I've always loved the '86 Sears Christmas Catalog exclusive C.A.T. but finding a good quality one for under $100 on Ebay is near impossible, so I found a Target Mobat for around $7 and spent about $15 on paint and now I have one for a lot less. Unfortunately I got gloss black, don't know what I was doing when I picked it, but it still looks pretty good in person. I'm thinking I'll do another in flat black, but I still like this one. Stickers are from Cobra Stickers. Let me know what you guys think.

I kinda like the glossy look..if you did a dio with Night Force or something night time..with the right lighting the gloss might pick up really cool.
Plus I cant stop humming the Night Rider theme now...good work man! |

I think maybe the back story will be that this tank and it's CG's won a major victory over the Joes and Cobra Commander threw a parade for them. They didn't have a chance to touch up the paint but they did give it a nice buffing of Cobra Wax.

Very cool. I have one of the originals, it's pretty cool in those colors.

Great!
I've got an extra MOBAT I was given, I've been wanting to do this for a while. What red is that? It looks good. Tough call with the finish. I don't have a CAT, but some plastics do have quite a bit of shine. From experimenting, I've found a Satin finish can give a toyish finish if you're trying for a reproduction. A matte spray over thr gloss may end up that way. Eithe way, I think it looks great, you've given me some confidence in working on mine. |
