2007 Power Team Elite World Peacekeeper 1:18 Main Battle Tank

[ejasonrichmond]

did you tear it apart to paint it?

[lunacy05]

@ejasonrichmond Yup, that's right, i had to dismantle the entire tank, but it's easy to dismantle it coz there's screws on the bottom :)

[shiro80]

thats a PLA type 99 tank do they have PLA action figures?

[Exilninja]

@shiro80

They don't have PLA action figures, instead they have US Marines in woodland camo, weirdly, the woodland camo is quite similar to the PLA woodland camo instead of the MARPAT camo the Marines actually use.

[damo9811]

have you looked at bloodforthebaron yet?

[lunacy05]

@damo9811 Yup, i just checked, the UK's version of the Action Force :)

[damo9811]

@lunacy05 thats it exactly.was in my local sci-fi shop the other week and picked up baron ironblood,a red shadow,sas force commando and z force captain and 2 vechiles

[lunacy05]

@damo9811 Wow, those must have cost a lot, from what i heard, they're pretty rare? :O

[damo9811]

@lunacy05 they were all loose,no packaging but the red shadow is in an as new condition,the others have a bit of wear and tear,but its action force so i would have been mad to pass them up,he also has a lot of loose figures in,both the gi joe /action force and the ORIGINAL action force variants.i got mine for 40 euro all in

[lunacy05]

@damo9811 That's actually a good deal, despite them being loose, ebay's selling them really expensive :D

[damo9811]

@lunacy05 i was actually surprised he let me have them for that price,as you say a good deal.i love the idea that baron ironblood is none other than cobra commander,bet nobody seen that 1 coming

[lunacy05]

@damo9811 Lol, yup, i was quite surprised when i found that out in the comics xD

[damo9811]

@lunacy05 as that idea runs contradictary to the us continuity i think it was done as a way of explaing to european readers how and why action force became part of gi joe

[lunacy05]

@damo9811 I actually like the action force series when Cobra Commander's around, coz somehow the "action" part seems grittier than Marvel's :D

[damo9811]

@lunacy05 i prefer exactly the same,and for the same reason

[damo9811]

i forgot to say happy new year to you and i hope you had a good christmas, brother

[lunacy05]

@damo9811 And a happy new year to you too! :D

[damo9811]

i may have mentioned this to you before,have you seen the "gi joe / transformers skystriker crossover".its the actuall skystriker but in the colours of starscream from transformers g1,the pilot figure it comes with is cobra commander and his gun is megatron scaled down to fit in his hand

[lunacy05]

@damo9811 Yup, that's the SDCC 2011 exclusive which is extremely hard to get and very expensive in ebay :(

[damo9811]

@lunacy05 thats the 1...and you are right,its very expensive on e-bay

[damo9811]

my mistake.i should have said toysnfun.co.uk....not toysnstuff.oops

[damo9811]

you are more than welcome,was just checking out the internet and found a place in the uk [toysnstuff] that have more or less the full range and reasonably priced too.

[damo9811]

excllent video yet again.im actually looking for this and when i get it im going to paint it in urban camo [black,white,medium gray and dark gray]

[lunacy05]

@damo9811 Thanks very much, damo! I don't much of the world peacekeepers line, maybe you can try your luck in your area or in Ebay :)

[EDzzzzz13]

one more question dude.. how did you paint the wheels??? tnx =)

[lunacy05]

@EDzzzzz13 Well, i had to dismantle the tank tracks first (by pushing the pins out). Once the tracks are out, i cover the entire body with the blue coat, only then, i paint the wheels individually :)

[EDzzzzz13]

can i use medium blue(color) acrylic spray paint???

