Alternate paintjobs for the Midnight Pumpkin.

[mongoose1983]

The Midnight Pumpkin Ford monster truck was my 1st Tamiya. I thought about opening a thread so you guys can share a picture of your alternate paintjobs for this classic vehicle. The first one I had was boxart, then I got a blue one, and now I was wondering I can maybe get another body to try something interesting. So far I think the model truck below looks pretty good. Might give it a try... someday.

You ever tried anything different than box-art paintjobs with your Ford MP trucks? If so, care to share a picture of it?

You all have a great Sunday!

That would be a perfect paint job for a monster truck

I want to get my kids a MP each.

Already have lexan shells, just need to hit the button on the kits.

Anyway, I want to do a Madusa inspired theme for my daughter, and Iron Man for my son.

Have too many shells to paint, so I should start knocking some out.

My brother in law did a Halloween inspired MP with Pumkin Jack from The Nightmare Before Christmas driving. These are the best photos I have of it.

I never did find out why he painted in silver [emoji53]

Love the ghoul in the reflection!

He's pretty ugly isn't he! 😉

Love the color! Comes to show that sometimes less is more.

My first RC too, 26 years ago. I sprayed it blue rather than black, and left some of the decals off. Still got it - pic below.

Got a new CW-01 I'm about to start building. It's a Unimog but I've just finished a custom Lunchbox shell for it, so I might as well get another Pumpkin body to go on it too. Got some ideas for non-boxart paint on that.

I would like to try and make a old junkyard Pumpkin, ya know..rust, etc.

Here is my under-ripe pumpkin sprayed with a base of Champagne and then a thin coat of Lime green.

I've always had a penchant for green vehicles and that green over champagne looks amazing.

[zomboided]

Shodog, that's a lucious luminous green vehicle...lovely

Conversely this one of mine is rather over-ripe... erm, I mean rotten:

Or just plain rusty...

Now that's A BEAUTY!

What I think would look cool is get a chrome version body and candy coat it with the transparent clear colored spray pants.

I bet it would look awesome!

I've thought about doing that. I do have the Chrome pumpkin body. I just don't have the courage to spray it.

Oh man I wish I had have seen this and used that Paint layering idea before I did my CR-01.

Extremely Nice work sir!!!

Berman, how did you get those ****** old looking lights on the slammed vegetable? Are you using those old fashioned bulbs from the 1890s, or have you coloured the lenses in some way?

Here's how my Lunchbox looked like sometime ago. In metallic blue with black windows.

Both my pumpkins have the old Tamiya RC Light Bulb Set, no tricks here

Grain of wheat bulbs then? Looks stonking.
