Yea, and there is another cool thing about your GI Joe theme, you can take
the bad outta the Hasbro toys and make theme as they SHOULD be with your
LEGO. One that I liked as a toy when I was a kid was that Joe HAVOC
battlefield transport. I HATED that it had the driver exposed on top and
the gunners were shielded by a glass canopy!? Now, with a little work those
kind of things would be easy fixes. GREAT job on your stuff, I've been
browsing some more of your posted images since my last post, and you are
definitely on your way to Total Global Domination!!!!
