Wheelie Attack Vehicle reporting for duty
Got this a while back from Mad Zero in a rather fetching lenor blue. Body was pretty mint until i gave it the usual gravelrash treatment on the front corners above the windows and all down the sides. As this is now my favourite leccy basher i thought it only fair to treat it to a nice paintjob. I chose the desert camo as its always at the beach and the next Kent Bash will be at Greatstone so this should blend in quite nicely. Not too sure how long the matt black parts will last before chipping, i tried my best to get some sort of key on the chrome parts by wet and drying them but as im sure you know they are quite tricky to get in all the nooks and crannys so its tarmac running days are over for now. The brown blobs on the camo were done by using 2' wide masking tape with the shapes cut out for stencils which i had a bit of a nightmare with as the tape allowed quite a lot of paint to bleed through on the edges but i think i salvaged it ok, dont look at the stars too closely tho ;-)

That camo scheme looks great. This army van makes me think of 'Stripes', the Bill Murray/John Candy film from the 80's
mr_pushrod
Looking good although I'd probably do the backs of the wheels as well, lol.
bangstick
yeah i wish i had done the backs now too, DOH! my excuse is the trye were glued and it was bad enough masking one side let alone two. Thanks for the comments guys

That is soooo sweet covered in splaterings of dirt. Maybe we should call it Vanessa's 'back box'
Stefan
troop transport in style, nice one! Does it haul ammo or beer?
bangstick
Defo beer lol. Im glad you didnt try to name it vanessa's dirt box as that would be filthy and childish, thanks guys

Gasp! A desert version box, mmmhh... good idea. Bravo!
bangstick
Thanks fabrimtb, not in the same league as the camo detail on your wild willy driver by a long way, but my 1st go at camo so not too bad

Verry cool! I am no big fan of camoflauge, but this one looks really kind and scooby, lovely work!
bangstick
Yes i agree, i think my lack of an airbrush lends it a more cartoony feel while still looking fairly effective. Thanks

Cheers chris. The mrs thought it would be funny to make a special stencil in honour of my TC username and i cant believe nobody has spotted it yet :-p
