28mm Snow Cat and 1980s Pulp Conversions

Being 1980s Pulp, part of what makes the genre exciting is exotic locations. If you are going to have a winter or Arctic showdown, you need some suitably outfitted characters and equipment.

First, the Joes.

I of course needed Snow Job, he was a pretty cool action figure that came with skis.

Looking about I found my starting point at Artizan Miniatures with their WW2 Devils Brigade Command team.  These guys are in parkas that look a lot like what the Joes wore in the Cartoon series and some are close to character already. The skis and extras set are from Brigade Games.

I decided I could also make Iceberg from this 4 man pack.

Step by step I added green stuff to convert the figures.

Goggles and strap for Snow Job

A machine pistol, straps, and backpack added to Iceberg.

Skis added to a backpack made from a plastic sprue piece.

The duo primed.

And painted waiting for base work.

Next up was transportation, so a 3D model of a Snow Cat was printed.

The toy is really cool, my cousin had it growing up, and sometime I will need to make a Frostbite conversion to pilot.

Now on to some action shots!

Snow Job and Iceberg arrive in Greenland to investigate reported Cobra activity.

A back view of the figures.

They meet Quick Kick, another conversion, who is also equipped for winter combat or at least a commercial.

The Baronness arrives in winter attire flanked by SNAKEs.

But the Joes have a Snow Cat to back them up.

Lots of rockets!

They spot her over the ridge.

Ski rockets away!!

More to come,
