time I got some more done with my G.I. Joe project. For some time I have been working a bit on and off with everything, but the G.I. Joe project was  never forgotten, it has just been a bit dormant lately.

I have been buying a few new miniatures which I wanted to use, some didn't fit in, while other will need a little work.

The latest miniature I painted was Storm Shadow. Storm Shadow is another of my favourite characters from the comic book series. Some times he works for Cobra, other times for the Joes and most of the times probably for his own clandestine agenda.

I had some trouble finding a miniature I liked to represent him. There was the ninja from Reaper Miniatures, but I was never really sure about that one. So one day when I looked at the old Citadel ninja range I decided to get one of them for my Storm Shadow. it took some time, but I got him and when he arrived in the mail I quickly decided he was just too small in scale and with his crouching pose he looked even smaller compared to the Perry Miniatures ninjas.

Eventually I decided to try and put him on a taller base and I really think it worked out well. I decided to paint him in the V2 camouflage suit. I always liked a ninja in camouflage and in this carnation he could work with the Joes.


Storm Shadow and Jinx is ambushed by their renegade ninja clan.






Storm Shadow vs Red Ninja Leader.

I still think he looks a bit small, but he is Japanese after all, so it is ok and putting him on the scenic base really helped out. For now he is my G.I. Joe version of Storm Shadow. Later I will probably add a Cobra version, but for now he even out the odds with Jinx and Storm Shadow on the Joe side and five Arashikage ninjas on the Cobra side.


Some W.I.P. and scale shot.

Other than that I am also working on a Scarlett and Timber. Both are from Reaper Miniatures. I have filed and sculpted a bit on Scarlett. When she is done I will do a blog post about her.

My version of Scarlett is inspired by one on the Mini-Ventures Blog, a blog with loads of great stuff if you are into G.I. Joe. I plan to take a lot more of the ideas from there and use them on my own project. After all imitation is the sincerest form of flattery (I hope).

Nice work - scale-wise Storm Shadow looks good.

Thanks. And yes, I agree, it looks acceptable now, but without the base it would have been a mess.

Scarlett on the other hand.... she is a giant  lol

Just scratch-built a giant bucket half filled with water, cut her legs off at the knees and glue her onto the bucket. Simple!

This one is probably pretty obscure. He was never in any comic or tv show (as far as i know), but I still wanted to paint one. He is still WIP mind you, but I thought I would post anyway.

The mint green Ninja Viper. he was a mailorder only action figure. Pretty rare and I always wanted one, still do.





He will probably not be in any games. The old Citadel ninjas are awesome, but small, which is also one of the reasons why I chose this dude to be a Ninja Viper.
