I think GI JOE the cartoon was definitely influenced by Shield

••
Actually(!!) I sent the large piece to Christos with no assembly required.
It occurred to me the other day, that since I scan the pieces at 100%, then
assemble them, then shrink them for posting, and "cut up" the large pieces
to post the swatches, why not save everybody some work and just send
Christos the large, assembled piece so he could post it? He agreed to this
plan, et voila!.

Wow! I just got home from the New York International Auto Show at the Javits Center and my anticipation was so high that I could hardly wait for my computer to boot up so that I could see if the finished piece had been posted. What a treat to see this piece come to life with the final inks and all the incredible detail! Thanks, JB! This one is truly a masterwork. I note that the window count is considerably lower on this one than the Baxter Building, Xavier Mansion, etc. so hopefully the fourth in my HQ + Vehicle + Team series was a bit more manageable than the previous three. Also, thanks Christos for the large-size scan. I'll have something to drool over until I get a chance to pick up the original.

One can almost hear an Elmer Bernstein score playing in the background as the eye travels the many events in this piece.

That's a great idea, James.
And even though I don't have much interest in Fury or SHIELD, this may be one of the most technically impressive commissions yet. There's just so much action in this single image...and nobody does explosions like JB!
