canopy looks great

That canopy is awesome Very 90's Datsun!

I think this needs to go black, tan, or white. No crimson.

Too funny I was totally looking at cars with window louvres, Datsun Camaro, Corvette etc etc. It won't be white, if I was going to do white I wouldn't have used a white snowcat. Black or Olive Drab are the top choices now.

I like where you went with the Canopy... I think I'd suggest deleting the top and bottom lite one each side....

The headlight delete looks clean..though now I think I want a Brush guard or bumper of some sort.

I'd push you to go hard on the color...something Vibrant...blue or green... If you have to go Black...I think adding an Off Set Racing Stripe would look killer....

Oh I like this!

It's very 80's "looking to the future" type of vehicle.

Probably my favorite you have come up with thus far.

So I built I ram bar for the front. I didn't want to change the length or shape of the vehicle too much so this is what I came up with. I also covered the seat up and might add a smaller gun on top of the turret.

It might be cool to put the Guns that are normally under the Rage's Cannon up on top....Another Gun I think looks good are the guns from Destro's Dominator helicopter tank...the small ones that are on the sides of the engines.

Also I like the Ram Bar, but now I'm thinking you should fill in that Gap over the treads...

What about covering the gun seat with a hatch?

I'm thinking of using a snow wolf gun on top. I like that filler piece looks good.

I thought of it but honestly that cannon is much too small to hold a figure. So I'm just going for a giant gun look.

I was thinking more for getting into the rear of the vehicle than in the cannon itself. And not necessarily a working hatch either, just a neat looking non-functioning one for the illusion that you can get inside.

So now I have it in primer, I think I'm going with a Metallic Gun Metal paint colour, you can see some on the back of the tailgate. I still have a bit more sanding to do on the canopy cover. Anyway I think this is the last update before it's done.

And it's done......
