I don't want to just use a red HISS and a black VAMP for Red Jackal and Stalker because I want them to have their own unique gear rather than just reusing GIJoe and Cobra stuff (just like I gave them their own unique appearances).
As for the Shadowtrak, I want to make something that's more functional as an infantry carrier not unlike how it was portrayed in the Battle Action Force comics.
Sadly any Action Force-scale halftracks are very expensive collector pieces... And I wish to army build at least two or three, so I've not the budget for 40$+shipping halftracks...
There's been a few lads customising Traks with Tracks. They come up pretty good. I think the best thing for the job is one of the Corps APC's painted red tho (there I go again). I think some one already did one here?
TKW did a great apc, one of the best i've seen.
Jay thats the same head i used for my red jackal, think it works really well.
the sas guys are cool, really like the second one.

I don't want an APC, I want a Shadowtrak. But Shadowtraks served as attack vehicles and infantry carriers... you always say three or four Shadows riding in the back of one, unlike the toy that can only carry a driver and a rear gunner.
I'm looking for something along the lines of a WWII halftrack, but there aren't really any cheap and available enough for customization and army building.
And I did my Red Jackal over two years ago, so I probably beat you to the punch.
This is just a minor update of it since the initial red and silver were so dulled out.
Glad you like Hiryu. A lot of work went into that one, merely to pick the perfect parts.

Nice work Jay I like the use of that Destro as Red Jackal when I first saw that destro I thought oh my god what have they done but as Red Jackal it divorces him from the look of Destro making him look more original

That was the idea. Red Jackal has a cyborg face... I don't see why he'd need an entire Destro mask. The 2002 head looks more like a Terminator kind of deal, which works as a "bionic face".
I forget... did he have bionic eyes too? If so I could definitely paint those pupils red.
