MRAP/M-ATV V.A.M.P. Mk. IV

Post by tkjaer21 » Wed Mar 27, 2013 9:42 am

I have been wanting to purchase this vehicle for a while. Nearly every time that I walk into a TRU. I loved M.A.S.K. as a kid and thought that this would make a perfect Jackhammer II for Cliff Dagger to drive. However, I think that it would be a very cool V.A.M.P. or STINGER Jeep as well.

This is not finished yet. I stilll need to do the following:

1. Mounted .50 Cal on top. - Done
2. Gun racks on the hood.
3. Mounted Fuel Cans on the side. -Done
4. Uparmor on the center of the Hood. - Done
5. Uparmor on the windows. - Done
6. Extra Tire mounted on the Back. - Done
7. VAMP II decals that I just ordered from cobrastickers. - Done
8. Mouned .50 Cal on the Hood. -Done
9. Add an Exhaust Pipe. -Done
10. Add Protective Shielding for the Gunner up top. -Done
11. Add Trim around the vehicle. -Done

I used the Playmobil TOP AGENTS 4878 Robo Gang Truck as the Basis. They are on clearance at TRU at the Moment for $23.

I had also bought the TOP AGENTS 4856 R/C add-on set to convert it into a R/C vehicle.

Lastly, I purchased the TOP AGENTS 4879 Spy Camera Set to ass to the fun and uniquness of
it.

Neat vehicle. I like seeing good "Joe" customs from time to time.

The new Vamp vehicle for the movie line is an interesting piece in itself that sort of pays homage to the original (Cobra) version with the missiles and cab covers. I got one which I repainted and gave different decals so it would better fit with the somewhat realistic POC and 30th lineup. Not wild about all the ninja themed stuff and GI Joe vehicles with Chinese characters on the labels that have come with the new movie stuff.
