Actually I think it looks better with the winch on.
The Snake Trax missile launcher never bothered me as it just looked like a covered cannon. Which would make sense because the Ferrets gun would burn the hell out of the driver every time it was fired. I figured the Trax wasn't meant to be used well driving and was an anti-tank missile or cannon. So the Trax could be manuveured around the battlefield quickly and evade the heavier armor, set up in position, and take out an enemy bunker or tank. Good job modding it.

Hmm, I have a Tiger Claw sitting around, and an extra black Ferret cannon set. Unfortunately to put the Ferret cannon on it I would have to remove the parts that make the Tiger Claw unique (the grey flat decks on the front and rear). I could remove those pieces and add back the side missiles, Ferret cannon and front gun, which would basically make the Tiger Claw the same as the Tiger Paw was, just a Joe-colors repaint of the Ferret. The Tiger Claw to me seems like more of a personel mover/utilitarian vehicle than an attack platform. The missile launcher while better than alot of the spring-loaded ROC weapons still looks silly. Actually just realized the Tiger Claw would also make a decent medic vehicle as there's probably room for Doc's stretcher across the rear deck...

Dave sent me one of these and it is so much better than the clunky turquoise ROC contraption. I don't know if Broken Arrow will be offering them but anyone with an ROC Snake TRAX shoudl check it out.

I like what you have done. I still like the front winch too!

Handle bars and front gun are already black on the Snake Trax. That's why I had Aloysha cast the Ferret cannon in black so it would match.
The rear compartment cover would probably look decent in black, but I kinda like the new front end piece for the Snake Trax and the dark bluish compartment cover matches that so I left mine as is. I did however spray the last 2 inches or so of the exhaust pipes black. The only other thing I've noticed is that if the seat on the Snake Trax were alittle higher the 25th style figs would fit on it better. Since the seat is a removable piece, it would be possible to sculpt a new one and have it cast. Not sure I think it's worth doing all that work though. On the ROC Tiger Claw: I just noticed that the base of the cannon on top of the AWE Striker looks pretty close in dimension to the hole in the rear deck of the Tiger Claw. Going to try to obtain a AWE cannon and try it out on my Tiger Claw and see what it looks like. Might be a nice upgrade from the spring loaded launcher that vehicle came with.
