G.I. Joe Battlefield Terrain Project

- This a close look at my G.I. Joe battlefield project. It took me about 7 months from start to finish, and I'm very happy with the results.
If anyone has any questions on how I made anything, please feel free to ask. The community has been a great help to me, and I'm more than happy to share what I have learned.
This is exactly what I had envisioned for all my gi joe stuff as a kid looking into adulthood. Unfortunately life happened and I have hardly any of my joe toys left. Thanks for giving me a glimpse of what could have been. Great job on your project.
My parents got rid of most of my Joes growing up. I only had a few let that were a tin I had in a box. I had to basically start over. Luckily one of the ones I still had from childhood was my v2 Snake Eyes.
Millions of 80s kid all had this envisioned, i am just glad i found out one of them actually made it come true.
Nearly word for word what I was scrolling down to type.
@@gijoeycrafts Same here, my mum got rid of all my figures and vehicles after I joined the military. I had dragonfly and rolling thunder and the Chinook with about 30 figures including gung ho, outback, law and order, Storm shadow, wild Bill etc. I am thinking about trying to collect them again at 45 years old! But this display is amazing, I would say only one thing, I would add extra supports under the tables but that’s just me ha ha. Awesome display. 👍❤👍
As someone who never grew up with G.I. Joe and have never really been much of a fan of that toy line, all I can say is HO-LY COW! The collection, the craftsmanship, the details, to say it all looks fantastic would be an understatement!
Thank you so much! I've very happy with the results. I've never really made anything like this before, so it was a learning process for sure.
You deserve an award for this. Amazing, just Amazing!
Why did I click on this video? I'm now green with envy. Awesome job!
First of all you won!! I'm planning on doing this someday as well. Secondly, you have an awesome wifey! Yo joe!!
Wow just wow very very impressive thanks for sharing
This is fantastic and inspiring! Makes me wish I had the space to do something like this with my Joe collection (or that my collection was this large), but for now I’m happy to vicariously appreciate the hard work and excellent results of what you’ve done here.
Thanks! My collection has really grown over the last few years. I get a lot from flea market finds, so its usually cheaper than ebay. I'm thrifty mostly, but I also dont care if its complete, because I'm more than happy to 3D print any missing parts. I'm not one of those guys where everything HAS to be 100% original. I cant afford to be!
Wow, that's really impressive.
Amazing. A work of art
Fan-friggin-tastic!
I love it , i feel it looks just a little congested
It is at the moment. I'll be making additional segments for Jungle and Arctic areas in the future, so hopefully that'll spread them out a bit.
Yo Joe! or Cobra!? You decide, for me it’s Yo Joe!
This is the greatest toy display I've ever seen! Do you do terrain for other stuff? Maybe tabletop RPGs? Your skills are amazing!!
Thanks! I have done a few sets for my D&D campaign, but never anything this large before.
Que belleza, el sueño de cualquier ochentero y noventero❤ saludos desde Bolivia.
Bro this is fucking awesome nice work i want to play gi joes now lol😂😂
This is perfect!
Great work!!!
👏👏👏
Cobra EEL IS MY FAVORITE CHaracter
They're certainly my favorite troop builder. They just look so badass. I hope they make it in Classified scale soon.
Imagine if we had this play area back in '88
I'm 47 years old... you wouldn't believe the memories that brings back for me.... awesome job man and thanks for sharing!
I'm 53 and feel the same way so many memories. Even having starwars gi Joe wars with my friends
I’m 43 and I have started my collection, thanks for sharing 🎉
I’m 45 and a half, and I’m going to collect them again.
Same age…. My 2nd grad teacher took my Zartan away from me in class and still hasn’t given it back
46 here and 80s memories are the best
This is fantastic. Probably the best Gi Joe display I've ever seen because the figures and vehicles look like they're being played with. They look like they're in the middle of a gigantic battle. Your display has the feel of a page out of the Sears catalogs back in the day. The images we as kids would stare at for hours dreaming of our next purchases and future adventures. I'm truly blown away. Your craftsmanship is impeccable. You say you hacked at the foam, but the result looks balanced, consistent and wonderfully stylized. And that it's modular makes it all the more amazing and functional and clever. Thank you for the video, it's a great walkthrough and insight into your process. I could go on and on but I'm just glad something like this was made, that it was shared and I got to see it. Really inspiring.
That so kind of you! It does remind me of those old catalogue shoots! That, and the commercials with the kids playing with all these really cool set-ups that you know they didnt actually make. I wanted to do that for real, and as this was my first attempt, I tried my best. There are some things I would have changed knowing what I do now, but I am really happy with the overall result. Eventually I plan on making different types of terrain, like arctic and jungle, but my basement was only so big, but because I made it modular, I can add onto it whenever I can.
