So as longtime readers will know, one of my on-going projects over the past few years has been 1980s GI Joe in 28mm scale. A few months ago, my buddy Dave (who also printed my current crop of modern terrain) printed out a variety of GI Joe and Cobra vehicles for his own use for the GI Joe RPG, painted them up, magnetized turrets and even put decals on them all.
Last night, he handed me a tote bin full of vehicles and generic modern military buildings (Quonset huts, hangars, etc), and said, "Here, Bill, you'll get more use out of these than I will."

I'm absolutely blown away by his generosity... and now I need to plan another GI Joe game!
Speaking of...
Wargames Among the Warplanes puts on two shows per year - June and September. I'm locked in for June to run a modern "gangs fighting in the streets" game with the figures and terrain I've been showcasing for the past few weeks. But for September...I think that's going to call for a game of Fistful of Lead using my GI Joes.
Figures Purchased in 2025: 66
Figures Painted in 2025: 85
Great looking 3d prints Bill....Dave sounds like a good friend to have!
ReplyDeleteThanks, and he really is. I've known him for about 15 years through a local gaming convention, and now sit and paint in his basement every Monday night.
