This is my first so go easy. I picked the VAMP for 2 reasons: I always thought it was generally a weak vehicle OEM and it seemed like an easy start.
Check out my album here Hawk 7222's Album: Custom Vehicles - HissTank.com - G.I. Joe Previous VAMP incarnations packed little firepower and were singular in capapbility (rockets or machine guns). General Dynamics through its Land Combat Systems has provided GI Joe with a true Vehicle Attack Multi-Purpose (VAMP) Mark IV. This new system provides Anti-tank, Anti-rotary aircraft and soft target weapons sytems. 2 .50 caliber M2 machine guns have replaced the 7.62 previously used. 2 Dragon anti-tank rockets have been affixed. Night/Thermal optics have been added. Note location of optics on passenger side. Additional stowage of anti tank rounds is provided for as well.

I like the OD paint versus the molded plastic look. I removed the laser looking barrels and added two 50 cal M2 barrels http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M2_Browning_machine_gun. 2 ammo cans to feed the turret. The 2 dragon tubes are from a elite brigade weapons pack. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M47_Dragon I drilled out an MRE box from the Bravo team guys you get at target to hold the 2 reloads for the dragons (Clutch got the guys helmet). I added some stowage bags from other figures to the vehicle LR quarter panel and inside. I took the dragon launcher optics and glued them to the roll bar for the passenger to look through. I think it helps add some "realism". decals yet to be applied. I plan on overhauling an awe striker and hiss next. I think my wife wont mind so much if they look more like models
