Phenomenal. I’ve been wanting kits like these for years - there are a lot of potentially fantastic ways that many existing vehicles could be improved up or retrofit for other purposes. I wish I had the ability (and time) to realize some of the ideas I have 😬
MIND. BLOWN. I feel like I just took the red pill, this is EPIC! What a game changer! I can't afford a 3d printer, but this is making me look at my pile of styrene with renewed interest. Keep being awesome! Thank you so much for sharing this!
This is what I prefer to see with 3D Printing. Making new things to expand the play-ability of the Original Line, rather than just 3D Print what already exists.
Sean, I'm so glad to hear that. It's really amazing to me to know that there are other Joe armies out there all using the same recovery vehicle. Thanks for the comment and for supporting the project.
I do sell it in our Etsy store but it’s currently sold out. The link is in the video description. I add new things every once in a while. Thanks for looking.
That's what I'm struggling with now. Creating some type of clicking joint that'd be strong enough to hold the crane in place. I might just settle on pins that can be removed then reinserted at various heights. It's surprising how much force is on that joint when there's a load at the end of the crane. And the 3d resing prints aren't as resilient as plastic. Thanks for watching!
Thanks. I don't think I did. I have a lot of How To videos I never did. I'll have to go back and do a few. I made a motorized version of this. It's really cool. Just push a button to make the winch pull or release cable.
If only you can make it into a true scout tank with a full size turret big enough for one figure to fit in it. That would be awesome. Keep up the good work. #YoJoe 👊😎
I was thinking of a mine clearing device for a next project at some point but more like those rollers or maybe the flail they put on tanks that'd spin and smash the mines. Thanks for the ideas.
This is awesome. Definitely interested in picking these pieces up, if possible... I also have a GI Joe related proposal for you, that might be of interest to you as another couple of Joe vehicle options, if there's a way to reach you more directly...? Thanks and this kit looks fantastic, btw.
I'm just trying to work out some of the joints before I offer these to anyone. I really want these to be playable. I'll make sure to post when I have everything worked out.
nicely done! it sure beats the trailer thing - towing Hasbro tried to sell us. just how hard was it for them to just take the base of another vehicle like you did, and offer us something worth the joe line? I never bought it, it did nt help that the colours were right out of some circus. it lacked serious realism, not mentioning that it s weight could nt handle most vehicles. it s obvious most of us thought the same, as it remained on shelves it s whole life cycle. most of those little kits - vehicles, were afterthoughts, bikes, snakes, claws, battle stations, were cool, but the rest was a waste of shelf space. I can t wait to see the final product! good work!
So what colors are you going to repaint the vehicle? I think the grey of the parts you have with some urban camo like Firefly would look really cool. Or at least be usable to repaint one of your other customized Wolverines.
I'll probable repaint the parts and wolverine chassis to match. I'm going to do some tests with the krylon camouflage olive. I'd like to try and make the new parts looks stock. Thanks for watching.
@@ActionRobotPunch Cool. Say you going to make a Ton Up (aka the Action Force Wolverine driver who was...basically just Rock and Roll) to be the driver of your custom vehicle?
@@FanboyimusPrime I didn't know about that character but that's a cool idea. I'll have to research that. I've just been using Covergirl or Bazooka or Heavy Metal. It'd be cool to snag a character from overseas. Thanks!
It’s a resin print so I could try using some green resin. I’ve added tint to resin before but with mixed results. I should experiment some more. Thanks for watching 👍
@@manofaction1807 Great. There have been some requests for more sets so I'm working on a second run. I'll put them up for sale tomorrow night probably around 8pm EST. Thanks for the interest and support.
This is so great, my dad had these vehicles and figurines back then when he was a kid. He loves GI Joe while growing up and have been a fan of Hasbro's GI Joe for 30 years. And I love the app and the Software, what's the title of the app and the software? Because I can't wait to get started designing on my own vehicles.
Yes, I finished it. Check out this video to see it in action. th-cam.com/video/tA5ZPLEaVoI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ilO6KQ4xMq7n1pod I also made a motorized one that I need to do a video on! Thanks for watching.