I can see a cross over project between you two.
@@gijoeycrafts , you know, if you had even more money, you could buy up an old warehouse or factory and have an even bigger battlefield for your collection.
Stretch goals would be to make something like this in Classified scale. Maybe someday?
Wish GI Joe sold the playsets they shower in the commercials back in the day.
OMG. I want to thank you for this. 80s kid here. These were incredible toys and still are
80s was the best time ❤
You're welcome my wife and I really worked hard on this in between sessions of vigorous lovemaking.
wow.. just wow.
Agreed
I know right! I thought MY collection was impressive. 🤣. 🖖😁🤘🇨🇦
This would have been my ultimate toy room as an 80s kid. Good job man
Man, you're killing me smalls. I so remember in our unfinished basement having the aircraft carrier on a shortened table and do battles down there with some stations etc. My one grade school buddy had the transformers and the other had his laser tag set up. We bounced from house to house with whiffle ball, walking down the crick, riding bikes down the hill to get ice cream, 10 cent boxes of lemon heads, boston, grape, etc and 35 cent packs of cards. Well done sir. Well done!
To say I'm impressed would be a complete understatement. I don't even know where to begin. All the custom touches are excellent. Each diorama section is just jam packed with so many details. And your work on the rock formations completely blows me away. What a fantastic set up!! A++
This is what I absolutely love about toys. The creativity that each person, and how that develops to showcase their collections.
Epic build Joey 😎
Thank you! G.I Joe has always inspired creativity for me, whether its playing with them in the back yard trenches as a kid, coming up with missions for them, or crafting this battlefield.
Can I come over? 😀
You did a superb job, I am in my late 40's and owned/played with many of these figures and sets, so cool to see them all together on one battlefield! (PS your wife must be a keeper since she supports your hobby)
Thank you, and she totally is! She actually tracked down a lot of the figures and vehicles for me on various toy collecting groups on facebook. Shes a total enabler.
No creo que tenga esposa , ellas no soportan nuestro pasatiempo , dicen qué las descuidan .. no quiero decir cómo termina todo , imaginen .
Can we come over and play ? 😅
I’m so very impressed! Your vision and skill makes this one of the best dioramas I’ve seen. 🙌👏🙌
Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow dueling in the corner is priceless!
I was a kid in the 80’s and loved gi Joe,that would have been my dream back then,looks amazing 🤩
Bring back so many good memories, 35 years ago, thanks for that.
Reminds me of my father's model train layout that took up the whole basement. The details they put into these 'toys' was so remarkable, from the back-story file cards, to the castings, to the quasi- put it together model vibes of the accessories, mixing real-life military equipment with sci-fi exaggeration and comic Hero characters perfectly. You cleanly set a stage to show off these pieces in an uncluttered and on-brand way to appreciate.
Thanks! I was actually inspired by from when I was a kid and a friend of mine was playing with his Joes on his dads trainset. It wasn't to scale, but it was still so cool. I've wanted to do this ever since.
Looks great also a way cooler to view these kinds of things instead of just in package on a wall.
Thanks! I'm of the "toys are made to be played with" mindset. Unless its a super rare find (of which I have none), it's coming out of the box and into battle.
@@gijoeycrafts YEAH nice!
My Dude that is awesome! I always wanted to do that and still do, when I was a kid we had an old barn that had space in a corner and I had set up a HQ and built terrain for but I only had the terrordome I never got the Joe Base or the aircraft carrier but I made due with what I had. This is awesome and great love love this gave me goosebumps!
Thank you so much! I was inspired by my own playing in the backyard as a kid! I used to dig trenches for them, and at one point even made a stop-motion movie with a friend of mine with all out Joes!
That’s what I’m currently working on is a stop motion animation featuring action force figures from Valaverse
@@kirbstomp_filmz9679 that is going to be awesome. Can't wait to see it!
This is just amazing, excellent work! GI Joe was a huge part of my childhood thanks to my cousins in the US who donated all their toys to me in the UK. I wish i'd of kept them after seeing this.....
a trip down memory lane, just watched to see how many of the figures and vehicles I had in my youth
Wowww. This is impressive. GI-JOE used to be the ultimate play experience for me.
I played with it for years. Seeing this gives me a little bit of that warm feeling back. Thank you for this video. Keep it up!
I was an artillery man in the army and I think this is 🔥🔥🔥 looks great man 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Thank you, both for your service and for the complement!
