Might even get a 3rd one out before the week is over. Have a Sky Striker which is getting a Python Patrol face lift. I just need to mask it and do the final paint touches.

My original plan was to make a truer to form Retaliation dual fan Cobra Air Boat.

The boat itself was not perfect but I was going to make due, was just looking for what to use for fans when I tripped across the Sigma Six fan. It was too big to make a dual fan set-up but it was perfect size for a classic fan boat. So back to searching for dual fans. While looking for dual fans I tripped across the Mean Dog cockpit and it fit on the boat perfect plus it was shaped perfect for a classic fan boat. It was just too perfect so dug back out the Sigma fan and started putting it together.

The only reason I was making Cobra ANOTHER boat was because of the movie so when the movie idea went out the window I decided it would be much better idea to make it for the faction that would have the most use for a swamp boat.

The teal is not right it was called Ocean Breeze and came out bluer then I wanted, but it will have to do.

That's one of those Bass Pro Shop-esque fishing boats?

I have one of those I got for Battle Corps 'gone fishing' Bazooka...

Very cool...and I love the use of the Thunderclap tow vehicle gun for up front. It's nice and maneuverable and looks like something that would be able to be turned to fire on a target quickly while still packing a punch. Even with the colors you're not totally happy with, it's still got a great Dreadnok vibe.

Yep bass pro bass boat. I have a better boat hull somewhere but not sure where that box is.

OK just did the black and silver overlay on the sky striker. I had totally forgot how much I hate masking off PP pattern. I knew I did not enjoy it but had forgotten just how much I hated it.

Yes I was very happy with the green and it pulled it together but wish I would have done the teal a little different.

On a side note my strips of tape were slightly too big so I do not love my PP jet but it is alright should have pics of it tomorrow.

Another really godo vehicle. The Meandog seats and the Sigma 6 fan are perfect parts choices for this. The blue is lighter than it should be but the green pretty much ties in with the Dreadnoks.
