Hey fellow Tankers, This custom is not really finished, but I had a request from a friend to put up the picks anyways. I love to take two vehicles and form them into one, so this one goes right along with the theme. I call this one the D.R.A.G.O.N.C.A.T. I figured we had the SNOWCAT and the TIGERCAT, so why not incorperate CAT into the name. As you can see from the pics, this is like taking a VAMP, cutting it into behind the seats, and sticking the rear of a SNOWCAT in between. There is a parts list on the fake blueprints. The entire twin cannon is COMPLETELY scratch-built out of ink pens and a plastic toothpick box. Also notice that the twin cannon does light-up. There are rocket launchers that mount to each side where the ski missles go, but the paint is still wet. They are just a couple of the ROC Neo-Viper's over-sized rocket launchers that no one ever knows what to do with them. Cut off the grips and mount them to something. Well I hope yall enjoy this work in progress and I will post some more pics as soon as it's finished.

Thanks Chickenbroth, I started to make it a jungle theme at first. I was going to use a palm/fern type camo.

I know these pics are a little fuzzy, but I hop you are able to see how the parts fit. The body is all one unit held together with superglue and 2 part bonding compound. The frame (or bottom) is in 3 parts that lock together for a tight fit. Just like the original SNOW CATs & TIGER CATs, the rotating weapon's mount is what ultimately locks it together. The front (VAMP) snaps in like the original VAMP, but I cut 2 notches that the front of the TIGER CAT portion slides into. The rear (VAMP) snaps in much like the original VAMP, but I cut 2 slots in the rear of the TIGER CAT portion for the old axle supports to slide into. It just happened to work out great that the factory notch on the TIGER CAT for the rear panel lined up so that I could leave a portion of the rear VAMP axle housing to work as a locking tab.
