Work in progress, but I wanted to tell someone!!!
I'm going to augment the cool H.I.S.S. Tank version 5 with accessories from Marauder's and Build-a-rama.com to make a more rugged and battle ready tank. I really think it's going to look badass!

First I'm going to paint that hideous gold black like the rest of the tank. Cut the missiles in half, remove the launcher firing mechanism, drill bigger holes for the missiles to fit deeper into the launchers, kind of like the Wolverine or Whale's missile launchers. I'm going to add a few ammo belts to those twin chin guns. Perhaps a tow hook. I'm still thinking of how to tackle the back end.
Then I'm going to give that bulky turret that hangs down into the troop compartment a custom treatment so it doesn't block so much room. On the right opening I'm going to add storage for tools, crates and weapons. On the left will be for troops or whatever.

All over the rest of the tank will be stuff like this...
I'm also going to add some antennas, maybe a radio in the turret, a Cobra flag... I'm stoked! I already ordered the Hiss tank from eBay and it should arrive by the end of the week. I'll be making my Marauder and Build-a-rama order soon, and I'm going to scour my local hobby shops and toy stores to kit bash.
I'll keep you all posted!
