Default Project: COBRA Steel Crusher A.P.V.

so got a body awhile back...thought this would be a good idea for a quick and fun project...i was a big GI Joe fan back when i was little...no i didnt see the new movie and dont think i want to...but i did think this was a cool rig and would make a cool project...the goal...



the body as i got it in trade...







then i cleaned the body up, shaved hood vents and roof lights...and started to build some of the weapons, armor and accessories...



missile launchers(bumblebee weapons)


windshield bulletproofing


bulldozer blade(bumblebee doors)




roofrack/gun turret(combo of hummer and f150 racks/bars)+ official GI Joe gun


wheels(Titan/lower left) and an accidental teaser/mock-up pic..........................V


then i started to have orange peel issues...and was ready to throw this thing against a wall...well after many sandings and a dozen attempts at painting...i am happy enough with the paint that i am moving on...final assembly and completion pics are on their way...hope to enter this into the next COTM.....finally

hopefully back tomorrow with updates.....hope you all like it so far...
