My take on GI Joe HQ, almost done but good enough
for pics). I got the RoC Pit for Christmas and this is the
start of what I've been able to do with it.

The wood was cut this last Tues from scrap.
I designed it myself to fit my space--it is not a prefab desk.

Overall area:


Briefing area and command center


Scarlett giving Briefing using HDTV


Gen Hawk and Command Center


Shooting Range


Watchtower 1: LAW


Watchtower 2: Outpost Defender


Snake Eyes' Dojo (unfinished)


Stockade:


Basement 1: Medical bay, Barracks, Rec, Storage


Basement 1: medical bay


Basement 1: storage area


Mid floor: Ground vehicles


Ground floor: Imaginary River Cave Exit for Night Landing,
Rhino, and Dragonhawk Mk II


Front cannons w/ Gunnery stations

I can't believe that you're actually making me think of buying a Pit! Damn you!

Seriously, this is wicked cool. I love how you integrated the LAW and the Outpost defender. Added bonus, it seems to take up a small area, but have the capacity to display several figures and vehicles in a very dynamic way. Great work!

I do have an idea as something you could add. The space in the middle (behind where Gung-Ho is standing) could use a guard tower, a comm tower or a radar station or something to give an extra level to the base. Just an idea.

Wow, if Hasbro had concentrated on making it as fun as you did, maybe they could have avoided the "Giant RV of Doom" mode. Lookin' good!

Hehehh... I knew when I got it for Xmas, I had two options, either return it,
or rise to the challenge and try to customize it and make the darn thing work.
I only wish the wife had got bought it on sale or clearance no matter how much
she says "I'm worth it".

The guard tower is a great idea, I've been thinking of buying one / two of the PTE ones
from Big Lots anyway. Didn't do it b/c there's no room in the front, but didn't think of
the back. Will check the space and see if it'll fit.
