Here's a look at the decal sizing (printed on paper as a sample)...
Soooooooo cute...hahahaa...
Dang that thing is HUGE!!
Now I"m out of styrene again. So I have to wait for the next batch to arrive. Hope to have this finished next weekend.
That's absolutely outstanding!...so freaking cool!...really starting to come together...
Do you plan to drop the turret down a bit?...seems to be riding higher than the baby version...

Thanks for the comments.
I think I'm going to have to shave about a half inch off the gun height. But I'll know better when the upper section is done.
And, yes, that smaller HISS is 1:18th. =)
Here's the back painted...

Didn't plan on it. It's 1/4" Plexi, so it's a PITA to work with. Don't think it works as is? (And I do appreciate your feedback since you've been following this from the beginning.)
It's one of those- just want to be done with it now- issues. And I didn't think too many people would notice.
Got the second one done, except for the paint. I'll be using Tamiya Metallic Black. This will be the "factory fresh" tank. So no weathering.
Etching.....
Painted interior. It's a bit different from the other. I used whatever computer parts I had.....
One random pic with the canopy back on...

That was taken from the couch- zooming in on it.
Edit: Forgot to mention- got one of these on a scale- weighed in at 15 pounds. And it's dimensions are 12.5"W 29"L 18"H

this thing will make joe fans orgasm for sure, I can't believe how well it turned out. I love 12" inch stuff, so this looks great!
Now, you just need to start pumping these out en mass and sell them

Thanks, guys.
Here's a look at the finished HISS Tanks.....
(The Tanks weighed in at15 pounds each. And their dimensions are 12.5"W 29"L 18"H)
One is factory fresh, while the other is weathered.

A special thanks to Joe Harris for helping me out with the decals. They turned out awesome, and really added the finishing touch I wanted.
