OMG that is awful. What was that person thinking. Call out the fasion police this guy needs arrested. lol. [8)][?]

Thanks

James

[fury_dice(2)]

Looks like a major Artex fetish to me [] probably one of these that has it all over the house and half-way up the walls [xx(]

[Jimmy_GT-R]

Funny thing is, imagine his real car/truck if thats what the R/C one looks like. It'll be a furry dog van like the one in Dumb and Dumber.

Thanks

James

[Scorchio]

Thats just pure ART MAN! a true statement based on the torture of humaity. Yep you got it, this particular human has used his f150 as a metaphor for torture [}].

I really like what he's done with the front grill though..........nothing. []

Each to their own.

[Shodog]

Man you guy freak out over the smallest things. So what if the tires are on backwards.

Jim

[SJoerD]

Don't think it's the tires Jim, that can be fixed easily - it's the wheels, they're painted! [:0]

[Jimmy_GT-R]

No its not that at all, I just cant beleive he is using a red antenna tube. What is he thinking. [:0][]

Thanks

James

[mymonsterbeetleisbroken]

can anyone read whats wrote accross the back of the truck bed. mite be something like crud foot, cos thats what it looks like [8D]

looks like its got a nasty battery to match the nasty paint aswell,

it looks like powder coating gone bad, very bad []

[Matt2000]

it looks like he has made it out of that cheap plastic marble effect kitchen worktops.

also i think that tyres work better the wrong way round, especially those one, they dig in more.

[TamiyaBeaterFleet]

That guy doesnt live too far away. I should deliver a pimp-slap on behalf of the club.

[pleiku68(2)]

I think is says "for sale by owner"..Now tell me how anyone could put a Red antenna on a nice truck like that???

And I thought I was **** at painting [8)] makes you shudder just looking at it[][:0]

[mymonsterbeetleisbroken]

just had a little play with it in irfanview [], it says "valvoline"

still, the paint job is worthey of the crappy plumbing the truck is resting on lol [}]

[SJoerD]

Dont need no infraview to read Valvoline. You can also clearly recognise the logo on the bonnet. []

I figured this sort of 'paintjob' to be just your thing Slayer. If you crash into anything, at least soft and fluffy - could be damage preventing... []

[mymonsterbeetleisbroken]

i neva knew what the logo looked like, you learn something everyday [] all i did was rotate the pic, ive got a bit of a headache at the moment and couldnt stand trying to read upside down letters [:I][]

what was this guys idea when he thought up this insane paint job[?][?][?]

either the shell is in rubish condition, or the guys brains are []

but at the end of the day a little brake fluid and its sorted

[The Slayer]

Hummphh are you questioning my superb driving skills [:I] Now i am going off to sulk and play with my Sindy Doll [] Thats about the level of my painting skills actually [8)]

The paint job looks similar to how the bodies look when the paint is bubling off with easy off oven cleaner sparyed on them.

Jerry, I agree with youon that tacky red antenna. boy what was that guy thinking

Jim

[WillyChang]

That stuff is "rock finish" paint, you can find it

at your homewares depot or art shops.

Guess paint prep would take all off 2 secs.

So what? so What?

You get better straightline directional stability when

the chevrons are pointed straight ahead, that's what! [}]

Sigh, all those poor Tamiya engineers spending all those

long hours perfecting the greatest All Terrain tyre thread

pattern, and now some silly yob thinks he knows better. [!]

C'mon Jim!! [|)]

[Green Blitz]

[][][!]Oh my God - is that carpet ?? Whats with the blue bit at the end of the tray - ran out of offcuts ? Please somebody rescue this truck and give it a real paint job. I think I would of preferred it in clear polycarbonate....badword I would of settled for no body at all !!!

[Type49rs]

Seems pretty obvious to me - its a camouflage paint job that the owner uses for rock crawling.[][]

[Tamiya1/10]

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder...and the owner wanted something different and took his time judging from the consideration he put into the sticker application. I think it sure beats just painting is black with some red strips. The only negative thing I have to say is the tires are installed incorrectly...unless just to be diff.

[splatto]

what the heck was this guy thinking[xx(][:0]

even my body looks better than that, and thats saying a lot.

it looks like he put it in glue and then rolled in that fine chip gravel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![8)]

[WillyChang]

Guess you guys don't hang out at the homewares depot too often?

You can get "rock" finish like that straight out of a spraycan.

No additional work required.

Scary... [:I]

[Matt2000]

that wouldn't be as fun though, there's nothing better than coating your pride and joy in loctite and skidding it across your driveway...
