GeekSpeed 3 Posted January 2, 2015 Hi everyone. I am new here, but have lurked for a while. I am just starting to collect the now-vintage RCs that I lust after in my youth. I have rebuild my old Clodbuster, rebuilt a Clod for my boy, and have started rebuild a Frog I got for 20 bucks. I will also be starting on my old RC10 soon. I may be picking up a Striker and an FX10 in a few days as well. Anyway, I get lots of good inspiration from you guys here, so thanks for that. It looks like I differ from most of the people here in that I am not much of a box art person. Box art is all good, but it's just not my thing. So, I thought it would be fun to have a thread for non-box art cars. I figure it will be good for inspiration and help get everyone's creative juices flowing. Let's see what you got!

yellowcat 117 Posted January 2, 2015 Here is my Clodbuster Godzilla. http://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=73700&hl= Graphics in detail. Flame work layout, decal artwork, hand cut vinyl lettering and Engine color from Japan. Engine color goes on smooth and sticks to lexan like skin and fuel proof. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XV Pilot 1936 Posted January 2, 2015 That looks like one badword of a beast, what is it? That, dear sir, is a hopped up DF01 Manta Ray. I restored and modded it for a vintage meeting last year.

GeekSpeed 3 Posted January 2, 2015 Nice guys! I love the Godzilla, that is so awesome in an 80's over-the-top kind of way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shodog 1834 Posted January 3, 2015 In my case you'd have to ask what is box art because I rarely paint them like the box. Here are some of my Rough Riders 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Klausen 1197 Posted January 4, 2015 Nice builds guys. I myself prefer boxarts, but have made a few, that's not. Here is my fully custombuild Clod, and a Boomer I once made: 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shodog 1834 Posted January 4, 2015 I really think this should have been the box art for the hornet instead of black 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
one_hit 1037 Posted January 4, 2015 This isn't a vintage model but she's currently the only non-boxart car I have DT03 Neo Fighter Buggy with Frog livery painted with PS-57 Pearl White and PS-60 Bright Mica Red 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markbt73 5290 Posted January 4, 2015 You mean you're supposed to paint 'em like the one on the box? (Some great paint jobs in this thread. Absolutely LOVE that red, green, and white Avante.) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr crispy 2293 Posted January 5, 2015 This is probably my most un-box art car I've done. That's a shortened TL01 configured to RWD, with a Kamtec Baja bodyshell 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamiya1/10 382 Posted January 6, 2015 Ok put your glasses on for the little princes kitcar... That paint job really makes it attractive by high ligting the various penals that made up the body. The decals are OK after noticing the painted nose for cat or rabbit like front. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nitomor 2122 Posted January 6, 2015 What shell is that pink one? And what chassis is it on. Two that stand out for me, and there are some great ones here, but the Spektrum Avante and XV's Manta Ray which looks miles better than the box art. I used to have a manta ray years ago!
