A Week of Blood Page 4 Three all new customs

Wasn't going to do this until I finished my two BIG builds, but I'm just not going to have the time for awhile to build what I planned. So instead I decided to show what I've been working on for the last several months. First up is the Cobra Hiss Boat renamed the Barracuda. Some of these I posted during JC Awards but there is also quite a few new ones.

I'm really happy with the Barracuda. I sealed the inside of it so it floats really well.

Oooh - that's pretty sweet!

How much did you have to mod the HISS/WM to get them to fit, or do they line up well to begin with?

I just love how you can make an old Arah era vehicle into something that looks like... Well, an new Arah vehicle!

Fantastic looking boat. I'm a fan of your tank builds, but this boat makes you stop and go- yeah, that hiss body really does work as a boat.

It was a lot of work. Basically you have to rebuild the WM hull so it doesn't have the split front end. I also had to reshape the bottom of the seats in the cab of the Hiss so they don't hang lower than the boat hull. Also I completely reworked the rear of the Hiss so its rear step lined up the the side steps on the WM hull.

Thanks, I feel like the last thing the Hiss looks like is a tank. You hit the nail on the head, recreating ARAH vehicles into new ones is exactly what I try to do.

And you are one of the best at it! If the vehicles you come up with were out when I was a kid my parents would have been broke because I wouldve wanted them all. Amazing bro just amazing! Oh and thanks for the heads up on the week of Blood... I know not to post any vehicles this week lol.

Flat out ....things like this make me want to jump back into classic 1:18th.

A simple yet effective design and just enough of a cutting edge look without going overboard.

Excellent work.

I was surprised when I read what all you had to modify to make this work, it's so clean it looks deceptively simple. Love the added details like the hand rails.

Can't wait to see what else this week has in store.

Well I think you've seen most of these but not all. I'm glad you like them and I'm looking forward to seeing what you build next.

It was a bit of work for sure. If your interested check out its WIP thread. You can see how I rebuilt the lower sides as well.

Id love to see you do some sort of stop motion animation, or video of your process.

Your work is so seamless and professional its great to see the WIP.
