^^ Hehe, yeah... I still haven't Dremmeld it out yet. It won't be that low.
Unfortunately the two ammo belts I bought off eBay look a tad too big... they go to the 12 inch Joe line. I'll have to see. I may have to buy another Roadblock ammo belt.

how would the marauder ammo belt for the mini gun work out? does marauder offer anything similar but longer? if so you maybe could mount the mini gun ammo box under the front cab with the belt looped into those. what you've doen so far look soo much better than the stock toy. i will have to keep an eye out on ebay for one of these myself

As far as I know, Maraduer doesn't offer an ammo belt for the mini gun.
I just ordered one and it came with the gun and the ammo box, but no belt. I wish he did do the belts.

Looking sweet. I am really impressed with your detail work. Remind me not to show you my Cobra CAT tank when I finish with it. I'd only be embarrasing myself.

To be fair, the HISS is black, so it's really easy to detail it. LOL, just grey dry-brush it.
I'm by far no expert, but I am a decent painter when it comes to mucking up something to make it look old or used. The trick is many coats and to alternate between black and grey and use the dry-brush method. If you get too much grey, paint over it with black and start over. Thanks for the compliments.

Added some accesories from Marauder... coming along nicely...
You can see that I cut out the cup-like rear turret thing and added a ladder. It really opens up the rear compartment. I removed the side doors so it's easier to see inside. I painted it light grey so it's a bit brighter and easier to see. I painted the wooden crates brown and dry brushed them with black to bring out the details. I painted the gas cans and the oil barrel flat black, and they'll get a quick once over with some grey to weather them up a bit. I used a piece of scrap ladder as a bracket to hold the oil barrel, it'll all get glued into place. I'm leaving the crates inside loose. These are the insides of the side doors. I'll be gluing these into place as well. This is so much fun, thank you all for your comments.
