Besides the HATE and Dead Eye... those involved very little "work" from me.

So these are the first two vehicles I've ever customized.

While working on the Snowmobiole, I was attempting to make something that would be Shiver's "own" vehicle.

Colour-wise I think I pulled it off... mind you, I should of taken a pic of it with Shiver on it. I'll get around to that later on. Basic reversal of the original colours, with a bonus - an actual silver engine. And no front guns.


There's a red Cobra-Canada sticker on the engine cover as well... I'll get a pic up soon.


The next one, started off as a Joe vehicle for Snowbank. Red and white... but um, the white paint did NOT take to the Tiger Force Ferret at all - so I changed it to a vehicle for Chacal Noir. Silver and black..... like him. I don't care for this one that much, so I may re-visit it, or just get rid of it.

I have no names for these yet. Well... actually, I do... but they're cool names and I'd rather save them for future Canadian Joe on figures.

Very nice! I especially like the snowmobile. The color reversal really works well.

Where do you get those Canadian Cobra stickers? Are there Joe versions? As a fellow Canuck, I have a couple of Canadian-themed customs planned and stickers like these would be great.

Great work!

Very cool repaints.

Chacal Noir's choice of vehicle works really well. When I was young my paternal grandparents live out in St-Damien and ATVs like these were a common sight. Seems like the perfect choice of vehicle for someone like Chacal Noir who's also from a similar area of Quebec.

I've been thinking of customizing myself an ARAH version of Chacal Noir... when that's done I might just copy that vehicle.

The Snowmobile looks great. Black and white are a striking color scheme, and I love the silver engine.

But that Ferret is EXCELLENT! You can't go wrong with black, silver, and red. Chacal Noir will look GREAT on that.

Very neat and very clean.
The cobra maple leaf is really cool

Awesome in thier simplicity.


These show that a new look at old molds can breathe awesome new life into them.


Good work, The.

I really like both of these. I think the only thing I would do personally is put a little blackwash on the engine of the snowmobile.

Thanks guys. I enjoyed making them, and have plans for a vehicle for Black Ice as well. But wanted to test how to do vehicles first.



Someone doesn't pay attention to Canadian Joe Convention stuff do they?
Check here: http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/canadianjoecon

They were made for the convention, with Hasbro's permission. They're all die cut to make it easier to peel and stick.

Very clean and classic looking.

I think the Ferret could use some neon scallops. Just a little trim somewhere. Not sure what color. Look at commercial ATVs for ideas.

The snowmobile is awesome. great work.

Dude, you have nothing to be ashamed of. These are nice repaints.

The Snowmobile is good. The reverse coloring works.I think the red sticker would pop a little bit better and maybe silver missiles too but overall it works as is. Good idea painting the engine.

The ATV is just awesome. Nothing to critique at all. It looks perfect.

D'oh! <Headslap> I wasn't having my best day yesterday

I had actually seen the Canadian Joe Convention stuff and noticed the stickers, but I didn't put two and two together.

Thanks for the Ebay link.
