These cheap lunchboxes are preprinted with graphics. "thumbsup"

Thats Awesome!!! i actually had the same idea last week when i found this OG Ninja Turtles TV tray at the local Goodwill... but when i got home, i couldn't bring myself to cut it up... its too retro to destroy...( 1988 )...

Sweet work!
 
How did you go about forming it though? That would be my concern, not butchering it on the first go round.

I used to have that meal tray, i ate a lot of meals on it in front of the ole boob tube when i was a kid, this brings back memories.

Really nice job on the lunchbox skins, its a great idea. At first i thought it was going to be a Tamiya Lunchbox body with a custom spoderman paintjob, but this is probably better.

slickwillie 11-30-2011 11:17 AM

That is really cool"thumbsup". Again, really nice job forming the hood.

R/CMARK 11-30-2011 12:06 PM

You did a fantastic job forming that hood pannel! Hopefully nobody cuts up a valuable lunch box:mrgreen:

muddywaters 11-30-2011 12:31 PM

That looks awesome....."thumbsup""thumbsup"

Pau Hana 11-30-2011 12:36 PM

Wow thats pretty clever!! Cool idea i got a Super Mario Bros lunch bx like that sumwhere. Let the hunt begin!!

C*H*U*D 11-30-2011 12:57 PM

Way to think outside the "lunchbox".










sorry....someone had to do it :ror:

Rig Rocker 11-30-2011 01:09 PM

Very nice job "thumbsup" Only way it could be cooler is if the spidey string was at front of hood, and servo winch cable came out of his hand :)

transambill 11-30-2011 03:00 PM

Looks great, now hide that antenna.
Sorry, I just hate seeing a big ole antenna sticking out of scale type rig.

Thanks for the comments."thumbsup"

i just kinda freestyle'd it. i cut it out quite a bit wider than needed. Started forming with my hobby scarred fingers, then used a 3/8" delrin rod to kind of roll it into shape. All the while, cutting where needed to help the bends with a Wiss snip (i knew the front corners wouldn't form clean, so just cut 'em).

The nose came out a little long and tight on the bumper mount, but i'll tweak it some.

madtinner 11-30-2011 06:42 PM

very nice idea, to bad i just ordered a dynamic concepts body.

Stormin2u 11-30-2011 06:52 PM

Spidey is very cool, although it probably would give a serious collector bad dreams.

joelKID984 11-30-2011 09:29 PM

thats pretty damn creative there mate. good work

team3six 11-30-2011 09:31 PM

Now that is a cool idea."thumbsup"
