Wanted to take a crack at a vehicle custom, and since rumor has it that Hasbro is nixing the Wave 5 vehicles and the STINGER (one of my old faves), I had to take a shot at making my own.
Now, I could've tried to repaint the Vamp, but when I was looking through the Joe archives on yojoe.com, I came across a vehicle I never noticed before: Vamp Mark II. This reminded me of the Hiss II, which was an upgrade of the Cobra Hiss (naturally). So I figured the Stinger could use an update, too. And here we are! It's got the classic rocket system in the rear bed, but I liked the anti-aircraft weapon the ATK truck (Wal Mart) came with, so I repainted it and made it an option for the Stinger II. Another bonus added to the original design (aside from size in general) is a .50 cal mount and a halogen torchlamp (the original stinger was a night attack vehicle). I also made sure not to feature the Vipers in their gun hatches while the rockets are attached: it would have to be a rule of thumb in the Stinger II not to ride up top when there are missles sitting right behind you As for the driver, I thought the Hiss Gunner from the UBP matched nicely; I could probably lighten up the gray, but I kind of like it the way it is. I included a comparison photo from the upcoming (?) wave 5 Stinger. I think mine has a similar flavor, and looks like it could be a modern version of the 80's jeep. Hope you guys like it!

Killer custom man.
I like all the details you have on this thing. Hasbro should produce your Mark II. Last edited by stburr91; 11-25-2008 at 09:05 PM.. |

Oh, by the way, the "stinger" missiles are really painted Rattler missiles attached to the two Rattler bomb trees, inverted and glued together. I also added a trouble bubble missile to the top of the tree for good measure.
