I never loved the missile part of rolling thunder, so I decided to update one to my space marines joe-vers
I had one when i was a kid and sold it..... so first I had to re-purchase..... $60 later on ebay I started with the basic body removed the wheels. the side ramps we also kinda odd so I scraped a Bradley and a M113 APC for the side ramps I used the Bradley turret because there were no hatches on the old roiling thunder I cut the bottom and added a new floor, I recently saw some one working on a RT( rolling thunder ) and had dropped the floor, that did not work with my ramp idea so I built a new top from styrene to alow head room i used the seats from the bradley built in some monitors added some computers and used the pack and seat bench from the M113 APC i could not understand a military vehicle with huge glass windshields so i painted and them added the frames and dremeled some rivet holes couple pix after painting [ Last edited by wildstar09; 04-04-2012 at 04:56 PM.. |

I'm so inspired to destroy one of my RTs it's cheaper than buying a ROCC

Wow! I love how it looks so far. Shame we'll never see your completed one on store shelves.

This is awesome! My brother and I integrated the Aliens universe into our Joe verse back in '87. We would have begged for this if Hasbro had produced it.

The frames on the canopies look great, they give it a nice, mean look.

This looks great. Reminds me of the sweet Space 1999 ship. If only it were all white.
