POC G.I.Joe HissTank (w/ Driver n Gunner)-KeepitCleanCustoms

[keepitclean]

to celebrate my 1yr anniversary in customizing I present you with this piece. The theme is a "what if" type one, with my two custom joes "Grease Monkey" n "Bombshell" reconditioning a Cobra Hisstank into a G.I.Joe weapon for covert ops. :ymdevil:

The tank was painted with a base coat of krylon spray paint and details were painted with citadel acrylics. Hope you dig, I know there was a ton of Hisstanks customized amongst the community but I had to add one with my own twist. I hope to one day revisit this piece with some custom lighting.

Ingredients:
-Cobra POC Hisstank w/ some random Zoid Parts +shapeways rocketpod

Grease Monkey figure:
-POTC Angelica head
-Renegades Scarlett torso
-ROC snake eyes thighs
-Resolute firefly lower legs

Bombshell figure:
-SDS grenades
-ROC baroness torso (?)
-SW juno elipse head
-25th Airborne helmet
-25th viper legs
-25th flash lower legs
-POC knee pads for elbow pads

DAMN!!!

That Hiss looks so much better! Makes me want to buy one. I really like that green.

and your chicks look Hot!

I'm really feeling this "red bottom squad"

The figs are the best part, very good job.

from parts, to paints, to photos, right on man!!! roposetoast:

 

[lancelot]

oh snap! I really need those rocket pods for my HISS. Do you think you can replace that silly rocket launcher cannon with a 20mm auto cannon? it could really use something more sufficient like that.

muchas gracias cowboy!

You have a 20 mm auto cannon in mind that would work with the scale? that sounds like excellent addition

 

[unclassified]

real nice. what lowers are they on the penolepe cruz figure? i love those se thighs, they are perfect with any lower. nice work on it all man

 

[thelegoguy]

Very very impressive. If they looked like that outta the box, I would be one happy dude. Great paint and mods.

Digging the driver chicks too. They look great!

You do some really outstanding work!

attention to detail is superb,top notch customizing![i cant be sure,but i think the fashion house prada, made some trainers/sneakers a few years ago...and one of the features was a red sole...so your fig's got a couture uniform.]lol.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

really nice paint work...not too over-the-top...also liking the colors you picked for your operators

funny how after getting some round shapeways stuff myself that i quickly recognized that the rocket pod was shapeways from the tell tall lines down the sides...

how much did the pod run if you dont mind me asking?...

You would either have to make one from scratch, or rip one off of a FOV Bravo Team Bradley and modify it in some manner. I think the POC Ghost Hawk came with some detatcahble guns that would work as smaller milimeter guns, but I'm not sure.

yea man in retrospect I should have sanded down that pod a little but you know...there is always next time. The missile pod ran for about $8 shoot me a PM if you want me to send you the link for it.

gotcha thanks! I'll keep my eyes open for a ghost hawk or that FOV

I like the twist on things, but if it ain't blue it ain't covert.

Your paint details are tight. Even different colors for all the buttons. The Color you used for the seats pops nice showing the detail in the seats.

Thanks for taking the time and effort on the presentation with the detailed close up shots.

The gun on the the 21st AH-1W is a 20mm. The Bradley is working with a 25mm. Correct scale on them. There's always the 25 on the Type 92, as well.


Either of the Hasbro guns would theoretically work in the correct mount. I was very tempted to use the GH one as a stand-in GAU-19.

Great work. I always like well-done custom female figures, Grease Monkey in particular.

I'd like her to grease my monkey. (just saying what everyone's thinking)

 

[danielgogeta]

very neat and clean HISS custom...

and the curves of your hot female figure is hard to miss

Your work is very mature. How long has it taken you to get to this point? What kind of hours do you log on a project like this? Like, did you go to school for this? I imagine that the ladies were in the works anyway, probably - or were they created just with the tank in mind all along?

No kidding, I see Shep Paine in your colors and subtlety. Perhaps what really struck me (in comparison to Paine) was the inspiration your work hands out. One can't help but imagine the grandest things when Sheperd Paine's stuff is on display.

I've got me two Crimson HISSes stockpiled at my table since Feb, just waiting for this kind of treatment. I've got lots of Testors OD spray and different size/intensity easy-click LED things (can't beat Big Lots for these) which I'm hoping to somehow mount. I've got x-acto's, lots of sheet-styrene, chains, stowage, various lil greebles and lotsa loctite.

Now, I've also got inspiration! Thanks!

Dude, thanks for the real nice kind words to answer your questions. I've been customizing for about a year ( I actually went to school for IT management), the internet and cool communities like these help build the craft for me and challenge me in different ways to kinda step my game up on every custom. I worked on this on and off for about 5-6 months. Yes, one of the ladies was actually in the works for one other custom I still have on my bench, the other was made specifically for the tank. Thanks for the introduction to the world of Sheperd Paine def see some new inspiration in his work, haven't heard of em until now I can def see some subtle similarities. Can't wait to see your tanks once you get cranking on em, I actually went out the other day and grabbed a crimson one to beef up a bit for another custom on the bench. Check out my FB page (facebook.com/keepitcleancustoms) for more stuff if you have any desire to check out my other work, I try to keep the more abstract stuff off this forum since it's more military based.

Excellent work. The female figures are even better.

Gracias!

very cool man.

much appreciated!
