My first 'modern' vehicle custom... circa 2004 -

joemichaels70 · **Posted:** Wed Aug 12, 2009 1:52 am

I don't know if I should be putting this in critiques (because i'm not going to change anything... i need to leave it as a reminder), but this is the first vehicle custom i did when getting into joecustoms -- it never even got a name...

i figured it could be used as an MCC scout vehicle, since it fits in the bay so nicely -

The colors kind of remind me of the Swampsmasher.

What's it made out of?

A swampmasher. and tiger ferret wheels/axels that someone (before me) had decided to paint red. and a c.l.a.w. gun mounted on the front left side -

Looks nice. Got a nice little scout buggy-ish deal going on.

Could use some paint, though. It's looking a bit garish.

That is wicked. Like Jay said, a little paint could go a long way. Green wheels to match the body and repaint the purple gray. It would match a VAMP 1 perfectly.

I like that.

Quite a bit actually.
Though I do agree that a little paint wouldn't be too bad of a thing. With the red rims and purple rollbar, it seems "off" from the OD green body.

Very cool!

Wow, simple, effective and quite promising. Loads of possibilities for this kind of custom: TF, PP, Dreadnok, desert, coastguard....... Cool!

I like the little runabout. Looks like a great mini vehicle to take out for a spin.

Looks really cute and fun. I like it!

I like it agree about a wheel color change. Maybe add low profile roll cage to it.

There definitely is a lot of potential there and I can see myself coming back to steal this idea. I never thought of using the Swampmasher for anything, the hideous colors and wheels ruined it for me, but this custom has given it life.

thanks for all the comments, folks -- i think i'll come back & 'finish' it off with these paint suggestions... after i get my room situated...might take a bit

i received a broken swampmasher and broken/spray painted tiger ferret as part of an eBay auction - i just kind of crammed the two together -
