Uss Flagg Gi-Joe base/table(update 6)

[@mzsherman]

This may be hands down one of the best displays I have ever seen. Amazing work, craftsmanship and an incredible collection.

[@thegoodybarn9060]

Its the best that I've seen.

[@simonbellmont]

I don’t get it…is the lower part underneath the Flag supposed to “new” lower levels to the battleship.

[@ryguysci-fi1338]

It’s a underground/ undersea base the elevator brings things up to the surface

[@Gijoeottrod]

I love the detail of all the aftermarket items you have used in the lower levels to make a laundry room, mechanic area, barracks, motor pool, etc...

[@Christianjs1982]

Outstanding!!! Piece of art!!!

[@sirdaveysockrocker]

that warehouse looks big enough to where you could build a 1/12 scale GI Joe Classified USS Flagg.

[@thenerdcomicbookco.est.1966]

This is a great piece of work and offers inspiration for creating displays for other collections. You know it's great when you can't even put a price on it.

[@baljazz]

This is what I am talking about. Trying to figure this out for my tmnt collection. Want a tri city level diorama about 10 feet long. Trying to figure out how to make a cabinet with shelfs that long with no dividers.

Is there a way you can use cameras to see ‘top down’? Could even make it so it appears-you’re seeing-top down from an aircraft! Trying to think outside/above box. Continue on. Again, masterpiece! Cheers

Very interesting I can definitely try to figure some thing out! Thanks for the interest! I will have more to come!

[@Gijoeottrod]

I am slowly gathering parts for a Flagg build. Till then I ordered a Chap Mei Submarine to lightly mod and the Chap Mei Battleship to also mod. The battle ship is ALOT bigger than I thought. It's like 47" long and almost 10 wide. It's missing the back helicopter landing but I ordered a Click n Play landing pad to attach back there for the Little Bird. Lots of mods planned for it. I purchased a bunch of broken Shipwreck figures and Dread Knox Tourch hips and legs as his pants make great kitbash Navy personel. I have 5 variants of Black Major Navy crew man to go aboard her with Top Deck, Torpedo, Shipwreck and Admiral Keel Haul

Nicest Flagg display yet. I have always wanted to do a home made Wayne Manor/Bat Cave on long the same lines. I think you might have inspired me.

[@TheStugbit]

Nice job, dear fellow. All those inside details in the carrier and the underwater base you added yourself individually, right? You got even the metal pans in the kitchen. Impressive level of detail. You need now to provide some support vessels for the carrier perhaps. A cruiser or destroyer made in the same standards. Perhaps a landing ship too to relieve the carrier deck of aircrafts as well. You can extend the table in the same patterns, perhaps making a bad guys base on the other table. Working wood alongside a 3d printer you can make yourself your own GI Joe sets. Kind regards!

[@ChristinanathanWesterfie-pr4jj]

You not only forgot the gym/weight room but ya got her bogged down with soo much clutter and theres heaps of overhead space, just hang the big birds and put more vessels in the "water" then place more figures into the "landing party". I dig how much more space you gave her but the flight deck ain't looking much better than the top of a dresser before getting the F.L.A.G.G. for Christmas lol. Cheers!!

[@jacobfoster9185]

Spectacular ! I don't understand what the bottom levels are ...extension of the Flagg or a cobra submarine ? Why does Dr mind bender have a space there and a B.A.T. in the mess? Not criticism. Genuinely interested.

[@ryguysci-fi1338]

So when I started building the Flagg. I knew I would need some sort of table to display it on. The table eventually evolved into an underwater base, and once I started building it I had already purchased several cool cobra piece. Dr Mindbenders lab had to be included! The idea is the Joes captured him and put him to work….lol thanks for the interest!

I got some transparent lens light plastic sheets then trimmed it to fit the openings it needs to be slightly over sized and used E6000 glue to hold it in place.

I got the shape of the bow by grinding it down slowly with an angle grinder and flap disc. Hope this helps!
