It's da bomb ! (Page 1/1)
MidEngineManiac JUN 07, 08:25 PM
Got a new little one-weekend project starting...

I am turning an old well pressure-tank into a trailer for Kim's scoot. Me being me , and it being the perfect starting point, I am doing it to roughly resemble the "Little Boy" bomb. then just mount it on a yard-cart wagon to resemble a bomb cart.

BUT, I need to come up with some sort of paint/decal scheme thats far enough away from realistic that none of us are gonna get locked up for going through town towing an atom bomb , but still looks fun (nope, not doing "Operation Petticoat" on it. )

I thought of the shark mouth scheme (meh, everybody does it) or punisher or military jeep star or something, but nothing I can think of so far really clicks as "cool but not arrested cool"

Anybody got any ideas to toss out ?

<edit>

Center one is the pic I am working off of.
