Custom Cobra Stockade-Genetics Lab


GIJoeKing65

Recommended Posts

I just finished another one. I wanted to have a place for a make shift brainwave scanner and a lab for Mindbender. The stockade uses parts from a terror drome, Enterprise consol, Vader's Executer chair and a curved picture frame. The genetics lab uses baby bottles of all things as the storage tanks for the key leader's DNA used to make Serpentor and bacta tank from Star Wars. It is hard to see in the pics, but near the door is a display of old weapons and artifacts (Mostly from the Indiana Jones movie toys) to show Mindbender kept souvies as he collected the DNA stuff.

 

Up next is a Dred Bar w/ secret Cobra weapons storage.

Hope you guys like it!

Well, Action figure sound wave, it depends, in the cartoon, they only got samples, but in the comics they got the bodies. I dont think in the cartoon they could show that, but in the comic they could.

I liked the comic book version a bit more. It seemed darker to actually steal the bodies as opposed to just getting samples. The "Army of Darkness" figs worked well for this concept. When the skeleton figure came out in one of the Joe DVD packs, that pretty much solidified the design. People who see the display up close, in its early planning stages, always gave me a hard time about the unpainted baby bottles, but like Toiletmonkey1 said, when you find common day stuff that can be tweaked a bit to meet the needs of the dio, it is pretty cool.

 

Thanks for all the comments guys!

How come it's not part of your Big set up ?

 

When we moved into a new house, the room I got for the Joe stuff had two large closets that I could slide the shelf units into, but the water meter was in one of the closets below the current displays, so I hung the white shelves to make room for three narrower dios above it. I was bummed at first because it reduces the number of dios I will make in total, but the smaller dimensions worked better for some of the ideas I am considering making like the two you've seen so far.

 

The room doubles as a guest bedroom, so space is kind of limited.

The small details make it all.
