Title: Cold War/Pulp (1982-88) style Bystanders for G.I. Joe games (two bystanders)
Post by: Katsuhiko JiNNai on May 16, 2020, 06:23:39 PM: I'm starting to paint some Cold War (1982-88) bystanders/leagues for my Pulp Alley games using G.I. Joes miniatures.
Then I have opened a topic where I will post them.
I begin with a group of generic Cold War central american Guerrillas, maybe from "Sierra Gordo" a fictional country from the gi joe marvel comics.
I was ispired by guatemala and el salvador guerrillas, the miniatures are from Assault Group, Copplestone Casting and Hasslefree.

Post by: Ultravanillasmurf on May 16, 2020, 10:44:19 PM: Interesting start.

I would suggest having a look at the Gringo's NVA.

Post by: Katsuhiko JiNNai on May 17, 2020, 12:37:25 AM: Thanks. I considered the NVA from Gringo40s, maybe I will take them for some other central america faction. I've other 6-7 TAG miniatures that I will paint as guerrillas but first I will paint a small squad of "Sierra Gordo" military junta soldiers (8 models), with miniatures and paint scheme ispired by the Guatemala Soldiers. I've commissioned a 3d printed M8 Greyhound that I will paint with a typical guatemala camouflage paint scheme and will be the vehicle of "Sierra Gorda" soldiers. Here a picture of the 3d printed model, scale 1/56.

Post by: commissarmoody on May 17, 2020, 01:15:53 AM: Those are also some cool ideas
Title: Re: Cold War/Pulp (1982-88) style Bystanders for G.I. Joe games
Post by: Ultravanillasmurf on May 17, 2020, 07:26:41 AM: I agree with Commissar Moody about the interesting ideas.

I have to ask, what was wrong wit the existing 1/56 scale Greyhounds?

Nothing wrong, the 3d print was just cheaper and I can have it from a local friend ;)

Post by: Katsuhiko JiNNai on May 18, 2020, 10:36:34 PM: An officer for the "Sierra Gordo" Military Junta. It will lead a group of soldiers against the Guerrillas.
The paint scheme is ispired by Cold War Guatemala soldiers/officers.

Post by: Westfalia Chris on June 15, 2020, 08:58:08 AM: Very much in style with the subject matter. The bright colours really evoke that certain 1980s' toys' flair.

Yes I painted it with a cartoonish style, as I yet did with the other G.I. Joe vehicles as for the G.I. Joe MOBAT:

Post by: Katsuhiko JiNNai on December 21, 2020, 06:16:44 PM: I painted two miniatures I will use as a C.I.A. advisor (for guerrillas or military juntas) and a War Phtographer in my gi joe games.
