A Different Vega Body
 
Dont get me wrong.. im no fan of forward cab shells, but this i reeeally like this, As I'm aware this is the first one that's been painted up, let me know what you think.
Bring back the frog!

like the paint job:thumbsup: but as for the shell :p

Adam F 06-08-2011 02:22 PM

That is truly horrid...

It looks like a vega crossed with a submarine...

sfry61 06-08-2011 02:58 PM

I think i'm going to be sick :cry:

West Ridge Racing 06-08-2011 03:07 PM

The paint job is awsome but the cab f***s up the whole thing...pardon My french.

rc_penguin 06-08-2011 03:25 PM

Must say im a bit shocked lol!, This is the only forward cab that I do like! :eh?: I might add as well that this was around before the current body

Minster68 06-08-2011 03:42 PM

Excellent spray job by your Dad... Still not sure on body style. :p

Gies 06-08-2011 05:17 PM

This is one of the ugliest bodies i have ever seen.
But, strangely enough......I WANT ONE!
Nice rearspoiler!

discothesnake 06-08-2011 05:24 PM

shell
 
Probably the most disgusting shell i have ever seen. And i owned a Vega!! :bored::bored::bored::bored:

johnboy 06-08-2011 05:50 PM

WTF The worst shell ever. It looks like a duck :wtf:

rc_penguin 06-08-2011 05:57 PM

Okay people lol, i get the idea, no one at all likes it! :blush: It is only a one off, and I think it looks great!

Jamie.T 06-08-2011 06:10 PM

It looks about as good as Susan boyle

Nice to be uniqe on the track then mate:)

cab forward vega
 
Well I love it. I think the vega survives extremely well with very unusual shells as the stock one is a very unconventional shape. Personally I'd run this just to have a really different look. Make me one and ill rock it :)

discostu 06-08-2011 09:37 PM

hey will

the body looks cool.

MHeadling 06-08-2011 09:46 PM

Nice one Will!!

I thought that mould was well out of action, nice to see your rockin the Frog!

I may have to get one and paint it kermet green!

chuckie stella 06-08-2011 09:49 PM

I loved the frog that Kev and spenner first ran. Looked good in Mr Lee's colours!!:thumbsup:

rc_penguin 06-08-2011 10:01 PM

The frog is brill! I'm unsure of the condition of the mould for it though Mark this was just one that was around the workshop!, I also never saw Mr.Lee's! This isn't the first painted one then :) anyway that's forward cab, any thoughts on this as a standard cab body? (I didnt make this mould! Posted on behalf of a friend :))

t8rtot 06-08-2011 10:20 PM

I think if the cab forward body was a little more flowing and less boxy upfront it would be outstanding..

SimonW 06-08-2011 10:22 PM

Looks much better. I'll have 2 please.

Rebelrc 07-08-2011 07:59 AM

Lush!!!:thumbsup:

rc_penguin 07-08-2011 08:13 PM

Not many thoughts on the standard cab I've posted then? (Bottom of page 1) As for my shell, seems a very very strong case of marmite :lol:

peetbee 07-08-2011 08:22 PM

If you mean of the mould, then that looks much better :lol:

rc_penguin 07-08-2011 08:25 PM

Yup the mould :)

West Ridge Racing 07-08-2011 08:31 PM

Love the mould one much better:thumbsup:

MHeadling 07-08-2011 08:35 PM

Yes Will, get that new mould up and running , looks ace I think

Maybe some more vents perhaps or shark gills!

AndyG 07-08-2011 08:43 PM

sorry Mr Penguin, but it looks a little too much like this :

That name descripes better those FTW bodies :p:p:p

Mr Eccleston 08-08-2011 10:21 AM

+1 for the mould, the standard cab body is a lot better then the original "only a mother could love".

le_sam 26-08-2011 12:27 AM

the second is too straight!! boring...
i want the first one if you make somes!
"le freak c'est chic" :p

VinceB 26-08-2011 11:43 AM

Like the mold, very much like the present shell but smoother

Marmite shell
 
Well, seeing as the guys are not going to produce the 'marmite' shell (which I love :blush:) might have to stay original.....although I do like the smoother version I dont think it beats the original :thumbsup:

i love the first too! ;)
not possible to have 2 or 3 bodies?!
we've just finished our original chassis, we want originals bodies too! :woot:
(our team's name is "freak team", realy! :D)

GRIFF55 31-08-2011 04:29 PM

I like both, especially the first! Nice paint job sets it off too:thumbsup:
What do you make the moulds out of?

The Chef 31-08-2011 06:36 PM

I like the first one. i'd buy it.:thumbsup:

rc_penguin 31-08-2011 10:21 PM

Hi All, sorry this had been put to side for a little while! Seems "The Frog" has reeeeeally mixed opinions still lol :)
Besides I got my hands on the mold shown on the last page earlier tonight :thumbsup: Hopefully will get it on the vacuum tomorrow and get it painted ............ Hopefully lol :blush:

The Chef 31-08-2011 10:30 PM

Is the frog available to purchase? Or will it be?

rc_penguin 31-08-2011 10:40 PM

Its not for me to say I'm afraid. If there's enough of a demand its certainly more likely. The mould for The Frog was only temporary aswell. The quality of my shell although it's still good doesn't compare to the quality of the standard body