[lunacy05]

@EDzzzzz13 You might need to test and experiment the paint first before applying it straight to your tank, just in case if it didn't turn out the way you want it but in anycase, you could try :)

[tigertank900]

I think got model type 98

[tigertank900]

I think add china flag on it

[tigertank900]

Dude info the china turret and t 72 hull

[lunacy05]

@tigertank900 Ooooo, thanks very much for the info! :D

[tigertank900]

I was got it the paint crap on tank mod winter color

[lunacy05]

@tigertank900 Good luck on your custom paintjob  :D

[garoquel]

actually this is a chinese type 98 tank



[lunacy05]

@garoquel Yup, i only found out about that after i made the review :S

[ReconSniperGuy]

Im sorry but could u make a tutorial of how to paint gi joe vehiacles? im going to paint a chopper but I dont know how to. =)

[lunacy05]

@ReconSniperGuy Well, i don't have any vehicles that i needed to paint at the moment but i can give you some tips :)

[lunacy05]

@ReconSniperGuy 1) Dismantle the entire vehicle

2) Get model kit spray cans (Preferably Tamiya's brand)

3) Make sure when spraying the vehicle, make a distance of at least 1 feet away from the vehicle to avoid over coating the paint and causing air bubbles to pop out

4) Use model kit paints and brushes (make sure its a model kit brushes, the hair won't get pulled out so easily) to paint the smaller details

5) Finish off the vehicle with clear coat spray to prevent paint chips :)

[ReconSniperGuy]

@lunacy05 anks alot

[ReconSniperGuy]

@lunacy05 tanks alot i mean

[ViperGhost68]

@lunacy05 I,m Getting the Su-27 Flanker Power Team elite Toy

[datzfast]

i bought my son three of this tank and added a lazers to the barel with tape so he can lazer aim it at the enemy.

[lunacy05]

@datzfast That's pretty nifty to add the lasers at the barrels :D

[datzfast]

@lunacy05 yes and latter i intend to make the cannon shoot a spring powered BB at targest such as army men. the velecity low as to not cause damage. he plays with all those army toys almost daily. i agree that this line of toy is highly realistic. Adding spot lights with LED lights would also be easy.

[lunacy05]

@datzfast Oh, definitely easy to add the LED lights in, i've a few ppl's customs with the LED lighting on their tanks and military vehicles, looks awesome :D

[deleonfrancis60]

I going too paint mine with PLA colors by the way like your Cobra colors it like the Cobra forces captured it from the PLA force.

[lunacy05]

@deleonfrancis60 Thanks very much! I actually wanted to get another one to paint it into desert scheme but i don't have the space for another tank :(

[deleonfrancis60]

can you make that in too an RC tank?

[lunacy05]

@deleonfrancis60 Lol, i don't have that kinda skill to make it into RC tank xD

[MagicManToyReviews]

Hello really nice review and I love the color you painted it, really matches COBRA these work really well for Gi Joe figures and i am also a member of HissTank and it would be great if you could check out my channel.

[renzokukenleonhart]

hey u know if they have die cast tanks on 1/18 scale

[lunacy05]

@renzokukenleonhart On a 1/18 scale? I think they do have it :)

[renzokukenleonhart]

@lunacy05 for wat model do they have it for. I've been searching google for a T72 M1 diecast model but cant find any. Could you help me?

[lunacy05]

@renzokukenleonhart I'll try to look for them, it's not easy to find these in my area coz they don't sell these in many places :(

[renzokukenleonhart]

@lunacy05 for wat model do they have it for. I've been searching google for a T72 M1 diecast model kit but cant find any. Could you help me?

[MrFrostbite625]

@renzokukenleonhart This IS a 1:18 scale model t-72 m1 vehicle.

[datzfast]

@MrFrostbite625 you are nucking futs, it looks nothing like a T-72 russian tank

[MrFrostbite625]

@datzfast It does look like a T-72 it just lacks some accessories and its customized

[jordancorey]

i cant belive you there awesome world peace keepers. how can you paint it blue is the worst colour in the galaxy and the worst camo ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lunacy05]

@jordancorey Thank you for your feedback but the reason i painted it blue is to follow the same blue theme for Cobra, from the comic/cartoon from G.I. Joe

[cmsahe]

I hadn't paid attention to the Power Team Elite, until, a couple of months ago, I discovered a pair of tanks similar to the one in your video (molded green thou), they made an excellent addition to my Cobra army motorpool.

[lunacy05]

@cmsahe Yup, they make an excellent collection for G.i. joes, i would get more but i lacked of space lol xD

[datzfast]

blue plastic is horible

[MasterSilent101]

i have the look out tower

[lunacy05]

@spikey1957 Doh! Puns lol

[TheCROSSFIRE09]

[lunacy05]
