Always wanted to do a custom paint job in the sting. i love the arctic series so i was looking on how would a sea/jungle/swamp vehicle like the Sting would look for arctic environment. i did not had much help with paints.. there are very little paints that would stick good to vehicles plastic surface and all of them where out of my reach locally. i always loved the old Water Moccasin vehicle and when the Roc Sting came out i took 6 new ones from ToysRus shelves in a heart beat. this was just me wanting to do something with such a strong vehicle like the sting. the capacity to carry from 6 to 8 figures is insane for a vehicle not so big like others. so here is the custom job step by step. bare with me.. i am just a novice amateur and this was risky.. i did not wanted to lose one of my 6 babies lolz. hope you all like the color and the simplicity.. i did a small cockpit paint job.. not what i really wanted but i looks better than plain old green.i also only exchanged the head of copper head into the body of a snow serpent.. it fit tight in the cockpit but is not so hard, also placed a snow serpent on the sting turret
(White harris enamel aerosol spray)-Upper Shell (light gray harris enamel aerosol spray)Lower Shell and black attachments (black abro enamel aerosol paint)-Cockpit (regular testors for cockpit-silver,gold,blue,red) sorry for all the pics.. i guess i got exited about it. will have all my repaints in an album on my pro.. ev1 is invited to see em. later tankers Last edited by Cobra_Seph; 05-25-2010 at 02:41 PM.. |

I can't imagine driving that thing around in arctic conditions, but it certainly looks good! Nice job...

just touch up the skids.
really good though. I know how Hasbro loves this sort of thing. Why they haven't done it yet is a mystery. Looks almost factory.
