Some vehicle customs

Thought Id share a couple of vehicle customs Ive done.
My firts ever vehicle custom (I was about 15 when I did that- but Im still fairly proud of it, even though its as rough as the proverbial..)
just an old SAS Panther redone in a Cobra-ish colour scheme.
My avatar- I call it the UAV (Urban Assault Vehicle), but after the Baron renamed it, I may change

Eek what did I say? Whirlwolf?
I suppose the other abbreviation would be Wolfwind but it would then be forever known as the Dogfart.
Seriously, that's an incredible idea which I just have to steal. I love it. I like the urban camo too, that must have taken a while.
Whirlverine perhaps?
BTW is it my imagination or are the Vamp wheels larger than the Panthers?

well, Id love to see one done in Shadows red, with the skull/crossbones all over it.
Thatd be cool.
Im sure that was a Panther- or Stinger, I cant remember, but youre right, the wheels do look bigger.

Serendipity at work.
Looking forward to the
Dogfart
Jim- just remember to be careful when joining the two- make sure theres just enough glue, otherwise the turret will stick.

I also stole Bigtattoo's idea for the whirlwolf. I don't think I used any glue to connect the two parts though, I think I used the bottom of the turret from Slaughter's equalizer and glued that to the whirlwind part so that I didn't get glue into the rotation area

Ingenious- Baron Id do that also, itd be far better with a mobile turret.

Thanks for the tips, guys. Anybody got a spare equalizer turret base?

you could actually just jury-rig the bottom of the Whirlwinds missle launcher- just saw/dremel it off to the right shape.
That would solve the issue
