MVAMP Command Vehicle

[Rick]

Wanted an enclosed Desert VAMP Command type vehicle to compliment the Gun Truck .

Finished the body paint, interior paint apps and started on the exterior. Finish that, then weather and outfit. Still going to add laptops and video screens for rear passengers on the back of the front head rests.

Definitely has that MRAP feel.

Going to try windows and a windshield too

Awesome! Can't wait to see it all weathered up!

Awesomely simple, but sweet. I can't rember if I asked before, how easy/hard is it to get joe arms to attach to those torsos?

 

[Rick]

Easy, you just have to trim down the circumference of the peg a tad for a tight fit.

Looks good, Rick. What paint did you use on MVAMP? Also, those are some sharp figures you made. BTW, thanks for advice about paper patches for the figures, they do look better than decals.

Slick work Rick

 

[Rick]

I used Tamiya "Light Sand"

Yeah the paper has thickness and just looks more like fabric than a shiny decal

Sweet! I have a ninja cruiser destined for something like this. Just as soon as I decide to tackle customizing vehicles.

This is super cool. I've never seen this vehicle in toyland -- what is the source vehicle? Pardon my ignorance if you scratch-built the whole thing. I want to try my hand at vehicle customizing, even though I'll just put it in a big plastic tote, forget about it for 10 years, then sell it on ebay to get extra dough for some holiday or birthday.

That might be my project at Custom Con.

It's a GI Joe Retaliation Ninja Combat Cruiser.

If I'm not mistaken, most of it is the Ninja Combat Cruiser from the Retaliation line. It's a pretty sweet base vehicle, except for the Rollcage popping off at the drop of a hat. Nothing some superglue won't fix though.
