This takes me back to my childhood, when we used to make Joe and Cobra vehicles with McDonald Styrofoam burger boxes thread spools and BBQ skewers. This of course is light years ahead of anything 10 year old me ever made. Great job man.
Holy Crap, I have one of those mini lights. That is genius! I have a really bright small candle light globe I use as a "firepit" for a small group of figures on my desk.
I used to make my own bases when I was young, made one from a gi joe base and a work bench and made an outpost from a plastic container out in the backyard. But my favorite was the underground bunker i made from a waterproof junction box and left buried for months.
I used to make 'Secret Cobra Bases' by building them with Construx and using Legos for computer terminals and so fourth, then just half cover it with a blanket.
When I was a kid mom wouldn’t buy me a joe or cobra base or the aircraft carrier so my joe base was a bunch of shoe boxes stacked in certain ways and cobra base was books stacked like a house of playing cards and the carrier was my tall dresser cleaned off so sky striker could land on it lol
@@millcitychris4303 That would actually be quite interesting to see. Turning this castle into a Cobra Base was very fun and enjoyable so remaking the ship in Cobra Commander's image might be interesting too :).
This was a killer custom excellent work your creativity and craftsman ship really stands out. If hasbro made something like this I'd save tons of money for it lol. Quick question how did you do the flag banister in the throne room at 3:24
@@SirElyk hahaha I'm glad you guys love it! I bet it makes your editing and gaming so much better. If you guys need recommendations on anything else you know where to find me! :) It was a pleasure to be able to help you guys out. Happy new years to you guys as well!
I provided the link to the music in the description if you are interested. It is the instrumental theme from the 1987 movie and I thought it would sound nice in the background of the showcase.
Thank you all for 10,000 views, our creation has been shown to many G.I. Joe fans and hopefully has inspired many to make something of their own!

Thanks man! We are thinking of making a base for the Joes next time, so I hope you will like that too :).
GIVE THIS MAN A JOB, WE NEED THIS, HAIL COBRA!!!!
Super cool love it imagine some cobra bunkers and a bunch of cobra blue FLACKS.

Snap Crackle POP !!! Awesome custom .
I trying to do one for my 6”inch Cobra the Enemy . Great ideas 💡
Great job! I love the custom base. It looks like an official playset.
Thank you so much!
Very imaginative build! Looks completely different from what you started with and has many features I know I would’ve loved as a kid. Nice work!

This is awesome, reminds me of when I made my own vehicles and bases with cardboard and tape! Good stuff!
That's a good looking base, I would love to have that in my collection.
Nice. Very Creative. Thanks for sharing! You obviously made 4 people jealous, lol!
WoW freaking Amazing bro I love Ur custom cobra 🐍 base ... Yo Joe!
You did a really good job on this. When I first seen it I was like what? I never had this when I was a kid.
Really nice base and amazing deco
Dude, that's a pretty awesome base. Nice work, great job 👍😉
Great job! It turned out really fantastic! Hope you can build one for your Joes!
We are thinking of adding either an extension to the Cobra Base or a Joe Base in the future :)
That’s absolutely badass .
Thank you so much :)
Amazing work and detail thank you for sharing.

After seeing this you inspired me to make one like this for my 8yr old son. We took some of your ideas but we added some of ours too.
I hope you enjoyed building and showing it to him :)
@@SirElyk ya bro it's been super fun and became kinda of a hobby of mine too lol. My son just can't wait for me to finish it so he can play with it.
Great job! I love the cobra blue and the use of trash in there!
Any idea what color Cobra Blue is???
@@bucknekett34 Any dark blue paint you can find that matches the blue color of the early cobra vehicles and playsets.
That's real nice!!!! Great job!
OK, lets not bull shit... Best Cobra Base ever... The Cobra messaging at the end .... WW2 ... Brilliant...
Very cool.

Cool. I'm going to ask to my arquitech to build that for real.
That's pretty amazing :) great job.
Thanks man.
That looks awesome
Thank you :)
@@SirElyk ive been debating on finding a restoration build on the USS Flagg but painted as a cobra ship I haven't seen anybody do it yet

Nice work

Nice good job.
looks dope!

They are red velvet fabric with printed stickers. They were put on brass picture hangers, I hope this helps!
@@SirElyk thanks it does
Love it
Bro that’s awesome 🤩
What's the base structure used? It looks familar to me.
The blue pieces under the base were apart of the playset we redesigned, we just repainted it.
@@SirElyk yeah thats what I meant what was this originally
@@mistyknightsbionicarm We showed it in the beginning of the video. It was a wooden pirate castle, that we bought at Toys R Us, years ago.
@@SirElyk lol 3 times i watched this i missed that but thanks I'm an idiot
Nice!
HAH! wow this is pretty awesome
Hey thanks! Also I just realized you were the guy who sold the pc to me and my dad not to long ago. Its working great btw :)

This is awesome!! What color is Cobra Blue??
I used Rust-Oleum Painters Touch 2X Ultra Cover Paint & Primer Satin Ink Blue Spray Paint. I hope this helps!
3:26 And here we have the firing range, which never seems to do the COBRAs any good.
cobra lalalalalala
sheeesh
Your music sounds like a mish mash of GI Joe and Andrew WK
I provided the link to the music in the description if you are interested. It is the instrumental theme from the 1987 movie and I thought it would sound nice in the background of the showcase.
@@SirElyk so lets get the party, started, cuz we do what we like and we like what we do!
this is awesome
