Interesting custom, nice job!
I'm not buying the honor and valor part though. These guys do fight for Cobra don't they? |

Now for the Technical Specifications:
This Shock Hiss took me over three weeks to design, fabricate, paint and detail. I started with standard Hiss. The canopy isn't just painted but I used Styrene sheets to cover the clear plastic and now it appears to be armor plated. The treads were removed and modified. I wanted to give the appearance of realistic treads, thus I wanted to cut the base out in the front and back to allow for ground clearance. I also added a gap from the base and tread to give a realistic look aswell. The turrent was modified to give a more realistic look. I used more styrene to fabricate armor shields. I also modified the cannons to look more traditional. The rivet holes were individually drilled by a micro bit. I also drilled out the rivet holes on the body of the Hiss Tank. The final big fabrication was the side armor plating to protect the treads in harsh combat environment. Again I used styrene sheets and H beams. Lastly, I added some sand bags, gas cans, and other accessories to give that real urban combat feel.

Dude, I just peed my pants a little, then I saw this thread! That looks great, very original. Love the plating on the sides and the reinforced canopy. Looks like something that would patrol Delta City in Robocop.
