Title: POC HISS Scout upgrade
Post by: nighthawk on March 27, 2013, 12:28:45 PM

So, I actually really like the HISS Scout.  The only thing I didn't like was that it looked incomplete.  Originally, I just threw an ASP canopy on it to make it look more complete, but it was not connected.  Saw the Batpod for $6 the other day so I picked it up thinking I can do something with the cover to mount it onto the HISS Scout.  Ended up only using the metal bar on the hinge.  Basically drilled a hole in the side beside the headrest and shoved the rod through and drilled holes in the ASP canopy hinge part and put it over the rod.

The other thing I didn't like about the HISS Scout is there is a gunner's platform but no handles on the gun.  Using parts from the spring loaded weapon from ROC Eel, I made a handle for the gunner to hold the gun.

What do you think?

Now that looks like a complete vehicle. Before it always looked unfinished.

Great job!

Looks great.  Much better than before.
Gonna paint the 'roll cage' to match blues?

Thanks for the comments.  The roll cage actually matches in person.  It's just the flash that makes it look different.