@ActionRobotPunch ha! That was an awesome video!! I was looking at trying to get a crane but I see you're sold out. I might try a Mobile command Center Crane or the USS Flagg crane for my project.
If I get the bugs worked out I'm planning to make some extras to sell but it'd be more like $60. It's a lot of printer time and resin. I also would just rather spend my time making new stuff. Thanks for the interest and for watching!
I created a few kits and put them up in our Etsy store. Thanks. etsy.me/3Fp1xYF
That's amazing, I love how you repurposed a vehicle that normally would have been stripped for parts or would have cost a fortune to rebuild.
Thanks. I really appreciate that. Exactly how I feel about “saving” an old toy.
Phenomenal. I’ve been wanting kits like these for years - there are a lot of potentially fantastic ways that many existing vehicles could be improved up or retrofit for other purposes. I wish I had the ability (and time) to realize some of the ideas I have 😬
It is fun thinking about other ways to use the vehicles. So many possibilities. Thanks for watching.
There's so many broken vehicles out there just begging to be repurposed like this as well.
MIND. BLOWN. I feel like I just took the red pill, this is EPIC! What a game changer! I can't afford a 3d printer, but this is making me look at my pile of styrene with renewed interest. Keep being awesome! Thank you so much for sharing this!
You could totally make this from styrene. That's a great idea. Thanks for watching.
This is a fantastic idea. Great job. Very original customizing work. 👍🏻
Thank you!
This is really terrific. I hope you will make the STLs available for sale on your website or some other venue. I would love to buy them.
Maybe at some point. Worth considering. Thanks!
@@ActionRobotPunch please DO consider 😉. Your work is beautiful.
Absolutely fantastic work. Keep the community posted if you make them available for sale. I'm in for at least two sets. Love the channel👍
Thanks so much. I'll be sure to post when I get some done. Working the kits now.
Awesome video! Love the behind the scenes and detail on how everything works
Thanks Sarge! I've always be a fan of "The Making of.." types shows so glad to hear others like this.
@@ActionRobotPunch thoroughly enjoyed it. Very creative and thought out process. Thanks for sharing!
This is awesome. And thanks for making the custom kit available.
Thanks so much 👍
Wonderful ideas and work. I’ll be happy to buy one of these kits!
Thank you. I'm hoping to make some more kits at some point and put them on etsy.
This is what I prefer to see with 3D Printing. Making new things to expand the play-ability of the Original Line, rather than just 3D Print what already exists.
I love creating something new and original. Thank you.
It’s great to see stuff like this, I hope I can enjoy something’s Like this for my Classified figures 👍
Thanks 👍
I have this set and I love how it turned out!
Sean, I'm so glad to hear that. It's really amazing to me to know that there are other Joe armies out there all using the same recovery vehicle. Thanks for the comment and for supporting the project.
This is fantastic. Great work and idea.
Thanks so much.
Nice work bro, true GI Joe fan!!!
Thank you!
great job love the design
Thanks so much.
So cool man. Thumbs way up.
Thank you 👍
Bad ass!!! You should sell that that conversion kit for the Wolverine on Ebay
I do sell it in our Etsy store but it’s currently sold out. The link is in the video description. I add new things every once in a while. Thanks for looking.
Made a gear design very similar to the click cannon feature the kenner org falcon had? Might even add a spring tension opt

If you ever print out more of those, let me know, I would LOVE to purchase some.
Will do, thank you.
Did you ever do a part two of this video? , it’s awesome!!!
Thanks. I don't think I did. I have a lot of How To videos I never did. I'll have to go back and do a few. I made a motorized version of this. It's really cool. Just push a button to make the winch pull or release cable.
Please add more of these kits to your Etsy page.
I’ll try and do that when I get some down time.
If only you can make it into a true scout tank with a full size turret big enough for one figure to fit in it. That would be awesome. Keep up the good work.
#YoJoe 👊😎
I’ve thought of making a turret for this. A small light tank. Maybe a TOW launcher similar to the m2 Bradley turret.
looks awesome
Thanks!
