KING H.I.S.S. - double seated FINAL
« on: January 10, 2011, 03:25:34 PM »
Hi guys, thought that maybe you would like to see my first vehicle custom still a WIP





for the next two images, I did some photoshop tests to see how it will look like if I double the cannons





Test shot for the canopy, I'll probably try to cut the "inner" sections an keep each glass individual...





And...

I had this silly idea of using the Hiss Tank v5 tracks








So, what are your thoughts ?

I like it, not sure about the extra guns on top, I also like the idea of the new Hiss tank treads, but wish they filled in the underside of the tank more like the original.

Great work.

I like but have you thought about adding some plastic to cover where the two turrets were? and some missile pods on the side or a under body cannon?

I know my local hobby shop carries the plastic that would work to cover the whole over. what type of puddy did you use?

Great Job so far!  Keep the PoC treads on it and double the guns!

That is pretty cool. I really like the new Hiss treads on it.

The back looks like it needs to be sanded down a bit more.

Now imagine it in chrome.  :wink:

BTW, you get a timbit!

Thanks everybody. Of course it's no final yet. The hole will be filled and it needs some sanding and painting.

PS, Chrome would be coool ;-)

I've always wondered what a HISS would look like if it was made to match the first appearances in the comics (two seater/drop-down cockpit).  Now I know and it looks awesome!  Keep up the good work!

Hi everybody,

I finally manage to find some time to continue my project. Still on primer, next will be final color.

Pictures are always the best way to show where we are...

here we go







both canopy are individual







And because i'm sure all of you are dying to know... yes i've kept the "Elevating Attack Position" system. ;-)



so what do you think ?
