Hey everyone, this is my first custom tank, it's not GI-Joe, but it's still 3 3/4s scale, it's from "Power Team Elite" and it's the "World Peacekeepers Combat Tank" originally, now I've customized it for my Cobra Forces. It's almost the same color as the Cobra Maggot, I mixed the paint myself, so there is no color quite like it. This is my very first custom paint job on anything plastic. I think it turned out okay in the end though. What are your thoughts?? I'm thinking about painting camofluage on it next week. I'm good on it for now. I spent about 3 hours on it.

Links to the pics are below:

Maybe add some Cobra decals to it? Check out apacolypse's python ROCC in one of the other threads. Some urban camo design might be cool.

Be sure to check out www.gijoeheaven.com he has some really great repro decals - die cut, no smudging and crystal clear. His decals rival the originals.

hey thanks again everyone.

I'm hoping to have more pics up by tonight after work. No red cobra insignias yet, waiting on mail for those to arrive, but you will still be able to see the tank crew with the tank, all customized viper blue....
