A simple progression - thanks to the baron for his cosmic cruiser idea (although i did have it first hee hee!)

The black looks a bit dark on it i think, i was looking for some dark grey but i couldnt find any. I think i still prefer my shadowtrak II / king trak though.

Looks great ,very clever use of the palitoy parts.
As Andy said, would have fitted in with the range released at the time/

Thank's guys! Ive only just started customising but i thought i would only try and use 'original' parts. I dont think it will be too long before i run out of ideas though and then go onto more modern toys.

Its a slippery slope towards taking up all your spare time, end up looking at figures and vehicles in a different way

Thank's Ironblood, they are from a wolverine. I think i prefer the king trak version though - everything seems to look a bit more 'right' on it to me.
