Hiss Contest Act 2 Entry by Fireflyed

[fireflyed]

My Hiss features 2 leds up front and one in the rear hold. The missile pod was made by combining turrets from a wolverine and feature a hinge as well as the original ability to spin, so they can aim at any target. I added chin guns utilizing a ball-and-socket design so they could also aim at any target. I also enclosed the area the treads revolve around, cut of and added some vents from a wolverine and added a "engine/transmission" as well as a working access panel. I added lots of extra storage for gear in the rear, as well as hollowing out the rear hold to accommodate extra missiles.
This Hiss is piloted by Rip it, who helped design this hiss, and a special BAT Ordinance Reloader.
Enjoy!

The front gun is on a ball and socket design so it can point anywhere.

[M. Aster Karver]

FTW!

Holy mother of...WOW!!

[mister-x]

the reversed treads make it (fireflyed)
the removable panels are sweet also...

[Captain STEVEN DePACE]

I <3 this Hiss (even if it doesn't have 16 LEDS or a taped on dozer) almost as much as I <3 tommy wiseau and the time that weird guy on Joedios got banned.

FF=#1 and the best national treasure ever.

Absolutely LOVE this. Fantastic work.

Justin

Smash The State's going to write nice things about you from now on!

[Ctrl_Z]

Likin' the color and over all scheme of this one.

[Gatchaman]

Thats sick!!! How did you get it to stay down with the tracks backwards like that? I want to do that to my hiss tanks because they don’t roll for crap the right way but they roll pretty good backwards.

[Adamantite]

Like! Love how it looks with the reversed tracks.

Do you think next time you could try and incorporate one or two lasers? Like from cheap chinese laser pointers?

[Akunin]

I was thinking of doing something similar with the "mud flap" pieces as they just get in the way of the treads anyway. Can we see close ups?? Nice work! very impressive!

[airmax95]

Pure win !

[CNK01]

I like it a lot!!, simply desing, great weaponds and nice paint job, very cool!! Good luck!!

I removed the pop up feature and sanded off the "mudflaps" I'll try to get a picture of the chassis for ya after work.

They are pretty easy to cut off but there is a big hallow channel that runs through the body to the other mud flap. So after you do it you need to figure out a way to close the hole up. I cut some styrene to cover the opening and then molded it in. I'll put a picture of it up after work.


Thanks for all the kind comments.

[Redredly]

I can't say enough nice things about how the undercarriage turned out.....everything looks great...but my favorite part is the details on the lower section of your Hiss

[chickenbroth]

Awesome work as usual fireflyed. Love those removable access panels.

[89PILOT]

Green is GOOD!!!
Love it!!!

[thealleyviper]

Great work, as always! The reversed treads make a great look with the added storage and LEDs. Too many great things to list. Fine work!

[macca glenlivet]

Impressive as always--as soon as I saw the signature reverse treads I knew it was a Fireflyed original .

[Nekoman]

That is a sick custom man, I like the BAT and Rip It you've added a lot too!

[CNK01]

You have my final vote, i like it a lot your hiss, its simply, a great weaponds choose, and extra details like the side panels, ligths, the driver and bat, all!!! , just on the paint ware its very nice!! Too, try to agree some dirty effects to the tank, to have a more realistic effect on the green general paint and your hiss ill be perfect in all ways, congratulations!! And good luck i think you ll be the winner!! Great job!!

[TK1945]

You actually made the HISS look like something that would function in the real world. Totally awesome!

[CG23]

Really cool, nice work!

[Topside]

Rip It rules! Best driver I have ever seen.

[katcountrydean]

[BaronV]
