I think I had a similar thread years ago on the old board... but does anyone have pics of some life size/full scale customs they've done ??
Examples:
Painting your quad to look like a Ferret ATV.
Dreadnok Logo'd Motorcycles.
Hand carved gunstocks to mate your sks into the Crimson Guard version .
I had my old Dakota pick-up painted the Cobra Royal Blue with Decals from J-man , I'm hoping Apac may still have some pics of...
Also I think maybe it was Cabana Jack that had a Stinger Jeep project going on that I never did get to see pics of. So any and all info and pics like these would be a welcome addition to this thread.

I always slap a Cobra logo on whatever vehicle I drive, but I haven't gone all out with it. I have a few other items I want to show everyone, but I gotta wait, hehe.

If I could win the lottery I'd probably build, or have one built, a full scale HISS. It doesn't have to run or anything, just look like it without obviously being cut out of sheets of metal and plywood. I'd want it built as if it were a real one being built. I think that would be cool, hehe. If you had expirence behind you to help do some of the build and keep cost down enough, a person could make their money back having it appear in parades and possibly convention apperances.

I had a '69 WV beetle, and at one time I had pretty realistic plans on painting it yellow, adding a huge red autobot symbol on the top.

I once tried to kidnap with eastern european girl to turn her into the baroness. I found out you shouldn't paint someone with lead based paint.

I have no pix, but about a year ago I was walking out of a Borders and I saw a Japanese dude looking perplexed. I looked to see what he was staring at and it was a sweet looking black jeep with Decepticon logos in all the right spots.

Do costumes count?

Ive got a couple of mannequins in Darth Vader, Anakin Skywalker and Indiana Jones outfits in my home theatres. All as authentic as can be, but the cost is phohibitive. Vader ran about $800, Indy about $1000 and Annie about $350. I'd still like to do a Stormtrooper and Jango Fett at some point.

I've also considered doing Baroness and Destro 1:1 custom, with a mannequin as the base. Wouldn't be incredibley hard to do, just expensive and time consuming to figure the pieces out.



I also started a Back To The Future Delorean project, but its on hold until the car is restored first:

I held onto that black 1986 Suzuki Samurai rag top for almost 8 years without driving it cause I was determined to do that Stinger Jeep custom, but I finally sold it last year. I still regret it. I think it would have been easy and awesome. I just never found the time to work on it.

On another Joe board, there was a guy looking to turn a Jeep CJ-8 into a Vamp. Several years ago I tried the same thing and founf the CJ-8 to have a pretty accurate wheel base/stance. The gun deck would have lifted so we could still use the cargo area
