This was my first attempt at doing a custom at all. I really wanted to recreate this one for the modern figures, especially with the problems we all have with the ARAH Thunder Machine not fitting our Noks correctly.
I would like to thank: In Like Flint, TTT, MLos1, nova, fireflyguy, Pig Iron Grenadier, Dealer Destro, and USAgent. Thanks guys for answering my questions about paint and such. Okay this was way more complicated than I thought it would be, and did what I could to turn the 25th RAM cycle into the Dreadnok Ground assault RAM. First I dissassembled the RAM. While doing so I found out there was a removable pannel on the mini-gun side-car. These things are glued together and a pain to get apart. I also gave them a bath in boiling water and rubbed them with alcohol and gave them another hot water bath in order to get rid of the oily texture as much as possible. Then I primerred the dark paint parts with black Krylon Fusion, and the light/bright parts with white. Then I painted with Model Masters Acryl #4374, 4386, 4388, and Citidel Red Gore for the tail light. Then I put it back together of coarse. Then some repro stickers from Ruben J were applied. (Ignore my son's captain crunch breakfast in the background though.)

seeing this makes me wonder why the hell hasbro couldn't issue these, or any of the sets since the molds were already made, and would be a easy sell out repaint. my noks need hasbro official rides, not hot wheels or any other brand. i would of bought a nice amount of these for my noks.

Nicely done!
If you don't mind, I'm going to steal your technique for a custom Z-Force RAM I plan to make for the Club's Quarrel figure.

That came out really well! I agree with Unclassified though, I know I would buy a bunch of these if Hasbro made them.
