Update FOR SALE ON eBAY Now
UPDATE: ( I posted some larger pictures- they're on page 6 if you're interested ) Snake Trax coverted into a Cobra and Crimson Guard Ferret. Lots of Krylon Fusion Black, Testors Glosscote and Dulcoat and patience (just figured out how to combine all the photos in the same post). Love this thing. This mold is awesome. I can believe it's even the same vehicle. The teal and dark rust brown colors it was originally molded in are just horrific. The giant cannon is awful. The new front piece with headlights and a winch molded on was a cool idea but it just takes away too much from this vehicle. In addition to masking, painting everything black or red and then going over it in various coats both gloss and dull and putting the decals on the black and the Crimson Guard ATV, I also coated them again. The decals are now entombed, trapped. They are going nowhere, they will never peel, never collect dirt or dust, nothing. I like it. The black one reminds of the Stinger alot now,or the Fang. It matches them both pretty well. Just in case actual "correct" blue ones do come out at some point, I'm going to refrain from making my own in dark blue. I need to do a light blue one to match my Officer's RAM and maybe a couple of white ones for Snow Serpents. Those will keep me busy for a while. At least now the Twins have an official Ferret of their own, in Crimson Guard Colors. They don't have to borrow a blue one any more. Last edited by In Like Flint; 03-07-2012 at 08:39 PM.. |

Thanks! I think these are my favorite vehicle customs I've ever done. And they were really simple. I held off and only bought one at first. I wasn't sure how easily the cannon would come off and if I would need to get a vintage RAH cannon to make the ATV feel "complete". Luckily, sticker placement on the front fender and just moving the antenna/smokestack thing from the post to the hole hides any evidence of anything missing. So I went back and bought 3 more. Working on an arctic one right now.