*AMAZING*
Instantly teleported back to my childhood.
Amazing dude....
Amazing job!!! Imagine watching such a mind-blowing display like this in the 80's. That's really impressive! Thanks for sharing
Dude, first class…
After the Dukes of Hazzard came GI Joe for me as a kid. This video brings it back. Great job man, thanks.
Awesome project, man! Loved all of your decisions here, and it was a bonus to see figures and vehicles I had as a child! Just excellent!
This is pretty damn cool. Makes me want to start collecting Joes again!
Just absolutely amazing ! I watched this whole video twice. I grew up watching and acting out the 1980's Gi-Joe and seen this is like speechless !
What is more fun about this video is looking for all my favorite Joe's and snake's !
Love all the details love the pose of the figures the vehicles everything absolutely amazing !
Thank you so much!
This looks incredible. Obviously a ton of talent. Can I suggest maybe covering the multi sheet mountain parts with like plaster/modge lodge/water so you don’t see the individual sheets of foam board? Would make it look like one solid structure instead of sheets stacked on top of one another.
I tried to do that to some extent with the sculptamold, but it does bother me that you can still see the layers. If I were to do it again I would vary the thickness of the insulation boards I used, and get some if the 2 inch thick boards so there would be less layers. It was a learning project, and the mountain was the first piece I did. Lesson learned.
@@gijoeycrafts I would also suggest trying to swap out the overhead lighting with something in the 5000K cool color temperature range. It may help to brighten up some of the colors and contrasts on these colorful toys.
Holy dear sweet Christ in heaven I'm so jealous of your time, drive, passion, vision, and your pocketbook (which is *much* lighter after this, I'm sure).
Awesome work, dude! Subscribed!
Thank you so much!
This is awesome! Amazing collection and the display is insane! Great work!
brings back memories of me & friends mocking up same scenario in backyard :D :D lol awesome!!
An impressive GI Joe collection, I had several of those items as a kid. ‘‘Twas the glory days! Barbecue, Storm Shadow, and Snake Eyes were my favorites.
Kind of wish it went on longer, man you've got quite a collection and a wonderful effort to display them in a meaningful way. I had to stop watching half way through to make the family breakfast and for the first time in youtube history I was more excited to get back to watching than I was to consume that Saturday morning breakfast. I don't dish out likes and subscribes often, but you've earned both.
WOW, that's high praise. Thank you! I'll be making a collection tour video soon to include all the stuff in the periphery and all the stuff I've added to the battlefield.
From one gi joe fan to another this is so badass
In the mid 80's I got roped into building a mock up of the GI Joe Aircraft carrier for some kinds my ex wife was babysitting at the time. Their parents coughed up the funds needed to buy the lumber, lights, etc, and I spent several months tying up the dining room as I built the thing. It was huge and came in three sections. Donno whatever happened to it.
Thats awesome!
Yooooooooo Joey!!!!! 🟥⬜️🟦
I'm freaking out that I had almost all of that except the carrier and tiger force stuff. Makes me want to cry that I wasn't good with my toys. Same goes for Star Wars before I was a GI Joe nut. The comics ruled it for me. They overrode the cartoon. I was so invested in the true storyline of the characters vs the surfacy mirror of the cartoons (which i did watch with avidly lol) This was such a simpler time for me and I'd do odd jobs whatever I had to do or some of the best Christmas's like when I got the Hovercratt. I loved that thing. Really neat set up man. Nice trip down memory lane.
Thanks! I still love the comics, but I do with the show had stuck more closely to them.
Very cool. A trip down memory lane. Thanks for sharing.
Wow that is amazing and awesome. I love everything you did so cool. I would love to do something like that but I don't have enough retro figures or vehicles or any base's let alone the aircraft carrier. But love what you did.
My collection has really grown in the last few years. I get my vehicles cheaper mostly because I'm always hunting flea markets and stuff, and if they're incomplete they are less expensive, and I'm more than happy to 3D print the missing parts.
Sweet collection, and the terrain looks great! Wish I had that much room to display my vintage Joes.. they're all squished onto one table. 😑
That looks amazing, I grew up with GI Joe
Super impressive. That's amazing detail. The best part is its looks functional as a play set. Great Work 😀👌
Completely fantastic thank you so much I was very enjoyable‼️
💪🏽💪🏽🔥🔥❤️👊🏽
This is a Great Display , a lot of work gone into this, i have some toys on my channel , i really enjoyed your video , thank you for the upload
That is an amazing display and it really brings all the figures and vehicles into action.
Amazing attention to detail. Great work. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing work. Thanks for sharing the memories.
