Nice job so far. For a color, might I suggest the official color of the University of Texas, "burnt orange" ?

Dallas Cowboys silver/blue
Dallas Stars green/black
Or a bit more controversial perhaps; confederate grey

hi, thanks for the suggestions 🙂 i had already painted the body in Pearl Light Red. I thought of building this with a female truck driver, i already purchased a 1:24 Marshall Jessie (i will modify Jessie a little bit) to use with this truck 😉 just waiting for the delivery. I wanted to use a gun rack with a rifle just above the bed along with a flag, does anyone know where to get a 1:25 or 1:24 rifle?

Gary Brantley i liked that burnt orange and i will use it on a 1:25 2010 Shelby GT500 as it seems more appropriate 😉 sports cars always go along perfectly with university students i think i will even make custom decals with the logo on the door or maybe on the rooftop at each side of the white racing stripes and a logo of the Uni sports team on the door. What do you think of this idea? By any chance did you study at the University of Texas?

Martin Oostrom i like the confederate grey but to make it work i think i have the perfect model to use that colour, the 1:24 italeri Wrecker Truck which i can customise the decals and create a kind of confederate memorabilia. For this project i am open to suggestions on which kind of decals to use and where to place them

That's a great idea Afonso. I'm looking forward to seeing that one! Yes, I did "study" at the University of Texas, but not enough apparently as they asked me to leave when my grade point average dropped to 0.8. Twenty-two years later, I graduated from UT's great rival Texas A&M University ("the Aggies"😢 with a GPA of 3.915. The difference between a kid and a man I guess. 🙂

So true what you say.... I think almost all youngsters are mentally clogged at that age (me included) but we end up finding our paths
I found guns in australia lol a set of 4 1:24 metal with 1 AR-15 1 colt .45 and 2 what i think are mossberg 500 pump action so all extras bought.