Could make some shovels and put them on the Wolverine chassis for mine clearance
I was thinking of a mine clearing device for a next project at some point but more like those rollers or maybe the flail they put on tanks that'd spin and smash the mines. Thanks for the ideas.
Cool i also have made some custom gi joe things before
Awesome. Thanks for watching.
That is great. When are you sending me one?
LOL it's in the mail along with your check :) Thanks for watching.
This is awesome. Definitely interested in picking these pieces up, if possible...
I also have a GI Joe related proposal for you, that might be of interest to you as another couple of Joe vehicle options, if there's a way to reach you more directly...? Thanks and this kit looks fantastic, btw.
Thanks for watching and glad you liked it.
So inspiring bro
Thanks so much.
super cool, amazing conversion, can I purchase one?
I'm just trying to work out some of the joints before I offer these to anyone. I really want these to be playable. I'll make sure to post when I have everything worked out.
Very nice
Thanks William. Always appreciate your comments!
nicely done!
it sure beats the trailer thing - towing Hasbro tried to sell us.
just how hard was it for them to just take the base of another vehicle
like you did, and offer us something worth the joe line?
I never bought it, it did nt help that the colours were right out of some circus.
it lacked serious realism, not mentioning that it s weight could nt handle most vehicles.
it s obvious most of us thought the same, as it remained on shelves it s whole life cycle.
most of those little kits - vehicles, were afterthoughts, bikes, snakes, claws,
battle stations, were cool, but the rest was a waste of shelf space.
I can t wait to see the final product!
good work!
Thanks. I love this support stuff.
@@ActionRobotPunch I think we all do, too bad Hasbro was not as interested.
So what colors are you going to repaint the vehicle? I think the grey of the parts you have with some urban camo like Firefly would look really cool. Or at least be usable to repaint one of your other customized Wolverines.
I'll probable repaint the parts and wolverine chassis to match. I'm going to do some tests with the krylon camouflage olive. I'd like to try and make the new parts looks stock. Thanks for watching.

@@ActionRobotPunch And Ton Up was just a V 1.5 Rock and Roll with a new name.
Amazing! How can I buy it? Thanks
I sell them in my Etsy store but I’m out of them right now.
😎👍
Can you cast this in OD green, or do you have to paint it?
It’s a resin print so I could try using some green resin. I’ve added tint to resin before but with mixed results. I should experiment some more. Thanks for watching 👍
@@ActionRobotPunch I've sent you a message via Etsy store, just let me know. I'll hook it up next week.
@@manofaction1807 Great. There have been some requests for more sets so I'm working on a second run. I'll put them up for sale tomorrow night probably around 8pm EST. Thanks for the interest and support.
I will like to know how can I get this ithen. Well will you would make more.
Many people have been asking for this so I might make some more and put them up in my etsy shop later this year.
i want a kit!
Once I have all the features worked out I plan to produce some for sure. Thank you.

Thanks great. I use Shapr3D on the ipad pro. Good luck with your designs and thanks for watching!
Did you ever get it figured out? I would like to buy just a crane from you if it did. I have a custom build im doing myself
Yes, I finished it. Check out this video to see it in action. th-cam.com/video/tA5ZPLEaVoI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ilO6KQ4xMq7n1pod I also made a motorized one that I need to do a video on! Thanks for watching.

How much did the kit sell for I see you're sold out
I think I'm selling them for $78. I'm probably going to make some more after the holidays. Thanks for checking this out.
Nice would you sell me kit $30ish
If I get the bugs worked out I'm planning to make some extras to sell but it'd be more like $60. It's a lot of printer time and resin. I also would just rather spend my time making new stuff. Thanks for the interest and for watching!
Ok well keep me in mind and I understand overhead cosst :)
@@ActionRobotPunch Count me in I'll drop $60bucks on that no problem Great work
@@phoenixrichardson1261 same
Sign me up for a 60$ set I’d love to assemble and paint up one just like this!
I would like a kit. None on etsy? Please contact me
