Observe and Report

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Satellite photos revealed a structure on a small volcanic atoll in the South Pacific. No nation lays claim to the structure. Cobra is suspected due to the strategic location of the atoll. A small G.I.*JOE unit is sent to the sky blue waters for recon.

Two small crafts are launched from the Flagg. One for a "beach" landing. The other to scout the perimeter of the island in the center of the atoll.

Beach-Team, or B-Team, follow coordinates thru the dense brush of the island until they come upon the structure intel discovered. They radio back before cautiously investigating further.

The scout, Wet-Suit, motors around the island coming across a grated opening of some sort.

B-Team...into the thick brush

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

B-Team. Theres a clearing ahead...we found it...

Wet-Suit on the move

lovely shots bro! love how you set it up on water!

pool shots are quite an undertaking

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

yeah they are...reminded me why i hate shooting dios...

thanks though

 

[Big Jim]

thats cool man. I like the shot swimming up to the grate the best

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

Now that was damn good Eddie. If you could have hid the screws on the last shot it would have been straight balla'! Either way, you did great on it. I like how you have actual volcanic rock to sell the scene. You very crafty.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

thanks guys...

i HATED the grate shot, lol...so hard to get...i musta took 50 of them to get that one turd...nothing else in my pool to have him swim up too *shrugs*

and the volcanic thing went the other way around...stupid lava rocks in my landscaping from previous owners...so i just explained it that they were on a volcanic island...like you said though, it works...Hawaii was just like that...(at least the Big Island was)...black lava rock EVERYWHERE!

BTW, every time I see a Footloose custom, it makes me want to punch Hasbro in the temple that we don't have one yet. What a great troop-builder for Vietnam-era dios! Sigh.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

again, literally laughing out loud...i got to "mustache" and died...W-S is giving them the bird...its hard to tell from that angle

Nice Shots Eddie!

I can only imagine how frustrating those pool shots were. Great teams too, you used some of my favorite figs and seeing all the tweaks on them were nice.

 

[Falcon C]

great story and photo set. The use of PTE´s vehicles is a cool touch.
I have some shots of naval activity with the same rib boat. Well done !

 

[Rick]

Way cool. Nice job spreading those guys out to distribute the weight to keep that thing from flipping over.

How did you get the shot of the diver going into the water like that? Were you holding him against the raft from below.

The grate shot is cool and although you aren't happy with it, we all have enough imagination to know what you were going for.

they were quite frustrating, but honestly, getting the guys to stand up on lava rocks proved more irritating...

and yeah, i love using the classics as more and more seem to be using the PoC guys due to their bada$$edness...i almost thru PoC SE in there too, but being a superhuman, the rest of the guys woulda been pointless

Rick, i was indeed holding W-S from underneith...over exposing the shot a tad helped hide the bit of my hand that showed up...

i speak for all of us when i say we'd love to see them

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

forgot to include this pic in my first post...yup, the Joes use goggle too

Yeah, nothing beats good ole arah! Fuck SE!

 

[xhairs]

wicked cool you got both land and sea

 

[Meddatron]

Very nice brother. Great photo shots. I guarantee I would drop my camera in the water while taking the first shot.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

thanks guys...

Medd, i had two cameras...one of them i can take underwater...its a video camera too...i love it...wish i knew how to upload vids...

 

[Monkeywrench]

it's prolly best that you don't upload YOUR videos

 

[Charade]

Pretty cool, man!

This may have been a headache, but it's a damned cool shot!

"Fuck off. You don't have a mustache. This boat's for 'stachers only, ya poof. Bugger off."

LOL!!!!

Awesome set of photos, but this caption takes the cake!

thanks!....gotta love them man-a$$ shots right?...right?...hello...anyone?

Awesome set of photos, but this caption takes the cake!

makes me think maybe a caption contest?

 

[Charade]

makes me think maybe a caption contest?

I was thinking the same thing. I've been lol'ing at the "official Eddieism" thread...you can do something similar with out-of-context pictures and new captions. All pics in the forum could be fair game.
