Until I find a better name ... this is the Tank that HISStress drives (I couldn't locate her to take a photograph with the tank)
This was another partial custom I bought off Nick last year at AR. He had already cut out the windshield area and painted it black. I reassembled everything and added stickers to try and imitate the original HISS.
One very important discovery while working on this project : I've always been stymied trying to work with clear plastics and glue. As we all know, CA or superglue will 'craze' or 'frost' styrene, acrylic, and other types of plastic. In the past, I've settled for just using dabs of Hot Glue to hold things like windshields or windows in place.
!! WELL NOT ANYMORE !!
Taking a page out of my own notebook, I used cut down slivers of a Glue Dot to hold the plastic in place (which was cut from a figure bubble) Being it was my first time, it was a little awkward (HEYOOO) and I got some in places where I didn't want it
but it worked, and I will definitely use this process moving forward.Attachment:
