Here's a couple of vehicles I'm working on.
The Stinger is a Stinger and will be a Cobra urban assault vehicle. The missile rack is from a Snow Cat. I tried to use the same camo patten as the Tiger Force Tiger Sting. I used a black Sharpie for the black stripes for now, but I will be painting them and then putting a sealer of some kind on there. I'm actually thinking of using a matte sealer instead of flat. The grey didn't blend quite as well as I'd have liked like the brown on the Tiger Force colour scheme, but it's not too bad. I'm planning on using a set of decals from CobraStickers that would normally be used for the Rattler 4x4 since they are a greyish/silver and will show up better on the colours that I used. I do have a front push bar on the way. I need to come up with a name for this thing though. I was going to call it the Tiger Sting, but apparently that name was already in use by Hasbro's vehicle before I could come up with it. Any ideas for a good name?
This vehicle is basically complete and finished, I'm just waiting on the windscreen wiper from the same guy from whom I bought the Stinger's push bar.
It is based on the Snow Cat (the donor vehicle for the missile rack on the above Stinger) and that's as much as I'm going to reveal about it until I can post an official custom gallery entry. I'd have submitted it already, but the lack of the windscreen wiper would drive me nuts in the pictures.
Yes, there is a bit of cracking in the paint. I painted it a shade of green but that was too dark and the black parts wouldn't contrast enough so I got a different shade of green. I didn't notice right away that it was actually primer and primer doesn't like to adhere to paint so well. Oh well, I think it gives the paint some character.
The only mod I think I may make to it after this is to cut out the forward foot rests inside the cab so it will accomodate 25th figures. Probably not though.
Freaky Goth Girl? Misfits fan? No, this will actually be a custom of a very dear friend of mine, I just need to find the right flesh coloured paint and figure out how to shave off that red patch on Scarlett's shoulder. I also need to shave the rest of the stuff and basically whittle it down to an almost nekkid body as she is going to be scantily clad. The hair needs to be fixed so it sit on her head better. The "skirt" is the top of PP Baroness's skirt/jacket thing. If I can't make that look right, I talked to ol' boy over at Urban Rev and he's going to hook me up with a skirt and a jacket for this figure.
Now this guy...
Seriously? Anybody know how to fix this sevear case of scholiosis? This is Sgt. Stone fro the RoC SRO pack and he looks OK wearing his vest, but without...YIKES! The hardest, meanest Drill Instructor on Parris Island couldn't get this guy to stand up straight.
