So always been a big fan of the Canadian Joecon HATE Tank, but I could never realistically get a hold of one at an affordable price.
A few years back I explored and perused the possibility of actually getting my stuff chromed privately. And did so with a Tomahawk and Skystriker. Both of which turned out beautifully BUT it was an expensive process which set me back about $150 a piece. So I began to explore alternatives. What I came up with is from a friend who decked out his motorcycle helmet with these sheets of vinyl sticker wrap. Found some in chrome and made this... ...its my 2nd attempt at working with it. The 1st was scrapped. And I will admit the effect is not perfect, and it does take some SERIOUS effort to make it look seamless, but it does come out pretty sweet. My HATE Tank clearly has some different stickers. There is no repro label for the a red maple leaf cobra logo so I improvised with what I had available. The effect isn't perfect but overall looks pretty decent. Last edited by Owner of a Lonely B.A.T.; 07-27-2019 at 09:02 PM.. |

Wow...I'm currently hating you for making such a nice HATE tank.
Awesome work!

Nice work. The HATE tank is my favourite version of the HISS. If I die my buddy gets mine because we named his first car the hate tank.

Wicked-cool, bro! I looks very seamless to me... At least where it should be seamless.
