Hello fellow Tankers...
I wanted to share some pics with you all of a custom JUMP jet pack that Echo7Solo made for me and my Grand Slam. I posted a thread a few weeks back about needing an extra jet pack from the Cobra Air Trooper so that I could use it for my Grand Slam. I know that with Wave 7 out pleanty of you are looking to use the silver jet pack that comes with duke. MY only gripe with that one is that they didn't include the laser gun and the hose attachment. I know that Hasbro intends to release a Stalker figure later on down the line that has the entire jet pack, but I didn't want to wait for that one just incase it never sees the light of day. With that all said Echo7Solo offered to paint up an extra Cobra jetpack for me and ship it out free of charge. What a generous offer that was. It really shows that we Joe fans stick together and look out for one another even though we all run into scammers and scalpers from time to time. I was only expecting for him to paint the jet pack green. I wanted the engine exhausts to be silver, but I remember him saying that he ran out of silver paint. I would have just done that part using a silver paint Sharpie marker myself. When I opened the package to my surprise I couldn't believe my eyes. Echo7Solo went into so much detail, using a few paint colors including the silver I wanted. I am so gracious for the time and effort he put into painting up this thing. He's not so happy with the outcome, but I think it's amazing. All I need now is a flag decal for the back. Have a look for yourself... Last edited by Scoop; 05-11-2008 at 01:21 AM.. |

Dude,
That is killer work. I really like the detail on the back of the jet-pack! I can practically see the blinking red-lights on the back!!! Where did you score the red flame background? I use the R2D2 flames, but they don't fit nearly as well as your red flame set. |
