I'm conflicted..

Trying to decide between (color) themes for this rig..
Should I make it-

Red/Gold/Black as in a Phoenix (A New rig raising from the ashes..)

Or
Keep it Dumpster ,as in-
Oscar

OliveGreen/Black ?

Phoenix Rising for sure!! Considering all the efforts put forth..
Don't get me wrong, I love Oscar, but that would be more appropriate if you only gave it a once over IMO.

 

[King blitz]

Well there you have it..first one wins..if you could air brush that phoenixs head on the hood with the wings overlapping the sides that would be awesome or even a decal.im sure you can print one out from vinyl

Me? Mine? Would be Oscar for sure, LOL. Honestly though, with the care, patience, and details Tex has gone to.. Phoenix Rising just seems more fitting..either way, it's a great cause!! Cheers Tex

Olive Green and black

Why not orange? Oscar the grouch was originally orange before going green

Is that true?
I've only ever known him as dirty green...

I Never knew..!!

 

[KnowAir]

Well Tex, you got a decision to make..
There's no wrong color to paint a dumpster I suppose?

 

[Jchammbone]

Humph.... why I love this forum.. learn something everyday!!!

Keep up the good work!!!

 

[Tex Koder]

Thank you everyone for your input.

I think I'll do Both!

Beginning with the Oscar Dumpster theme -to give proper representation of its origins..
And to give it the -Bash it like I Stole it- shake down!

Then as I replace the old bits (or eventual busted up) stock parts...
I will transition to the Firey Phoenix theme..

 

[ObeyTheNoodle]

I think you need to paint a Phoenix rising from a dumpster. That's the real journey that this rig has had.

 

[Tex Koder]

Got the Dumpster Fire FINALLY put together this weekend & Out into the wild...!

This is actually the second maiden flight ,but this time my youngest is giving it a Proper shake down..

Looks like an angry hornet rolling around in the grass..


Guess I need to post a video too..
Need to work on getting a YouTube channel going now ,I suppose....
