I don't know how practical this would be but it looks freaking cool. With the color scheme you've used it looks like it could be used by the Adventure Team |

I love the way that thing looks! My first thought when Isaw it was that it looks like it would be carried by Thunderbird 2. (I always liked the smaller Thunderbird vehicles, so that's a compliment.) |

Avac, I love all of your Cobra construction equipment, they all look Cobra and tonka at the same time, and this drilling contraption is no different. it has elements that seem like they'd work IRL but really probably couldn't, and that' one of the things that made me love Joes back in the 80's. Great work. |

I may not understand this thing you built, but it sure is cool looking. How do you the yellow to look right? Is there a wash on it? |

thanks for the comments! pnasty, the yellow is achieved after a coat of fusion grey. i buy fusion river rock grey by the case. i use it as primer for all my vech customs. they say primer isn't necessary, which is true. however, if you don't use a solid base grey, the final color will not be as brilliant and consistant w/o it, imho. i've been tied down lately and i haven't been able the post these pics until now. the Snake Tunneler is piloted by "Burrow Viper". the head is from a tru firemen set and bored to fit the neck of the neo viper. the rest is a target neo viper with various gear. had to find some use for a neo-viper.

You might as well paint a McDonald's logo on that vehicle, 'cause "I'm lovin' it." And the driver is just great. He has real character and doesn't look like any of the numerous neo-viper variations we've seen as vehicle drivers, yet he's clearly a Cobra. Great work. |
