Custom Cobra Rage And Crew

Rage-01
HISSTank.com member Sculpt-bot brings new life into the old Cobra Rage with this super detailed custom Cobra Rage and crew lead by Scrap-Iron !

"I modified this guy to be a custom tank for Scrap-Iron
(who better to be a tank commander than an anti-tank specialist?) The "mine dropping" carriage was removed, and Scrap-Iron's launcher was shortened so that it could slide perfectly into the slot that was left over.
The missile rack was also modified to hold the 2 bazooka trooper crew's bazookas (still removable.) I followed all that up by giving the tank a realistic and weathered paint job, and detailing out the crew's uniforms to fit the tank a little better."

Sculpt-bot:
Hey all! Here is my inaugral submission to the Hisstank customs forum, and I look forward to many more! This will be the first of many Joe vehicles that I will be showing here in the next few months. The Cobra Rage! This is a pretty cool vehicle, and one of the less "odd" Cobra vehicles that came out in the later years of the line. I modified this guy to be a custom tank for Scrap-Iron (who better to be a tank commander than an anti-tank specialist?) The "mine dropping" carriage was removed, and Scrap-Iron's launcher was shortened so that it could slide perfectly into the slot that was left over. The missile rack was also modified to hold the 2 bazooka trooper crew's bazookas (still removable.) I followed all that up by giving the tank a realistic and weathered paint job, and detailing out the crew's uniforms to fit the tank a little better. This guy will be up on e-bay later today! Enjoy!

looks great, having bazooka troopers as scrap iron's boys is cool. i struggle with placing my bazooka troopers in the ranks.

Wow! fantastic work Sculpt-bot! There's a realistic feel to it..

Freakin sweet, can I buy it?
txbart:
I was on the fence about the POC version, but after seeing how this one turned out I'll be picking one up for sure.

Great job!
Zefram:
Love the paint job. Gives it a nice urban desert feel.

Quick recommendation, try putting the Extreme Environment Desert Force around it and see how they look, you might just have a good support vehicle for them.
InsigniaNIX:
Fantastic work. Mad Respect!
The L.O.C.:
That's intense! Great job!
Adamantite:
Wow now this is very, very impressive. I love how the rims look like painted.

See, Hasbro? This is more like what you should be releasing with POC.
ironknife:
amazing love it

Shawwwweeeeeeet! I love it man! The rage is one of my favorite cobra vehicles and you just made it 100 times cooler.

Beautiful custom! I love seeing weathering done right, something I've always struggled with. Can't wait to see more!

My wording was poor but my intent was pure.
Scotty97:
I stand educated. lol.
oliverbox:
Obviously, this is fantastic work. It's a great update to a classic vehicle, and it makes a lot of sense - in addition to being very, very cool. Thanks for the pics.
Weezus:
that is very well done. detail is where its at.



if i were doing that project i would consider making custom sticker sheets for the tires.
Zoltron:
Makes me want to detail all my joe vehicles.
steve2477:
Great work.
KingBiohazerd:
wow man that looks sssssssiiiiick
Sculpt-bot:
Thanks guys! I am really honored to have it FP'd! It is extremely encouraging, and will get my butt in gear on my other projects! I got a huge lot of junkers from my cousins on Easter. Most were too broken or damaged to resell, but since customizing is my bread and butter, you will be seeing quite a few more here soon.
Thanks much all!
CG23:
Awesome! Love the weathered effects on it, very realistic!
Porkchop Sandwiches:
Exceptional detail! Good job!
Outbackk:
I'm not a fan of the og vehicle but I'm loving the work you've put into this! That realistic feel is not easy to pull off and you've done an amazing job with it. The only thing I wish it had were some type of tread on the tire/wheels. That smooth look seems out of place.

I tip my hat to you, sir. The true test will be if you can make us like Battle Force 2000!
Steel:
Wow..looks great SB...nice work!
COBRACOLLECTOR:
Great Job !

looks sickkk
