One other item started last year... wow, near the ned of the summer I think, was my modern VAMP project. This was a piece I thought I would never get around to finishing, but never wanted to totally abandon it. The base vehicle is a Maisto Hummer HX Concept car. They are 1:18 scale, but maybe just a little smaller than Joe scale. Or maybe Joes have gotten bigger.
For those familiar with this vehicle, you'll see a noticeable change in the read of the vehicle as I dremeled off the angled hatch back. From there it was a fair amount of sanding and masking and painting. I used Krylon Italian Olive and Flat Black. After paint I was able to touch it up and wear it down with Model Masters Acrylics, add some final touches with decals and mount the two spring loaded launchers to it in place of the old VAMPs cannons. My intent was for this to be part of The Mission contest as an all terrain rescue vehicle, it just never happened.

I lucked across one at my local Target, despite not seeing any other vehicle by the same manufacturer there. They are all over ebay as well.

Thanks everyone. I am glad I had some time to add the last few touches and call it done.
