So here is one of my current WIP projects, the Black Beret Vamp, as well as the squad leader Black Heart and his Remote Guided Mini-Tank nicknamed doorknocker
The base is a 30th Vamp, with a modded roof secton frmo the Combat Cruiser with the rear cut out to mimic it being a pick-up truck I am using diamond plate styrene for armor, bed & rear wall The front features barded wire, duel gatling guns and "stolen" guns from a Hiss The pack was kind of a pain in the ass, but it was worth it I think, it belonged to one of my Slaughter's Marauders, add the sword sheath from the latest Sanke Eyes as a carrier for the shotgun (Thanks Maurauder's Gun Runners), and had a POC Beachhead webgear that had the peg broken so I trimmed the lower rear portion off and glued it to the pack, in doing so it allowed me to add a place for some stick grenades and a machete

Not too sure about the guns on the bottom of the front. Are you going to paint the diamond plate?

I too am on the fence about the guns, and yes the diamond plate will be apinted, just trying to decide on the base paint, I may go gun metal on the diamond plate over the traditional silver

Yeah, I'd lose the chin guns but on the whole it looks awesome.
Your Black Heart character has a nice "get your ass out here and get down on your face Mother..." look about him. Or, he'll just shoot 'em.

Upon first design I felt I needed some armament added, but since this pic I have leaned in a different direction with that, I will post pics of the changes later...with that said I am debating on going gloss black for the base and maybe a dark silver for the top while leaving the doors black, oh and the doors, yeah I did something a lil special for them (well at least one to start) pics to come later as well

If you take the AA gun of of a crossfire, that would look cool mounted in the back third world style!! But I like your idea on painting the diamond plate black, with a dry brush silver top.

So a lil progress report, did the final mock up, then first coat of paint, and first post paint mock up. Diamond plate on roof needs to be painted, going with the dark grey metallic on the diamond plate in the bed which will also go on the roof, sidesteps and int. diamond plate.

Are these based on the 80's paperback novel series by chance or just your own black beret team?
