so i just put the base colors on my indy truck for a little project of mine.
going to use this as my "ARBCO" truck, whenever i need to slip some troops or BATs through the city. "right under their noses..." took it apart and sprayed with krylon fusion blue, brown, satin tan. test shot with some of my vipers to show scale and basic colors. so far, so good... going to ad some silver and black trim (bumper, roof rack, latches, etc.) and eventually stencil some ARBCO symbols on the sides of the canvas. maybe a custom ARBCO front license plate. when i do that i'll update with more pics in better (outside) lighting. this was a pretty easy vehicle to take apart. i recommend this for anyone looking to do a custom vehicle. its simple, fun, and effective! hardest part was masking the windshield.

That is awesome. It would be cool if you had some sort of Arbco logo on the side! Great work!

Cobrastickers.com has Arbco stickers now. Nice work - especially the photo. Krylon fusion is awesome for vehicles.

You should do the command car also. I know it looks a little to 'old fashioned' but it's almost the exact same thing Cobra Commander is driven around in, in the 1st issue of G.I.Joe (Marvel)

I almost bought one of those trucks for this exact purpose. I still think it looks a little too 1938-ish though? great job on the painting!

thanks guys!
it really was a simple repaint, i encourage you all to give it a shot! GI Eddie, give in to your temptation! i was planning on this for a while, saw it on sale and skipped it. finally caved when it went back to normal price. D'OH! get it! and i challenge you and everyone else to make a JOE troop carrier version with a camo canvas cover!!! (that's what i'd do next!) and THANKS for the mention of the ARBCO stickers at cobrastickers! i'll use those as the base of my stencil! (i really want a stencil look on the canvas cover to give it that sneaky feel) next time i post i should have a good update! although it might be a while... sister in law's b-day today so we'll be busy celebrating. thanks again for all the compliments!
