What's your current project?

Delayed again. Maybe Wednesday.

Did it come today? Did it work?

[Myles_Falworth]

Mail got delayed. New delivery date is tomorrow.

Well, Myles? Did it work??? Inquiring Minds want to know...

I lucked out today. I opened up my Ebay AT search page, and lo and behold! There was a battery terminal I need for the Mobile Support Vehicle with about 30 minutes until auction close, for $12. I snapped it up, and it should be here in a few days. Could not believe my good fortune. Once it arrives, I'll be able to test the MSV and see whether the motor still works. Looking forward to that.

Here he is. I need to trim some threads on his jumpsuit, but it's nice and clean. I also have a perfect white plastic cap for him. Glad to finally have the entire 1970 Adventure Team outfitted as they were back in the day.

My vintage Gi Joe Astronaut jumpsuit arrived today! Now I have the complete uniform. I'll be suiting him up and posting photos very soon. Got the white plastic hat from Joezeta a few days ago.

Looking good!

I was digging in my Joe boxes I have in the garage a couple of weeks or so ago and found a bag of 5 muscle body Joes I forgot were in there.



I restrung my muscle body Talking Commander and here he is!



Also got another muscle body restrung, this is an Eagle Eye. I have three more to do but ran out of stuff to do them.

Man it's been a long time since I've picked up anything to work on. I've been diving into work, and getting caught up there after some time off. I don't know when I'll get back to things - but I did receive my repro decals for the MSV, and I also got a white plastic astronaut cap for my talking astronaut. Also got a helmet (missing the microphone) for my tank commander, and the last tent pole I needed for my white tiger set. I'm focusing now on decluttering the house, so I can make more room in my study, and hopefully start getting Joes up on the shelves, and vehicles off the floor. I keep thinking "next weekend", and then the weekend comes and we have so much to do, there's no energy for the basement reorganizing I need to do. Hopefully I'll catch a break soon and make some real progress. Anyway, once I have more done on my projects, I'll post the pics here. I like this forum better for photos cause it's much easier to find them again here. Cheers!

Looking good.

Made some progress on my Stuart. I need to put on Insignia and markings after the paint job below.
You'll see that I replaced the cannon with a 37 mm anti-tank gun. It looks much better on the Stuart than the original dart-shooting cannon.

Here it is in kangaroo configuration... No turret.



I moved all of the electronics out of the way. So the fighting apartment is empty, and ready for detailing.

I can also remove the top of the hull, for access to the interior. I suppose it could be an artillery hauling vehicle or armored personnel carrier in this configuration. I need to dream up an interior that will work when it's in tank configuration as well as artillery hauling or kangaroo configuration. maybe it could be some kind of adventure team vehicle. I don't know yet... That's part of the fun of customizing.

I like versatility! Being able to access the interior of the tank gives it more play value, too!

Good luck collecting the odds and ends!

[Myles_Falworth]

Looks really cool though! Nice job! I won some parts for my MSV last night. Getting a new radar dish, green locking ring, and a couple of satellites. I also will have some parts for the searchlight. Just need a good housing for it now. Cheers!

Gee, Myles, after you get that baby all cleaned up, all you will have to do is give it a lift kit and put some real off-road tires on it! ?

It really improves the ground clearance, too! Unfortunately, it kind of ruins the originality... ?
