Arctic V5 HISS Tank and Scout

I've always had a soft spot for the characters and figures that were specifically designed for a certain environment and my favorites have always been the arctic characters. I really loved the Arctic HISS Tank they released in the 25th line and it gave me the idea to try my hand at customizing. These are the first customs I've completed, so be gentle.

Hope you guys like them. Any feedback and constructive criticism is appreciated.

Looks great! What kind of paint did you use and how many coats did it take?

I primed the tank a couple weeks ago with primer I got from a local comic shop called White Primer Formula P3 by Privateer Press. I was having trouble finding paint to use. I heard good things about Krylon Fuzion for plastic but looked for it in a number of places and could not find it in white. I ended up finding Rust-Oleum Universal paint/primer at Lowes and used that. Took about two coats for the scout. If I had to do it again, I probably would have tried to straight prime it first. That red was a bitch to cover.

Damn, first the jet black one I saw on here a week or so ago and now this one. You did a phenomenal job on this. So much better looking than my ugly brown hiss.
