TIGER FORCE HISS: I saw another member post a pic of his custom Tiger Force Hiss and I loved it. The Hiss is probably my favorite land vehicle in all of GI Joe. Stripes designed by my mate, painted with Rustoleum 'Marigold' this time and acrylics for all other details. The Tiger Force logo was redesigned for a more realistic look.
HISS II: Its basically the same color as the original HISS II but in what I am terming 'Cobra Blue' my Rattler Custom, the Vamp Custom and Black Hawk Custom are all in this blue so I thought to standardize. Details in acrylics, I didn't like the neon red turret and stuff so I painted black. Along side the Hiss II is the Ripit custom, just need a red Cobra Logo for the chest and he's done. AVAC: He's a temp! My AVAC is really beat up so the Hiss Tank Driver stands in with a mild repaint as AVAC. Again, need a cobra logo sticker for the chest plate. Copperhead Python Patrol: Just what you'd expect, Copperhead based on the Python Patrol Colors! Last edited by speedocub; 08-29-2009 at 01:08 PM.. |

i like your take on the tiger force hiss. several of us have done one. in particular, i like your style of stripes. they are unique and look to be well done.
to nit pick, there doesn't seem to be much if any fade between the brown and other colors. not that there has to be, each of us has done thiers differently. i ran into the same problem with the tiger style mouth stickers, it's hard to fit them well to the hiss and look good at the same time. i do like the black running board at the back, nice touch. what color is your 'cobra' blue? link to pictures of the other vehicles?

The Blue is Krylon Satin Oxford Blue Here is the Tiger Rat http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...tiger-rat.html Cobra Rattler V2 http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...attler-v2.html As for the other customs I mentioned, they are not done yet. And the Fade, well...aside from being tough with acrylics, there just isnt much room to make it look good on there, the fade that is. But given the tiger mouth applique, I designed that in AutoCad for the Tiger Rat and it cut and splices nice on the Hiss. |

i think that may be the same blue my son picked for his cobra vehicles
the fade and width of the stripe was one of the critiques i got on my tf hiss. indeed, getting a small stripe is hard with the krylon spray paint. i also picked a very dark brown which some did not like. i modified and spliced tigersting stickers for my tf hiss. i do like the look of yours. your stripes are the most stand out features in my opinion. i recall seeing your tf rattler and liking those as well. i really do look froward to seeing what else you do.

I'm not sure what to do next, but rest assured it will probably have more stripes! My mate (tiger) has the skills for those. He did the stripes on the custom figs too! |
