This is another simple repaint with custom decals. The World Peace Keepers Abram tank is simply awesome! Hasbro really needs to take some lessons from this toy company and BBI Elite Force.
Basically I spray painted a mist of green, beige and black across the already green base of the toy. I also gave the tank a wash in black to give it a "worn" look. The decals were made with Testor's Water Decals. I created the decals using Photoshop and Powerpoint. As mentioned with my other customs, for the quality an price I wouldn't recommend using Testor's Water Decals. Overall, I'm happy with how the decals came out, but the "transparent" Testor decals are not as transparent as I was hoping. The Steeler action figure is actually a custom I bought on ebay. This custom is exactly what I was looking for! I'm not sure what parts were used, but it's closer to a "vintage" look than the Hasbro 25th vesion. Also, in the obligatory "G.I. Joe Issue 1" type photo you will see my custom Zap, Scarlett, and Snake Eyes. Again, comments & critiques are encouraged. Jason Last edited by jlw515; 08-21-2016 at 07:28 PM.. |

That looks amazing. I wish I'd have known about PTE vehicles when this was sitting at Big Lots.

I found the other tank (Combat Tank?) at Big Lots, and saw the picture of the Abrams on the back. I had to order mine from Big Bad Toy Store. I think Small Joes may have some too. I wasn't collecting Joe stuff last year, but I saw all he cool World Peace Keepers stuff. Really wishing I had bought more. The action figures are terrible, but the vehicles for the most part are great.
As the Abram tank is a MBT (Main Battle Tank), I figured "Mobat" would be the phonetical pronunciation of "MBT." Jason |
