i'm currently hunting down a super fine paint brush to get into the grille area on the front i tried a black wash on the bottom factory stamping and the black paint simply dulled the finish like a bad smear so i won't be doing that. after the grilles are done, i think the rest will be sticker applications |

here are the last additions for the day. hand drawn sticker made from ahipping labels that replicate the stock markings with some alterations such as changing the letters to hiss i guess to designate it as part of a hiss attachment, to me anyway and 788 to match the hiss tank numbers that will be applied when those stickers arrive.

oh man its so full of win. EXCELLENT JOB!!! gonna paint that tow cable silver? would look great. love the job on the tool kit! is that a seperate piece or actually molded on the tank? looks fabulous! love love LOVE the decpticon logo! nice and subtle... and yeah i always considered anything on treads to be in cobra's 788th mechanized. ;) and i wasnt sure at first but i like how it looks with the insides still tan. it needs some troops deploying out the back putting some lazer fire downrange! man that looks great... congrats on 100% success for this project! well, maybe 99%... what part did you leave out? cobra commander: "WHAAT!!!? you left out the transssmission?!? you FOOL!!!! AAHHHHHH!!!!! GET OUT OF MY SSSIGHT!!!!!"

i was planning on painting the rear tow rope black. silver would stand out too much and i don't have the sarm metallic paint that would return it to stock coloring. i still have all the hiss/cat stickers to apply. i'm hoping they arrive this week. i still have my joe bradley to do as well however there is nothing to show other than the autobot sticker i put on as it's waiting for the mauler/mobat stickers. as soon as all thats done i'll have even more pictures to post. so far i'm very happy with the way it's turned out. i'm glad to see others like it as well. it's always nice to get peer review oh, i picked up the e.f. light armor vehicle thru a forum member so i will be starting a crimson repaint project as soon as that arrives. guess i need to order more hiss/cat stickers:rolleyes: that would be set number 3 for me:p |

quick caveat on the EF LAV. I was hoping to make it into a Cobra custom. The turret opening is pretty tight - only figures with skinny legs and waist will fit in. Needless to say, 25A Cobra figures get their feet and calves in, but that's it.
Good work with the bradley. Looks very cool now - should look awesome with some cobra sigils on it Last edited by Moses; 12-30-2007 at 12:07 PM.. |

thanks for the warning. fortunately i plan on legion c.c. to be riding in the turret. i can always dremel out the opening some provided the hatch is larger than the opening. heck, i could even remove the bucket inside entirely and replace it with my own if needed and it's accessible. bascially, i'll make it work this c.c. is fairly skinny too.

CC Fits no problem - I just checked. That gives me an idea - custom cobra APC driver using the CC legs.
