UPDATE- FYI This is now up for auction on ebay.
Ok, You and me- We're both probably a little sick of seeing repainted Snake Traxx by now. I know I am. But this one here mocked me on my first attempt. And now that I've finally gotten it to come out right; I need closure. So here it is. The GI Joe Arctic Fox. I'm done. I'm tired of repainting this vehicle. I've made 6 different ones. 5 came out like I wanted them to. The 6th is hanging on a coat hanger on my back porch being used to test different paint. I swear there will not be another post of this vehicle. I'm done. Really. I think. Maybe a purple one for Mindbender...? Last edited by In Like Flint; 02-19-2012 at 04:27 PM.. |

Maybe when I get a Snowcat I'll like this thing a little more... But right now I'm just so terribly bored with it. Nah, it's definitely growing on me.

Nice work on both the Green one & white one.
Not thought about dropping the front guns & placing a storage bracket there instead ala Real world ATV? |

I have though about adding something like that. But now it looks like hasbro is releasing one for the joes (in green) and it's got a rack on the front AND back, I think it comes with Leatherneck. So I'm going to wait and see how that one looks live and in person before I make any other mods to these. |

Used Krylon Fusion Gloss White. Had to do it in as few coats as possible. It didn't get all flakey and powdery, at least as much as the first attempt using Krylon Fusion Satin White. I then when over the entire thing with a thick layer of Testors Dulcote to cut back on the shine. At least since it worked well on this one, I know I can get it to work on a Hiss Tank, Armadillo, Vamp, or even a Warthog.

Hey, they both look amazing man, what sticker sets are you using on them? Are these the vintage Ferrets/Tiger Paws or are they ROC Snake Trax? Maybe you could use and exacto knife and carefully cut some spikes out of the paddles on the rubber tires for better traction in the snow? Great ideas though and they turned out great. So these are only 2 of 6? What are the other 4?
