I'm a Cobra fan and I like all the Cobra troopers inherently. But there's one thing that the terrorist org lacks: a good troop transport. Sure we have HISS tanks and a few hydrofoils but at the ned of the day, they can't carry a lot, may be a maximum of ten soldiers tops. So I started this project a few weeks back.
The vehicle is an APC (armored personnel carrier) with some added guns for good measure. The overall design is akin to the DTC HISS but I wanted it a step above so I'll be adding more details as time goes by. The difference, however is that it can carry approximately 20 troopers! Trust me on this. I tested it. Sure, 16 of them are all standing up but, dang, that's still an impressive number. Finally a good Cobra troop transport. Oh, and as for the Constrictor driver, he is a HISS driver (see the resemblance?) who got promoted just 'cuz he made it out of several firefights with his HISS in one piece, a true feat considering the HISS tanks are the first to go in EVERY battle. He needs more paint detail on his removable helmet but I'll be adding that as time goes by. Hopefully, you'll all enjoy this little project. It's far, far, far from done. I'll be adding light and sounds on this thing and better paint apps as well as plastic window panels and maybe a faux tv screen inside. My custom budget ran out so I'll have to sit on my hands in the meantime. Postscript: I chose the name "Constrictor" 'cuz it fits the size of the vehicle and how it can put the "squeeze" on the Joes when the Cobra troopers bust out of it. Heck, I was torn between that, Anaconda, RATT, and APOC. Constrictor just sounds meaner. ;)

Ateneo eh?
Animo... err wait... btw, a black-n-white cammo would be nice. since you already have the flat black base, you just need some white stripes or whatnot.

That looks awesome. Makes me wish I had picked the one up with tank treads at Target now.
Great color scheme so far. Love the decal placement. That would be scary as hell to see in your rearview mirror. |
