SAS Hawk Mk 2 with Blades and Weapon Transport with Ton Up

[silverc]

Here's another Locust repaint to black for the SAS Hawk Mk 2. Blades got himself an upgrade in firepower, which is always appreciated.











I also made a SAS Weapon transport driven by Rock & Roll (or Ton Up, as you AF chaps like to call him):











The vehicles were painted with Krylon Fusion black spray paint, allowed to dry for at least a week, then sealed with Testors Dull Cote finish. The stickers are from Cobrastickers.com.

The figures were primed with Tamiya grey primer, painted with Model Masters, Pactra, and Tamiya paints, and sealed with Model Masters semi-gloss sealers. I used semi gloss instead of flat because the vintage GI Joe figures had a bit of shine to them. The flat seems to look fine on the 25th Anniversary customs, but I think SG looks better on the vintage.

I am going to order some stickers for the bomb disposal unit from j Ruben in Mexico to give it a little more realistic look.

I may attempt a SAS Panther custom this spring. I want to wait until it warms up a little because the spray painting was done in the garage when it was -15 degrees C, so I am surprised they turned out so well.

As I said before these, and the Enemy stuff, are simply stunning.

You can appreciate them more in their separate threads as the amount of stuff originally was just enormous.

Here, they can be appreciated for the high level of craftsmanship involved.

I may well copy the sas guy as he works SO well and fits in perfectly.

Just lovely!

You've achieved a really clean finish to those vehicles. Well done to you sir <Doffs Hat>

seriously these are so good i've started crying!!

Given the outlandish vehicles that turned up in the later Joe ranges, this Dragon Fly was surprisingly 'normal' and is spot-on for a Hawk II.

I think the paint job you've done is fantastic, just the right balance of grey and yellow.

The Hawk II is excellent, really, really nice.
