| Put another Sears set together. As with the last set I had to make a custom box as I can't find one for love nor money! Sears - Forward Observer   | |

| Excellent job mate, looks great. I was very very lucky to come across a complete one here about 2 years ago, cost me a small fortune, but no regrets  |

Is your poncho camo in that set? I am very lucky, I picked this up from a guy who lives about 20 miles away, and yes everything is complete and in the box. |

| Yeah, I've amassed everything I need on the AM front and now find myself being drawn to the Joe's. I just got to get a decent job so I can start buying....  | |

| Now that's definitely a set to play with outdoors! Great work on the custom box, aj! Did it take you long to put that set together?  _________________ clivvers - saviour of the huMAM race @ MAMageddon 2009 - 2099 @ clivvers MAM Nation: | |

Great work on the custom box, aj! Did it take you long to put that set together? No it didn't take long at all. I googled 'Sears G.I Joe' and saw the 'Forward Observer' set and thought to myself "I have all that gear, some in spares" so I put it together with a Joe figure and printed off the lid on some A4 sticker paper, I also had a nice box with a lid that looked ok. Hey presto! Those small camo radios are a hard find and that one was sitting in my wooden 'Locker Box' so had to replace it with an ordinary brown one. | |

| Thanks for sharing this great idea,aj! I need to visit my local 'Staples' store, I've got a printer just sitting here doing nothing. I'm thinking of doing something similar to what you've done, plus I need to make some 'sticker decals' for my vam/MAM vehicle fleet. My local post office sells cheap quality boxes that could house a custom set  _________________ clivvers - saviour of the huMAM race @ MAMageddon 2009 - 2099 @ clivvers MAM Nation: | |
