i loath the night spected so i decided to ditch grand slam for torpedo and a color scheme that better reflected the new driver.

this was done with krylon satin black, krylon satin river rock and testors flat black and orange

Nice touch with the orange accents. Now you should give it a better name to reflect its new camo - it looks like a killer whale or a sting-ray.

I agree and kind of wish you'd continued with the orange onto the torpedos. Then make the whole vehicle one of those Star Wars like Transformers. :D

Excellent color choices...the added details with the orange paint and stickers really finish off a great custom...well done...I like the name Orca...it's not been used by joe vehicle before, seems to fit the color scheme.

As nice as your work is though...I'm not really wowed by the custom...I don't think that's your fault as much as it's my being sick of the Sharc...unless you want to modd it more and give it tank treads and armor and other awesomness I don't think much can be done to revive such an overused vehicle.

i really don't care for the sharc/night specter at all as a joe vehicle either but for $5 i could not pass up the opportunity to do something creative to make it somewhat interesting. that and the fact that it came with grand slam is mind boggeling to me. what i'd like to do is pick up another at the clearance price and do it in either wetsuit or cobra eel colors and wiat for the 25th figures to come if they ever will.

call it whatever you will, i only used the name so it would be easy to know what it started as. i'll go with whatever name you guys feel best repesents it.

i had debated using orange on the missles but just couldn't decide where to stop with accent color. it's very easy to go to far.

Looks sharpe. Great choice to match torpedo's colors. Only thing I dont like is the teeth stickers. I'd it or one if they came in that color.
