Freaking awesome! I love the speakers! This is a great vehicle but the single-seat cockpit is what always bugged me about it. You did a great job!

[footloose]

im not a big fan of the cockpit either but other then that pretty cool vehicle.

[TheWilloughbian]

Looks fantastic. The shot of Tunnel Rat and Ripcord gettin' down is hysterical.

[snowviper]

nice, coyote in full on battle mode.

[DARKWIND]

This is the bomb!!!!
You hit a homerun!!!!
Both the custom and the pics!!!
Gotta find one of these babies!

[ponygt]

That looks super awesome!!:) I love the paint apps.

[wertdog91]

Gotta pic one of there up. Saw it at Marshall the other day but didn't pull the trigger

[war009]

nice

[footloose]

not a bad vehicle for $15

[Mapleleaf]

Awesome job. I just bought one myself to customize, so I'm wondering how did you get the paint apps to look like you did? How many coats? Did you use a primer? what type of paint?

[redx24]

can u do this to mine please?

[Troynos]

Great job.

[AirborneRigger]

looks awesome! I started a SWAT version but haven't finished it yet.

[IIIzoeIII]

I've never even seen this vehicle before
and you did a nice job on painting it..looks super real

[Dropkick]

That is sweet. You have some skills my friend.

[CobraOfficer999]

Absolutly kickass.

[DavisT78]

And now the self ass-kicking for passing this up at Ross 15 times begins......

[punchitchewy80]

i saw this on your facebook and again wow!! this is so cool it makes me look at the apc in a whole new light. really really excellent.

[iDzBowl]

solid work man, great job!

[Kungfuguy]

Great job! I've never understood Hasbro's design logic. Another single seat vehicle, just like the Iron Man vehicle. And those awful pull down side doors, just like the Joe apc. How hard is it to make it a sliding door or put hinges on the top?

[Mr Hebime]

Front page this! Maybe a hasbro rep will see this and have it released in this paint scheme. Not as good as yours of course :)

[FlintWO2]

man that is amazing!

[DarthBryn]

I bought one of these on clearance and want it to look like this. How can I do it?

spray paint ;)
rustoleum makes camoflauge spray paints. i got mine at walmart for round $6. they make green, brown, and biege. paint works great. i use it on all my custom vehicles. heres a mobat i did as well
http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z455/johno2tired/scarlett.jpg

to everyone thanks for the feedback its greatly appreciated. as for upcoming customs i currently dont have anything lined up. need to get back to working on my zwars comic for a bit. have another building currently in the works i need to get finished.

Awesome job. I just bought one myself to customize, so I'm wondering how did you get the paint apps to look like you did? How many coats? Did you use a primer? what type of paint?

for primer i just used a cheap can of .99 cent grey primer from walmart, a $6 can of rustoleum biege camo from walmart. to get the weathering i used a black acrylic and dry brush it on. very simple to do. dip brush in paint, get all excess off the brush, run it back and forthe on some paper till barely any paint comes off then start going over all the edges on your vehicle. back and forth like your trying to brush something off. this will highlight your edges and give you a weathered look. not sure if thats how the more experienced customizers do it but thats how i do it.

[ndb]

Awesome! I'd love to own this piece!

Thanks, I can't wait to try this. Again awesome job.

[nighthawk]

Awesome job! I loved this vehicle but hated the Capt America paint job. You show how a great paint job can make something so good.

[Poopandscoop]

My first comment on a custom, but wow. I have been buying forces of valor stuff lately and this is par or better. You just sold a lot of cheap clearance plastic. Good job.

[footloose]

Thanks grim.. some lucky SOB out in cali is the new owner of this.. definatly one of my favorite customs

[1FormidableJoe]

Nice paint apps!

[Articulated]

Just wanted to say this was so awesome I went and found one myself...making a custom APC for a jungle strike team for my first custom ever. This inspired me so much I came up with a custom character, custom stickers, and learned how to prime, dry-brush and wash just from being so stoked after seeing this. In short, it's awesome work like this that inspires others to begin exploring customs. I've learned a lot and it's thanks to you! Stuff like this is what made me glad to join this community!
