Imperial Forward Command Center

This is an re-purposed Cobra Terror Drome that has been 'Imperialized".  It now serves as a forward command center for my Imperial forces.

That's cool. I like how you put Vader's meditation chamber in the middle.

Oh yeah, this is a great way to get more play out of your SW figures. It looks great. Off to share.

duuuuude i LOVE this
i have something similar in the works, a SW conversion, but mine is still missing a lot of parts. i didn't want to use the cobra head panels on the outer circle so i been thinking of replacing them and just adding more canons all around in place. or just cutting sheets of styrene to cover the empty space behind the cobra panels.

i really like how u did the computer screens and adding vader chamber underneath.

excellent job all around.

Always loved the size of playsets and vehicles in the Joe lines. This one looks  like an expensive custom tho.

Thanks for all the comments!  Here are a few more pictures of conversions I did earlier this year.  One was the GI Joe HQ playset and the other was a GI Joe Battle Platform playset.  Both now serve my Imperial forces.  I've since updated them a bit.  Since the Star Wars line was severely lacking in playsets, I decided these from the Joe line would make excellent additions.

Wow, those look awesome!

Can you folks imagine the sales Hasbro would have if they would re-release these JOE sets as SW playsets?

Off to the front page.

Great ideas!  I like the Imperial troop transports inside the base.

Very cool re purposing of the Joe Play sets. Though Joe fans would cry for days over that Terror Drome.
