Pics or it didn’t happen…
(Mostly I want to crib some ideas…. My 8yoa is forcing us to stock pile cardboard boxes to build a tank)

My mother wouldn't let me have a GI Joe because it was a doll, although strangely I was allowed to have Major Matt Mason and his space station. My parents also wouldn't let me have a BB gun, and we know how that turned out.
Not very good pics but it's really just cardboard and duct tape

That is truly AWESOME!
That is the best kind of father and son time right there!
Hot Wheels. Tonkas. Joes. Legos. All of it is quality time.:cool:
The joy the past 8 years for cardboard boxes (especially large ones) cannot be measured.
Ah, yes- memories of my misspent childhood. I was delighted to find out that my GI Joe figures fit into my Star Wars vehicles, and a shared universe was born- that also involved Transformers.
I never got the USS Flagg (see my recent meme thread post), but my parents got a new filing cabinet at about that time and the box made a great hangar for my two GI Joe helicopters.

I had a bookcase made of cinderblocks and plywood- a perfectly adequate 'underground headquarters'.
