Those are'nt bad at all thanks.

[Tracker]

thank you there some good idea there

[Engineernerd]

Thanks for checking out my crates! I didn't realize how many GI Joe diorama builders there are out there until I posted those and had a bunch of traffic coming from Joe sites.

Would you guys want generic ones or Cobra ones? It wouldn't take much for me to modify the files for that.

Also, I'm finishing up a broken version for my Indiana Jones Display. This is my prototype:

There's a ton of great stuff on this site! I don't have a RAH display currently, but all you folks are inspiring me to do one.


Thanks again,
Engineernerd

The Broken Version is very Cool,and I think a Cobra Crate would be nice to have.

[guiltridden]

These are Cobra or MARS ones would be awesome

[Engineernerd]

I hadn't thought of a MARS one. That's a good idea. I'll try and work up some of these over the holiday break!

Those are kinda cool. I don't know how well they will blow up, though. Any idea how big you want to make them?

[Urban Saboteur]

If you have Photoshop you can extract the images by going to File/Import/PDF Image... then select the downloaded PDF and it will bring up thumbnails of all the images in the PDF. Choose the one you want.

[vespapilot79]

I dont have photoshop. I'd like to make one as close to scale as possible.I figure print then out on 11x17 paper and use foamcore for the structure. If I dont make one full size, I may opt for the 1/2 size shipping containers. Is there a free version of photoshop anywhere?

[troopsofdoom]

Photoshop is expensive. If you have file sharing you may be able to find a bootleg copy.

Try opening the PDF in whatever photo editing software you have. It may let you select one page at a time to rasterize then go from there. (I've only used Photoshop so I can't be much help.)

Hope this helps.

You friggin rok man!! Thanks!!

[Engineernerd]

Alright the the TVFT downloads page now has the full version of the Cobra Ark Crate:

http://www.tvandfilmtoys.com/downloads.asp

Put together it should look something like this:

This one is just cut out and taped together. I don't have a Joe display to put it in at the moment, so I wasn't going to build all the internal structure up.

[Hammerfel]

You are AMAZING! Thanks so much!

You know what would be great? A GI Joe team version, or maybe a hi-tech, metal looking crate!

[Rambo]

Engineernerd:
Thx for the Cobra crate. Could you give us a hand with the cointaners, to make they in 1:18 scale?
