So I got this Captain America 4x4 on clearance last fall and finally got around to working on it. Im trying to decide on a few more highlights to the vehicle and what stickers i want to order yet but i think its coming along nicely. Kinda what i thought a newer vamp should look like.

I like it...I like it alot. The only thing that would stop me from pulling the trigger and buying it - is the rocket launching cannon. Perhaps I just need to see a pick without the red tip on the end.
Regardless, you have done a fine job so far. |

Actually I was on the fence about the cannon. I wound up just painting the "shield" and leaving the rest of the gun the way it was. I was looking at the cannon for the vamp mk I but even if I frankensteined one for it it's just too small. I'm thinking of maybe some kinda custom stinger missile rack in the distant future. Over all even my wife thought it was cool, and she's not that enthused about my hobby.
Just a question though I was thinking of the vamp mk II striker pack, plus a few I have left from sme other projects, but I wanna kinda pay homage to the main flavor of the original vamp, what do you guys think? |

Love this, but I'm hesitant to repaint my Cap jeep. I hate the red on it, but I likr the designs applied to it. If there was some way to keep the designs and still paint it. But I will probably do something like this. I was wondering, are you going to try to find something to make a gas-can rack for the back?
Also, I love the feature of the POC Vamp (MK V) with the holes sized to hold backpacks or gun attachments. Do you think that would work on this vehicle, too? |

I like it. The updates from the Captains line with the classic colors work well.

Actually I was looking at the gas can holder and the gas cans today as I was taking pics, so yea I'm really considering adding the fuel cans and rack.
I understand what you mean on the paint apps, they are pretty nice, I wish there were a way to at least have kept the star on the hood, I think it would have been nice with the od green. On a side note, the stickers on my jeep weren't really stuck down very good so I was able to peel them off and reapply them later. They are pretty nice for paper stickers. I still want to add the vintage style stickers though as when I saw this thing on clearance I immediately saw a meaner more modern version of the vamp. I haven't seen the new vamp other then the little picture on the new skystriker. So I don't know if the backpack holder would be a good addition or not. Consequently I scooped up the captain america vector jet at the same time for a future custom, but I can't decide if I want to make a modern interpretation of a firebrat or a nightraven drone. |

I've got the "justice jet", too. I've looked at the size of it, and the fact it is vtol and would like to use it as a replacement for the Skyhawk/Ghosthawk. But it would be a good firebat or skysweeper, too.
