A very happy Thanksgiving eve to all of my arrma fam!! As some of you may or may not know, I built a typhon for my best friend on a tight budget a little while back to try to get him involved in the hobby. With my budget spent on essential parts I didn't have any $$ left for a body...so I improvised & made one out of an empty Budweiser 18 pack w/ nothing more than Gorilla tape, scissors & my imagination. The Budweiser Buggy was born & it seemed to go over pretty well, considering. Well, @ least I hope it got a lot of laughs!! Afterwards, @Tex Koder & I bounced a few ideas back & forth for a Kraton6s version. It kinda seemed like a process we could duplicate for others trying to do the same. He worked on his vision & I worked on mine separately. He was able to produce a version for a Kraton6s earlier this week & I think it's outstanding!!! My vision & execution was a little different. His is a little more Frank Lloyd Wright- very precise & technically brilliant. Mine is more like Frank Gehry- little curvier, looks like it's more "thrown together". I got done w/ the basic shape a few days ago & put the finishing touches on last night. So, I give you all...the Budweiser Black Sheep (ya know, it's my only non-typhon!)
