When I saw that TRU had this True Heroes Rocket Hauler on sale for $20 on Black Friday, I picked it up on impulse. Its a nice toy, and it has some great play/display value, but the color scheme leaves a LOT to be desired.
With that in mind, I decided to customize it into a custom Cobra chemical rocket hauler. This was my first custom vehicle, but it won't be my last. I learned a lot from it. I need better brushes, and a desck mounted magnifier with a light for the detail work. This definitely isn't up there with some of the pros on here (I'm looking at you, Nath!) but I'm fairly pleased with how it turned out and I had a lot of fun doing it. I wanted to give it a classic Cobra look, so I used Krylon Navy Blue and Model Masters Guards Red spray for the main body work. The detail is done in Model Masters Steel and Flat Black. Stickers are from Cobra Stickers, Replacement and restoration stickers for classic G.I. Joe vehicles.. |