I love how the Tiger Force is displayed, like an elite unit. So much awesome here. Beautiful room!
This was Awsome thank you for sharing I love it
No Robotech? Admiral Rick Hunter?
can I mail you an old vintage Gi set?
it was my father's and he passed. I want you to have it.
it's the seal with the boat. 12 inch figure?
I would be honored! You can reach me at gijoeycrafts@gmail.com
Outstanding. You should be very proud!
I just imagine some kind of Pixar toys thing happening when you leave the room at night and turn off the lights.
I do too! I'll catch them someday.
Now You need a cobra command outpost to match this
Great work! Reminds me of the distribution catalog dio's. Awesome work, Dude
I recognize allot of those vehicles. The H.I.S.S, APC, Attack Vehicle, ATV, The Dragonfly, and on and on. This takes me back. Good times. Good stuff.
This is so good, I love it! I got some good memories when you were showing some of those vehicles. The two-rotor heli and the reddish/pink cobra boat were two of my favorites as a kid.
Bro,that is supah-dope..I'm so glad you decided to share this with the world..I'm sure you've inspired so many...Lord knows you revitalized my desire to seek out a Cobra Stinger jeep..again,thank you..also,Yo Joe and COBRA!!!!
Looks great! I wanted to extend my model railroading talents to something like this. So cool! Cobra!!!!
Amazing! I used to have the Mobile Command Centre as well as Rolling Thunder. Those were the biggest vehicles of my 30+ vehicle collection. I have yet to see the Shuttle command Launch system. It was up there in size with the Flag you have there. 🤘😁🖖🇨🇦
I have seen better texturing but not on such a large scale and this is 1000x better than I could ever do. I can't imagine how long this took (7 months). Me, would be like 5y. And the memories of having some of these toys like 45y ago......😭❤😊
Hello my childhood. Nice to see you again ^_^
Miss my 80s toys. Had so much G.I JOE, Transformers, TMNT and others that just disappeared over the years
Hah! Love the mini arcade! I've been collecting those, and hope to make a little diorama, complete with a few action figures from my childhood. Planning on building little bases for them to bring them up to a better height.
Anyway, I've never been a GI Joe guy, but as a toy guy and a collector I absolutely love your display! Thanks for sharing!
Holy crap Joey! As a 40 year old gamer who has nostalgia for action figures but refuses to collect stuff I live vicariously through you guys. Keep it going.
This is amazing! Great job! I've wanted to do something like this, but just lack the space unfortunately. Really impressive! I would love to play there.
So cool! My cousin (42) sent me (41) this and we were like awww I had that you had that, rich kids had that lol! Great vid! Thanks for sharing!
I didnt have a lot of Joes growing up, and I certainly didnt have the Flagg. I only knew one kid that did!
Epic display. Just need the Cobra A10 and Cobra SR71 flying over Cobra Base Terrordrome!
This is Freaking AMAZING 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍Just Beautiful 👏👏👏
Great video brother. That is an awesome collection. I think you did an outstanding job on the customization. Everything looks really cool. Especially the lights on the flag. I grew up in the 80s, & GI Joe & transformers were my two favorite cartoons. I had a bunch of toys from both cartoons as well. I wish I would have kept them . My best friend who lived down the street had the SS Flag too. We would play with that for hours. Again. Great video brother. Awesome set up. Seeing all these toys again really brings back some good childhood memories.
Wow! Thank you for the trip back to my 1980’s childhood! My GI Joe battlefield was a pile of rock in the back yard.
Dude!!
Love it! This is along the lines of what I’ve been wanting to do. I’ll have to message you when I have a minute. But incredible work! Really exciting project!
#Nerdgasm
That razor wire fence is a NICE TOUCH! 🤣😂🤣 🤩🤩🤩
AWESOME!
That's really looking awesome my dear friend that looks awesome it's too bad you can't do that with transformers Hot Wheels cars my dear friend from Gabriella Rivas from Roslyn heights long island near New York City my dear friend ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Because if I was Cobra, I would build my Terror Drome a couple hundred yards away from the G.I. Joe Headquarters. 😂
This is a really awesome terrain/battlefield build! While I may not be into G.I.Joe specifically I plan on doing something similar with all of the Halo figures that I've collected over the years.
In today's world of extreme inflated collectable prices, you're easy looking at 100s of $1000s here, not that I would sell.
OMG!!! I just got transported back to my childhood. If I won the lottery, fancy car nahh, I'll get gi joes and do this
Im jealous. I had to give all mine up during a kid. Talk about scars. Enjoy your amazing collection. Cheers.
