For the 6 inch Joe line Had to have a Fast Strike Vehicle.
So decided to make a Desert patrol Vehicle. Based upon the SOCCOM DPV Used by SEALs, Delta and SFG. Went with the DPV over the AWE as think the Real World version is much cooler. However I am doing a second one as a GI JOE AWE (to sell once done). 3 Bucket Seats Wire Mesh Roof to stop casings falling on Driver and Commander from the .50 M2 HMG. Side Baskets have Wire mesh sides. DPV rear gunner Framework and DPV bumper. MK19 Auto Grenade Launcher Front for Commander. Still needs 3 BEACHHEADS (customised) to be the crew. Once I can bloody find ANY LOL As you can see 6inch Destro is checking it out to try and arrange some Sales. Also first photo is a Mezco One 12 Diabolik (Great DIVER figure). SO works well with Most 1/12 brands Last edited by Stonewall; 02-16-2021 at 04:44 AM.. |

Looks rad, man! The mesh screening is an inspired detail to an already fantastic vehicle. Is this a remote control vehicle? Just curious, as the wheels/axels look like they are from an R/C vehicle.

Thank you for the kind words.
@nighthawk & shakka85. The body shell is a Tamiya RC FAV. I also used the axles and wheels. No RC components installed. I made the Extended base with storage bins either side. Made rods and secured Wire mesh to them. Then capped off the wire mesh top with plastic trim. I then Added wire mesh to the roof to prevent cases falling upon front crew. Added the Three Bucket seats (standard RC 1/10 Bucket seats) and the Rear Gunners Extra Rollbar cage. Utilising the Weapons hardpoint from the Tamiya 1/12 HMMWV roof piece (Carefully cut from Lid). Installed that onto the Wiremesh roof. Then added M2 .50 HMG to that hardpoint weapons fixture. The MK19 at the front was then Added. Now just need to Load Up and Terrorise some COBRA Last edited by Stonewall; 02-16-2021 at 04:44 AM.. |
