Here is a vintage Stinger which I modified into a Cobra ACR (armored cobra regiment) Scout vehicle. it has a mounted machine gun, coms antenna, and a CVRJ / DUKE jammer antenna! I added armor to the vehicle but you cant see it in the pics. This vehicle has been in the works since I got back from Iraq in 2009. Its painted with krylon, tamia flats, and model master acrylics.
constructive comments welcome... thanks for looking! |

I love it, it reminds me of my Coyote from years ago!

Wow, before the close-up, I thought you just threw it in the mud. Unbelievable paint, good add ons too.

Yesterday when I decided to put this up on here, and on ebay, I went outside and did the photo shoot on our porch which has a desert tan to it and a nice rough surface. I didnt think it would not give a full representation of the vehicle but now that I have gone back and re-looked at the pics some non staged pics would do well too. My camera is a 5mp kodak so please bare with the poor photography. Also the lighting in the living room at my desk isnt that good so i have a mix of overlighting and poor lighting so i had to make up with it by adjusting the coloring on photoshop. Anyway, the actual vehicle is prety pleasing! I with I had some headlight stickers to put on the front but, I guess mudded over does the job for now.
thanks for all the great comments guys! |

Definitely has a gritty/dirty feel to it but 1 thing that I think would make this pop even more is some very light "here and there" silver along some of the edges of the doors, rear platform, front bumper/push bar and the gun. Should give them a more realistic metal look and feel but don't over do it ! Maybe add a touch or 2 to the body/fenders, just keep it light and along edges.
