NASCAR Style Abrams

Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, September 10, 2003 6:46 AM

For those that are looking for something different to do to an armor model...I've linked to two pics of a model I did for a friend of mine. It's an M1A1in gloss red with chromed out roadwheels, flames, and sponsor stickers.

Bare with me on the Pics as I'm still working on my photo skills.

Is there an easier way to share Pics in this forum?

red4, I really like the chrome dubs on that M-1 !!! Big Smile [:D]

I guess that would be called NASTANK huh?? Big Smile [:D]

When I was in Kuwait last year we rode by the "Kuwait Camel Racing Club" and decided they must have a "NASCAMEL" channel over there during the season. Wink [;)]

What! No fuzzy dice or fox tail. What self respecting Hotdogger would be seen without one of these mandatory accesories? Big Smile [:D]

I can't but ask what would "M1AbramsRules" say :

A tank is the king of the battlefield
An M1 Abrams is THE EMPEROR......

But this one is the empress Kisses [:X]

LOL. Nice one anyway - I like it.

You know, putting sponsors' names and decals on the sides (and elsewhere) of military equipment may be one way to help pay for the War in Iraq! Now, if we could only figure out how to make all that equipment do constant left turns.....

i can't use the link. Disapprove [V]

.. but i do remember some NASTANK models in FSM awhile back, and i still get a good giggle out of the idea !
Gip: constant left turns should be pretty easy with a tracked vehicle; the turn radius might be a problem, though... Smile [:)]

I can't see the links either. I have seen a Tiger I painted as an F1 car in Ferrari red, I'd like to see yours as well.

Ditto bad links for me. I remember the readers gallery some time ago with 3 tanks painted as three beer labels used in Nascar. Pretty cool.
