Title: HISS Scout update and Desert Rockslide sticker update
Post by: nighthawk on July 23, 2012, 01:56:17 PM

I really like this little vehicle.  However, I just found it to look incomplete.  I finally finished this custom that I started over a year ago when these first showed up in Canada.  I'm really happy with it as I felt it was missing a canopy.  I got this idea after seeing the Retalliation repaint of this.

This isn't really a custom, but I had to take it apart to do this so it's not as simple as sticking stickers I guess...haha. 

What I didn't like about this vehicle was how the teeth stickers were meant to be put on behind the guns.

I took it apart and put it right with the guns just like in the box art.  Those guns were a pain to remove though.

What do you think of this sticker placement for the teeth?  The driver is my custom Felino (TF Dusty but in his desert gear)

I really like what you did with that roll bar. It makes sense.

Try Zellers. I've seen a few of the cycle armour sets on the shelves. Good chance the Scouts might still be around. It will cost you around $22 at Zellers.

Lucky you.  I can't ever go to Canadian Joecon (or any Joe con for that matter) cause it's too far away.
