be warned, i was even more leary about attempting this project than i was the python patrol vamp and ghost hawk. i stayed very true to iron grenadier color scheme of black field color, red tinted glazing and goldish colored munitions which admittedly looks a bit garish. if you were hesitant about the yellow of python patrol munitions, the gold like color can be even more distracting.
at this point, it's more of an experiment. i had never done python patrol before and was surprised with the pleasing way they turned out. iron grenadiers were equally controversial and unique in my opinion which attracted me to attempting this project. if you liked the 88 destro vehicles, i'm hoping you will like my addition. for those that though they were as appealing (appalling) as python patrol, please view it some objectivity. my son already loves it so win or loose public opinion he gets another very unique rattler to add to his collection of cobra, crimson guard, tiger force rattlers i will have been satisfied in that i atleast gave it a try and that my son enjoys it one of the challenges is ofcourse, finding adequate ig stickers to use. thank god i had a spare set of demon stickers in my collection to borrow from. Here are quick pictures hinting at what the completed color scheme will look like.

Looking forward to this, I love the IG vehicles, maybe my favorite subset.

That's gonna be bad ass. I've had some success using RIT dye on the clear plastic to tint the glass red. It works better on the vintage stuff, as the new plastic is soft, and melts instantly.
BTW, Cobrastickers.com has some IG logos, and they're nice quality! Can't wait to see the finished product. Last edited by LG; 04-02-2009 at 03:42 PM.. |

precisely. i pulled the color scheme right from the despoiler vs. the a.g.p. with bright red. all the glass is red on ig's so i made mine red as well.

i'm using tamiya clear red. brush it on and good to go. much more tricky to prevent brush marks, pooling, etc. though.

I'm going ot have to try that, especially on the newer vehicles. I'm an IG whore, and the red glass is critical.
I'm in love with the idea of an IG Rattler now. Might have to see if I can score a Tiger Rat this weekend. |
