This was a commissioned piece by a friend of mine that wanted his Patriot Grizzly Tiger forced. At first I figured it would be just another repaint. Once I physically had the tank in hand I knew that it was going to be a little harder than I thought. The mechanisms inside this toy are crazy! This was by far the biggest PITA to dissemble and put back. On the upside It was super fun to paint and watch it fire the projectiles out of the cannon. I originally put the mouth stickers upside down, but soon remedied that....oops. Hope you enjoy as much as I did making it.

This looks awesome. I have been wanting to do a tank in TF colors and this gives me some great ideas.

I can't stand Tiger Force; but you did a great job painting it! It looks great! Yeah, this Patriot Grizzly Tank needs to re-released by Hasbro w/ a cannon turret that goes up and down (..and rotate 360 degrees), re-engineered with moving treads and put some kind of .50 cal machine gun on top next to the cannon turret!

That looks awesome! The Grizzly is one of those vehicles I passed on and regret not getting it.

I'm not a fan of Tiger Force but you really do a great job on these. You should do a TF Rolling Thunder I think it would be a first. Anyway great work Bud.
