Cheap Mountain Howitzer by HUNMARINE

[HUNMARINE]

Still continuing my "make G.I.Joe vehicles/play sets by yourself" project))

Today we continue with the Mountain Howitzer. It was made out of the CORPS howitzer and garden tube connectors)))
I tried to make all its playability, so you can put shells into the gun and close it. All the accessories can be placed onto the gun while it pulled by the VAMP.

Also tried to make the box art scene, but due to the lack of Zap figure in my collection - I used Bazooka instead - sorry for that =)
Hope you enjoy the photos.

Still have a lot of ideas, so this project wll grow further)
Thx for watching!

This is great. I like the way you use "found" items to pull these off.

 

[HUNMARINE]

Thank you Tapper =) Yup, its my main idea - use cheap and everyday items, so it can be done by anyone who want to do the same.

Nice! I want those 1:18 A-Team figs so bad.

 

[HUNMARINE]

Thx! =)

To be honest - I won't recommend them. Not the best design and have some troubles right out of the box.
Hannibal - his right elbow was stuck - so needed to broke and than repair.
Baracus - the same elbow thing + his head was glued on the peg...I've tried to heat or something - but the peg broke, so I repaired it too.

And sure you need to cut a bit of biceps from insides and breasts from the sides, or they won't ever hold their rifles naturally.

Well..even with this, I'll try to find the rest of the team and of course the van...someday =)
