 Post subject: My first two custom vehicles and some random figures

In dealing with health issues since January, I have finally improved enough that I was able to attempt some customizing, so decided to try my hand at some vehicles. I started with one that mainly is just a repaint of a Justice league Javelin jet. I'm not sure on what faction it will belong to, but I was thinking of calling it Broadsword.

The next one is something I have had an idea of, for quite a while. I finally got around to doing it. This is kind of a what-if vehicle. The Joes have been looking to upgrade some of their older vehicles, to more stae of the art designs. Who better to deal with in weapons tech, than Tony Stark. I present to you the 2014 Stark Industries prototype VAMP. It sports rear tracks that allow it to be used in almost any environment, and sports new interchangeable weapons packages. Show here is a system of four high intensity laser cannons. I will be expanding with more weapons packs, as I have the time and parts.

Now for figures:
A PMC (Private Military Contractor)- whole figure but head is a Renegades trooper. Head is from Quinn. Helmet and weapons are assorted fodder.

Next is an Urban Warfare Viper:

An Urban Warfare Trooper:

And lastly:
Hostile environment armored tactical suit or squad

When the military needs someone to send into crisis situations, and do not care about collateral damage, they send in the members of the H.E.A.T. (Hostile Environment Armored Tactical) Squad. They can operate in any type of environment, and wear sealed, augmented exo-suits equipped with the latest technology, and have access to a wide array of weaponry.

Lots of great stuff here, but the vehicles steal the show.

Despite all you've been through, those are very nice paint aps and decals.The javelin looks very sleek and stealthy in that black. Is it a satin? Are the decals water slides? Also a nice take on the vamp and very sharp. The figures also look well done. Nice work.

That jet is beautiful! I don't think I ever have seen that javelin before.

yes the half track is the stand out for me. Love what you did with it. What are the tracks off of?

Dremel,
The VAMP was a Captain America truck with the modified tracks from a Matchbox Mega Rig, ang gund from a Chap Mei boat. I have enough parts to do another one, except the gun. I am thinking a possible arctic version.

I like it all. Love the idea for the half track on that Captain America vehicle and the paint on the vehicles looks great. That PMC is very nice too.
