My new 3D printer arrived yesterday and I lost my freaking mind. I found a file online for a Cobra HISS Tank in 28mm, shrunk it down to what I thought 6mm would be but is probably more akin to 1/200. Anyway here it is. Tomorrow night I am going to print a 15mm version. There are 3 turret options. So yes I will have a Cobra Army soon. Probably use Rebel Minis Titan Marines for Cobra soldiers. COBRA! There is one more picture on my blog at: link

There's a lot of GI Joe stuff available (probably in violation of lots of IP…) I've done some experiments in taking GI Joe buildings and resizing for 15mm.

Nevermind Bill. Thought he meant me.

He probably did.

Cool!! You gonna have some Pogos flying recon in front of the main force? Rattlers as CAS? You need tons of the standard Cobra troopers and then maybe some elite Crimson Guard or even Vipers, be sure to mix in some purple Tele vipers. I'd keep it classic only, ie pre-circa '91. Any plans for a Joe force? I guess it would be hard to have inviduals in 6mm, but you could have tons of generic green Joes like in the show. Cool!!!!!!

I've decided to go with 15mm GI Joe. So I will reprint this in 15mm along with much more… After my 15mm 40K project.
