Custom Playset for my friends across the pond!

Just wanted to share some of my downloadable files with members here.


(I completely refurbished the pics for my club's Official Exclusive, and those are completly different from these, but these were the first drafts and I wanted to share them).

I will have a completly refurbished Red Shadows H.Q. up by the end of the week, so stay tuned!

If anyone has the original bases and could sell me or send me the plastic pieces so that I could make casts I could completly refurbish these for a whole new generation.

Looks good! Welcome aboard!

Did the resurrection of the Shadows point you this way?

Hi & welcome to the site, them bases of yours look really nice
The vintage U.K. style cheap cardboard play-sets seem to popular over in the states...

Thanks and to answer what prompted my Interest, (I have 350 members here in my area and we meet once a month and discuss all eras of G.I.JOE) and lots of my members are servicemen who have been stationed ......well everywhere, and there's a large Action Force following. So when we decided to offer an exclusive for the club naturally Palitoy came to mind, but no one here had the playsets, and the scans I were able to locate had to be refurbished, but the end result was a complete sucess, we charged a small fee to members for the playsets (just to cover costs for materials, and shipping), We will be doing another print run later in the year, and we have plans to release a Red Shadows base for general download (Free for all to use). I do however need to locate an original Action Force Palitoy base, so I can reproduce the plastic pieces (I can make casts and produce the molds locally). Another advantage to The Exclusives we produced and refurbished, is that they are printed on a durable plastic material and covered in a clear vinyl to protect the print, that way they will not only last, but can be played with without the worry of tearing. The printable ones on the site however, can be put on whatever material you are comfortable with. (Feel free to use them and tell us what you think).

They look good.

I think I may have some of those plastic clips spare. I'm not sure I have the gun emplacements spare though. May take a bit of time to look them out though.

Thread moved to Customs / Cobra.

Looking forward to the Shad base!

The Red Shadows H.Q. will be up soon and I'll post a link for it. Thanks for the warm welcome Baron!

Whoops, sorry! Please make yourself at home!

Baron, to let you know I had to use a program to get the correct sizes on the Palitoy sets, one of the walls in the HQ zip file you have is sized incorrectly, (I think it was the quartermasters wall). But with the program I used I was able to use the files. Do you think you could get a Cleaner scan of the playset uploaded here? As my set's are completly different from those originals. (I've had a few requests stateside and wanted to ask). And like I asked, I could use some help locating the plastic add ons to the set, so they could be reproduced.
