Here's my entry for the Build-A-Better H.I.S.S. Tank Contest. I call it "THE WAY IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN with TRACK VIPER" For me, the main thing missing from the new POC HISS Tank was the turret. Well, walking down the Star Wars Isle gave me an idea and here it is. I have added a turret courtesy of the Trade Federation. I modded the rear of the POC HISS and added the ATT Tank turret. Also, I modded the turret to in order to accommodate a new gun, which was built from a modded Cobra Paralyzer cannon, a TOW site from the Elite Force Line and spare plastic parts. The turret rotates, can accommodate a figure and the gun elevates. The TOW sites have clear red PVC added to two of the sights and a clear plastic piece to simulate a light.
Next I modded the HISS Tank rear hatch to become an engine compartment with engine. I cut the engine out of a 25th Vamp and a piece from a True Heroes Playset. Now, the HISS has its engine. The next mod was I built two gun housings using ASP guns and the 25th Vamp Gun barrels. I used the connector piece from the Paralyzer gun to attach the gun housings to the side of the HISS where the holes were for the modular weapons system. The gun housings elevate. The final mod was I added pieces from a broken portable DVD player to the cockpit to give more controls. The cockpit was painted a charcoal gray for the seat and instrument panels I used the given sticker sheet and assigned "B6NE9" to the HISS. As far as paint, I decided to use the KISS approach (Keep It Simple Stupid) and went with a classic color. The HISS was painted a mix of graphite gray and black. The gun barrels were painted gun metal. It was lightly dry brushed with gun metal mixed with black. The driver, Track Viper, is a ROC Neo Viper body, POC Ninja Snake Eyes legs and chest piece and a ROC Ice Viper Head. The hands and chest piece were painted a dark gun metal to match the armor on the legs. The belt was custom, made from a 25th Firefly belt and an Elite Holster pistol holster. The figure was dry brushed with charcoal gray to bring out the highlights. Enjoy NEW PICS ADDED: ON PATROL Last edited by bravo5; 04-21-2011 at 12:21 PM.. |
