Managed to finish it just in time, this is my entry for the hot shot contest.

Although i do like the jolly look of a brightly colored VLB i wanted something else for mine.

After priming, I first sprayed a couple coats of Dupli color black. I then free-handed the flames in with my airbrush.

After doing that i drew the VLB 'mural' on, as you can see i used the original one as a template, just changed some details. I used a marker to draw it on the shell. Then handpainted it. The same goes for the drawing on the back.

After that was done i did some touch ups on the flames and the drawings again with the airbrush, added the mist for instance.

Once that was done i added a selfmade dutch look a like license plate and after that it was just a matter of clearcoating it.

There are still some things to be done, some mods. The third shock, the springs will be replaced by some shocks. Am gonna make my own wheelie bar and there is gonne be another motor on it (19t)

The tires are Imex 2.8 skull and bones by the way. And i have not decided yet to go for chrome bumpers or black. Have both so i can change depending in my mood i guess.

That looks awesome. Remember 'He-Man'?! If Skeletor had a Lunchbox, this is what it would look like.

The meanest looking Lunchbox ever. Photos probably don't do it justice. Excellent with the skull tyres!
