Check out this amazing custom Modern Era Hi-Tech with UGCV by Hisstank.com forum member TheGabrielAngel! Here’s the backstory on these amazing pieces –
Hi-Tech is the G.I. Joe Team’s Operations Support Specialist. His real name is David P. Lewinski, he was born in St. Paul, Minnesota.
His primary military specialty is Armament Research & Design. His secondary military specialty is Telecommunications.
Although he is more likely to be wielding a soldering gun than one that shoots bullets, Hi-Tech can be depended on to pitch in during a real fight, by taking control of any number of complex technological weapons systems used by the G.I. Joe team as they battle the nefarious forces of Cobra. A good-natured soul who can’t bring himself to say “no,” Hi-Tech spends most of his off-duty time repairing the personal vehicles of G.I. Joe teammates, fixing their TVs and stereo systems, and troubleshooting their PCs and laptops. He doesn’t mind it a bit. He says it’s all good practice for when a key piece of a weapons system fails during a real fight.
His latest work involves developing the Warhound UGCV (Unmanned Ground Combat Vehicle), a robust, compact, unmanned, autonomous, multi-purpose ground reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition (RSTA) vehicle system possessing a scouting and direct engagement capability. It provides the G.I. Joe forces with remote reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition, nuclear, biological and chemical reconnaissance, obstacle breaching, and direct fire capability to neutralize threats and reduce risk to the G.I. Joe fighter.

That's awesome! I really like your custom bases as well. Nice job.
puma says

Blood Brigade says
Is that a Batman toy? Cool idea I like it.
phantro says
This is absolutely gorgeous. Your customs have so many levels of craftsmanship. I love the file card, the original design for the vehicle (which I am hoping you can break down the parts you used to build it) the paints are astounding, l specially love the weathering. The photography is gorgeous and that photo edit with it in action combined with the specs sheet is incredible and packaging worthy. I can't praise this enough. I would buy several of these at retail as viable updates to the pac rat. Bravo!
Mr Hebime says
A monster sized land drone? A super-sized PAC RAT? Awesomeness on 4 wheels? All of the above, and Front Page worthy to boot!
phantro says
Congrats on making front page brother! you deserve it. This beast is amazing!
TheGabrielAngel says
Indeed is has the Tumbler vibe to it, but it’s actually Max Steel Turbo Racer, stripped from all original play features, modified and painted.
TheGabrielAngel says
You guys are my customizing idols and your work is a real inspiration to me, I've been lurking around the forums for quite a while, secretly watching, admiring and learning from your work, continuously improving my customizing techniques until I felt confident enough it is worthy to show.
You set a high bar for me (and others ), I hope that someday I will be able to meet that level of craftsmanship.
