Go to page 2 for updated pics.... all the tech is still on this page though...
Alright guys, it's not done, but thought I would show you guys some progress pics... Here we have a 1983 HISS Tank. I have had it for 19 years (since I was about 7 or 8). She has got a ton of play time so I figured why not. I have made my own stats for my HISS, as not much is stock. The HISS Viper Special Forces Attack Vehicle: "HISS AV" Power plant: Chevy 572 Big block (600 Hp) Top speed: 85 MPH off road, 135 MPH on road Weight: 8.25 tons (Loss of tracks, original 9.75) Range: 250 miles, 350 with axillary tanks Armament: Remote burst activated Projectile launcher (From RAGE Tank) Ordnance: Long Range Dual Barreled Concussion cannon (from RAGE tank) Special fetchers: Titanium wheels with M.A.R.S. rubber shock absorbing tires, ability to run on 87 octane (has octane injection for high performance power plant), can drop all weapons for recon if needed. I started with new paint. I used Tamiya German Gray spray paint. I found some camo patterns on-line and printed and used them as templates for masking. 2 coast of paint and we have some black/gray camo.... the top stock canons were scraped from one of my other custom, the Brawler (also found on the 92 GI Joe HQ). That was a pain in the but to say the least. I also mounted a gun to the side for some defense against the Joe's. It came from the parts bin off of a Cobra RAGE. UPDATE: Top gun was replaced with the one from the RAGE, along with it's missiles... Now for the fun stuff... As I did not hear a yay or nay on wheels... It's got wheels! I used Destro's Razorback wheels for this. I have always liked wheels better anyway. The rears have a pivot for off road terrain. I will say this was the biggest pain of all, but I like the way it turned out. I have much more to do, but thought it might help someone thats running out of ideas ;) Let know what you guys think....

I like it a lot. I can just imagine this thing speeding through the streets during some urban combat. Futuristic and great.

I really like the whole wheel look. Looks like could be part of a Recon unit for a larger mechanized element. Not that crazy about the giant gun system, but that is just my opinion over all it looks really cool.
