My entry for the "Build a better H.I.S.S." contest. I looked at the "tank" with the enclosed cockpit and all I could think was "Boy, that's a sucky place to have to sit..." A driver must spend the whole day with his ears ringing from all the small arms, lasers, rockets, missiles and tank rounds that just bounce off that nose. So I figured the first sensible thing COBRA would do with the knowledge that battle-testing brings would be to slap some reactive armor on the nose.
The armor is simple styrene sheet cut and filed to shape. It's mounted using square styrene rod. Up-Armored Urban Enforcer H.I.S.S.

Okay, I like the tank, but is Fumbles a Robot Chicken continuity only character, or does he have some other provenance? Regardless, like the guy and the tank.

He's Robot Chicken only, but so was Mo-Larr before Mattel made an action figure of him. I'm not much of a customizer so when I realized I had to include a driver I knew I'd have to keep it simple.

I love the "reactive armor" aspect of this. Great job and good luck!

What head did you use for Fumbles? Is that ROC torpedo?
