The Wolverine was always one of my favorites when I was young. This is just a "refurbishing" of the original toy with some added detailing. Specifically, these things were done: - The drive wheels were painted the same color as the rest of the vehicle. - The seat was painted black. - The engine compartment was painted steel, aluminum and black. - The missiles were painted in the colors standard to US/NATO ground-based ordnance. - The tools (which we called "pioneer gear" in the USMC) were painted the correct color. - The waterproof bags strapped to the vehicle's engine cover were painted the correct color (these bags are used to hold the camouflage netting that hides the vehicle from overhead observation when it is idle). After the vehicle was painted, I applied a new set of decals by Ruben Jiminez. All in all, I'm pretty happy with how this turned out. EDIT: I just realized that I forgot to put the tow cable back on before I took the pictures! I'm far too lazy right now to take new ones, so just imagine it there. ;) Last edited by Sgt Humpty; 08-29-2012 at 03:24 PM.. |

NICE!! That is pretty sweet-looking. I was also a Wolverine fan when I was younger.

That is really sweet. Now you should mass produce them in that color scheme as it really shines. I love it.

I hate to admit it, but I was expecting a hairy mutant.
Great job though. I think the Wolverine was the one vehicle that I always wanted and never got around to buying. If it looked like this, I would have. |
