I do agree with you there I'm waiting on old mate on fleabay to return from holidays so I can get a sticker made and want to paint the victa white a bit of pinstipping would look the part might see what I can come up with .

Awesome maybe something like cobra strips right through the middle.

Now that's an idea might mask it up a little later and see what it looks like may paint the tank red then other wise might look a little weird with a white one

Had a bit of a play around thoughts ?

Mate that's just awesome it broke the red just nice.I'd run those stripes over the base as well.I reckon it would just make it pop. You've even got me thinking about doing something like that now.I might do something though with a VC-160 or VC-Mustang.Awesome work keep up the good work.

The cowl looks like a giant lolly ( looks good though) and Bumbly I think racing stripes wouldn't work on a hi arch mower, maybe on a steel decked model. You might be able to pull it off if done carefully, who knows. You could try Photoshop first.

I was planning on the base too was just playing with ideas on the cowl it's fairly rough job so will sand it respray and add the same to the base at the same time.

I've seen a high arch with stripes looked pretty good was a green base with white and red stripe

The only thing is Mowerfreak I don't actually have a spare one yet,but I do have a vision in my head,and I think it would work.I mean,sorry I do have a spare VC-Mustang but I think a VC-160 would work better.I'll have a think on that but it has inspired me.

Why not paint a VC160 mkIII base in red along with the badge surround like that one you saw in my old line up shot? It looked awesome. Wish I hadn't sold mine.

Have you got a picture I can't remember it?

I got the cowl RE base coated today so should be able to lay out the stripes tomorrow also made up some stencils plan on running some custom decals down both sides for something a little different

Two attempts at the paint today second go is the winner I think.








Last few images are how it looks now

Now it needs a set of mags.

OH awesome work there,although I did like the cowl with the strips in the middle.Maybe it just needs the Victa part on the base highlighted but I do like it so far good work.No no no very good work love it.Maybe some bling wheels it needs something special now,as Mowerfreak said.

Thanks blumbly its getting there slowly .Might have to readd those stripes yet once the tank goes on to break it up a bit. And yes keeping my eyes open for some fat rims .
