Bubba gits a new RV...

[shaygetz]

With the start of training camp for the NFL, Bubba felt it necessary that he get in on the tailgating action found outside stadiums in the fall. He started with a Matchbox 50 States Series Wyoming Winnabego. Stripping the paint off with several hundred gallons of Pine-Sol, he pondered his next moves...

And the front...

Being a rivet counting nitpicker, Bubba had one of two prototype fotos to choose from...

...or this one.

Deciding to try freelancing, he removed the cast on ladder and replaced it with one cut from ladder stock.

He also filed off all parting lines and sanded all the imperfections down in prepping for the paint shop.

Bubba did pause to consider the possibilties in this RV, Brian.

 

[shaygetz]

Liking what he saw on Nawthern "Snowbird's" RVs, Bubba mounted stainless rims on his, carefully modifying the frame to fit. The fronts came from a 1/64 Johnny Lightning vehicle, the rear from a Racing Champions 1/87 truck model.

 

[shaygetz]

The interior had to be modified as well to accomodate the rear wheels.

His hands not being as steady as they used to be, Bubba painted a subtle but sharp striped scheme on his new rig. Coming home late his first time out, he finds his faithful wife had set it up, got the burgers on AND was waiting for him at the door with a frosty one in her hand. Ain't life grand...

Combine that with a little trailer for the go-kart, and he's all set for weekend fun!
