Arctic V5 HISS Tank and Scout

[JWilli1925]

I've always had a soft spot for the characters and figures that were specifically designed for a certain environment and my favorites have always been the arctic characters. I really loved the Arctic HISS Tank they released in the 25th line and it gave me the idea to try my hand at customizing. These are the first customs I've completed, so be gentle. :)

Hope you guys like them. Any feedback and constructive criticism is appreciated.

I would have preferred this over the Crimson HISS...

Looks great! What kind of paint did you use and how many coats did it take?

[Beckley]

Very cool, way to go the extra mile and paint the scout vehicle as well!

I primed the tank a couple weeks ago with primer I got from a local comic shop called White Primer Formula P3 by Privateer Press. I was having trouble finding paint to use. I heard good things about Krylon Fuzion for plastic but looked for it in a number of places and could not find it in white. I ended up finding Rust-Oleum Universal paint/primer at Lowes and used that. Took about two coats for the scout. If I had to do it again, I probably would have tried to straight prime it first. That red was a bitch to cover.

This looks great. I would've bought the hell outta these had they been stocked in stores.

Damn, first the jet black one I saw on here a week or so ago and now this one. You did a phenomenal job on this. So much better looking than my ugly brown hiss.

Dude, you should try graffiti paint (MTN or Molotow). It's gets much better coverage than Krylon and Rusto and isn't really any more expensive. Really nice work though.

Just beautiful! I love arctic conditions gear and equipment!

[DARKWIND]

Very cool! I love the arctic theme

[Brook1979]

I'm guessing you used flat white instead of gloss

[chickenbroth]

Looks great man! I love arctic themed vehicles too.

[pig iron grenadier]
