It's an age old question. How can I celebrate my love of Tamiya, the 80s and Superlambanana sculptures all in one way?



I think I have cracked it!



Inspired by my favourite Superlamb, Port-Traits (sic) Superlambanana outside the pump rooms at Albert Dock I splattered my Lunch with original 25 years old Garbage Pail Kids stickers.



I was amazed they still adhered considering they've been sitting in an old shoe box for over two decades!



The Lunchy is running with the usual bearing and uprated motor, in this case a Sports Tuned.

It also has oil shocks all round including the fifth shock mod and is using Frog adaptors to run on Willy wheels which I think add a bit of bling.



When I bought th Lunchy early last year I also bought a spare chrome tree primarily for the spare bodymounts but I have decided to fit the new chrome parts as the old ones were looking, well, very unchrome.


I haven't lacquered it yet but will do before I run it.



Anyway guy, what ya think?



If you're intrigued about Superlambananas either ask a Scouser or go to superlambanana.com




Do you like my bag? My inspiration. Me and my buddy.

Love those cards, the movie sucked. The Garbage Pailkids lunchbox? Quite nice, I think it would look better if you had pailkids all over it thou.

I think that is the most original idea I have seen in a lonnnnng time. I love it! I remember and still have those myself. I really like how you placed them also. And you even used the coveted ADAM BOMB. That gets extra points in my book. I would put clear coat on that till it was smooth as glass. After I tested it out on a sample sticker though of course. I am not sure how they might react. Into my favs it goes!

My Garbage Pail Kids collection from when I was a kid was one of the only things that survived from my parents getting rid of what they thought I was too old for. Too bad since I had what would be considered a fortune on eBay as far as toys and stuff goes. Anyways, great idea and I like the look. I'm actually working on my Lunchbox right now. Nothing too exciting like this but...pics will be up soon
