Since we put the link to my photobucket account in my interview, a lot of you have probably seen my other 7 hydrofoils...Here is the most recent finished one...


I am willing to bet no one saw this coming....

















And some driver pics...I tried to do several angles so you could see the head work, but they weren't coming out clear enough.







One of the best parts about this project was that I used complete junk...The missile launcher and shield were both broken, but I glued them flat in place, so I could mount the eco-water gun, and the deck was badly damaged on all the clips, so I figured out a way to bolt them together on the tip. It is a lot easier than gluing them.

The green was very difficult to work with...The only fluorscent green I could find was "clear", and took almost a week's worth of coating to make it opaque over a white primer. The purple was a little dark but the alternative was much lighter.

I know not too many people like the Eco Warriors, so I'll expect a lot more critiques on this one. Especially from Nova... He'll have some issue with the cannon on the bow....I know it.


This piece isn't quite finished yet, though. I didn't put any small guns on the back deck. I wanted to use a specific star corps gun, but I only found one, so i need to find three more. here is the gun, it looks like a super soaker. anyone got any, send 'em over!

This is great. I would have liked to have seen a Toxo-Zombie diver, however.

I like this. You certainly don't see Eco Warrior cusotms everyday much less an Eco Warrior themed vehcile. I really like the water cannon on the front. Most people would have been satisfied with the color scheme being enough to connect the vehicle with the sub-set but you took it a step further and worked the weapons of the set into it. If only you could find some paint that changes color in water you could make it 100% like the figures.

I like the mods to the Lamprey too. Again most people would have been satisfied with just matching the colors but your mods make him look like he was made for this team. I do agree though you need to figure out where the toxo zombies fit in this crew.

Man, that is really, REALLY awesome. Not something one would expect to see, but it looks super sharo in those colors.

And I am only now starting to see how versatile the Lamprey figure is in lending it's self to repaints. This guy looks especially cool

I agree on the zombies though. I wouldn't have one driving, but maybe reaching his rotted arm through the hatch on the deck trying to get to brains.

Damn I love that boat.

How could we not see this coming with all that bright green?!

While its not a concept I particularly like, the execution and attention to detail on this is fantastic. It fits right in with the rest of the Eco-Warriors theme very well. Nicely done.

Good stuff K-Watt *(yer new pet name).

I like best the customs that can easily fit into the existing toylines. A+ on every level sir.

Kev awesome stuff my man, The figure rocks as well, great mods to the head, and the paint flawless.

Toxo Zombies should go in the little black hatches. If there's a boarding party, they open the hatches and set them loose.

Another outstanding Morey and driver and it's right on par with the others. It's perfect for and Eco Warriors version. You've got some really really amazing customs there Kevin.

i think i might have one for casting, or possibly i already traded it to Spectre, but i know there's some around here somewhere. i picked up a ton of those space lanard pieces at one point --

as far as the custom -- if i seperate the quality from the idea, it's another incredible job from you... i'm just not a fan of the color combo -

i think if you were to fill the empyspaces of the hull in one of these, with styrofoam, they woudl float too.why hasbro didnt do that in the first place, is beyond me.

I can't believe I'm about to say this but, that is just too cool.


This customs rocks, it would be right at home in the rest of the eco warriors line. Great job!

I just crapped my pants a little bit upon seeing this awesomness. G-damn, dude, that's f'ing amazing! It's production looking quality (how then hell did you get the paint apps THAT smooth on the Lamprey!?) and it's a PERFECT addition to the Cobra Eco Warriors line-up! Oh my stars and garters, it's amazing.


I want it. Care to sell it!? (I'm serious, name a price)

I've been toying with this idea for awhile now with my Toxozombie in my WIP pile and found this...
