This started out as what I called my Quad Cat or Bobcat custom. I was looking at ways to change the design of the cab when I found a broken rear section of a Mean Dog. I realized I could cut it so that it just fit over top of the Cats front. Not quite all that easy it required a lot of cutting and extending out the front of the Snow Cat. I was able to use the tope part of the rear gate as the front grill, if you look closely it has lights in the four square holes. I also cut the top hinge of the canopy out to make more room for the figures to fit inside and then added my own scratch built hinged hatch cover. Tons of little styrene filler pieces were made to cover all the small gaps underneath and up top. I finished it in a metallic blue matte paint I've used several times. I think it really has that traditional Cobra Look.

This was a beat down Corps figure I probably got in a parts lot years ago. I recently found it and added new arms from Undertow, sanded off it's cheesy chest detail and painted it in a classic Cobra scheme.

The Cobra Blood Bath is the newest vehicle of destruction and terror designed by Cobra. The main cannon fires a shell that works like a guided missile. The Blood Bath was designed to rip through the Joes Maulers armour and other artillery. It is also used to take out building bunkers bridges and other infrastructure.

All WIPS can be found on face books Joecustoms critiques, JNCS and O ring warriors nation.

Sweet! You picked the name I came up with. Love it.

The figure is great. The paint looks factory. The vehicle is sick. The parts mesh damn near perfectly.

Can you take a pic of under the front?

I haven't seen any pics on how you attached the front axle.

The front treads are glued and screwed to the sides of the chassis. You really can't see what I've done anymore it's all covered up. It doesn't roll the way it is now. I could make it roll if I wanted I just didn't bother. All I'd have to do is add a second set of little roller wheels.

Yes thank you as soon as I read that I knew that was the name. It fits perfectly. The mods were the hardest I've done in awhile.

Came out great, That Mean Dog armor really finished it off nicely.

Yes what you have done with the Mean Dog parts is killer! Love this entire project including Purge Viper. Home run for sure my friend!

my new favorite from you blood! it has the best stance and look ! I could also see alley vipers using these to put down rioters!!

Yes I think you are onto something, I think this might be part of the Rage Tank family.

Glad you like it. I've always wanted to use that back piece of the Mean Dog. It makes it look Mean for sure.

I'm doing a whole series of Snow Cat customs. I have at least four more to go. Maybe more.

Thanks man. Yeah old Purge Viper was a real last minute addition. I actually just took him all apart did some touch ups and got its legs to fit together better.
