GI JOE 28mm project

[Nedo]

This is my latest project....all material of 40k, will go into this project.
Here' some pictures:

Cobra Troopers and vehicle that I called Swamp Viper Tank


Destro and Cobra Troopers


Storm Shadow and two Crimson Guard

 
Beach Head, Flint and Airtight


Bazooka, Leatherneck and Footloose


Barbecue, Duke and Dialtone


A version of the "Swamp Skyer" codename Chameleon, drived by a Cobra Viper


Zarana and her brother Zartan



All pieces are modified with parts of 40k and Mutant Chronicles minaitures, or parts of warhammer fantasy miniatures ....
Several pieces are modified with the green stuff (for example, Storm Shadow is heavily modified).

The colors have a maximum of two layers, to leave a toy effect well befitting with the old AF.

Obviously, this is just the beginning .... the cobra troopers will be minimum thirty, and crimson guard least twenty .... then I'll have to do the Eels and Snow Serpent troops.

Hope you like it !!!
PS: Sorry for some unfocused pictures ....

Now I am curious if you are planning on actually playing this and with what rules?

I think it all looks rather good but I never was a GI joe guy so take that for what its worth.

[Nedo]

I plan to play with it when all pieces are completed .... a sort of skirmish game, with personal mechanics that I created for a fantasy project ....

Billisnt! I like the representations you've made. Good use of easily accessible figures.

ndeed. Very nice and recognizeable as the different Gi Joe characters. Love this one. ;-)

Cobra Troopers and vehicle that I called Swamp Viper Tank

That turret is all kinds of silly... which, given the subject, is just perfect!

Great job repurposing all those minis and vehicles.

That's some amazing conversion work.  Took me a few minutes to identify some of the base figures you used there.  I was almost ready to ask who produces official GI Joe figs - they look that good!

Zarana & Zartan are great!

[Nedo]

That turret is all kinds of silly... which, given the subject, is just perfect!

Yes indeed I tried to recreate the style of those vehicles equipped with hundreds of missiles and guns

Thank you to all.....this work is still in progress...
Now I'm pondering to buy an F14, an A10 and a pair of Huey AH1 Cobra...
but before to realize the vehicles I will continue to build the characters....

Well done Nedo. 

[Sinewgrab]

[Freak Hair]

Nice work!  I've been pondering a Cobra project for some time. I've got the ERM cobra Commander figure, a chibi HISS in need of a bit of conversion and a bunch of the Reaper Nova Corp  figs that will become Vipers when I get around to ordering new heads from pig iron.  Until then, of course, they're all just sitting in a box...

I really like some of the choices you've made. Admittedly some of them stray a bit from the source, but your paint jobs bring them right back into the GI Joe universe and really capture the spirit of the material.  It's also great that you've shown that such a project can be done fairly inexpensively.

I really like your work. I haven't been checking the future pages in a while, so seeing another G.I Joe thread warms my heart something fierce. Well done.
