I think you should go with a western town and do a Wild Wild West theme (from the tv show).

Some low angle shots just off the ground would make the buildings look much bigger. Pan back and forth between the town and the battle truck, but never have them in the frame together. You could even do different angles to make the town look much larger than the truck. And play the standoff music from "the good, the bad and the ugly"

I like "pimpin linc" but would it be a brothel or a men's fashion store...???

I think you should make one of the stores "RC Monster" and have that as the only building left standing...

lol man thats awesome, I cant wait to see this... bet your boss wonders why those houses are done and your other 4 job sites arent. Totally kidding !!

Hey guys thanks for the great suggestions.. I was thinking about leaving one house standing (RC-Monster) last night (late last night after a bottle or two) LOL.LOL (great minds do think a like) set in a western theme with (good, bad & ugly music) using different camera angles… I can totally visualize it (looking GOOD) BUT I cant paint old western style stuff.. I'm trying to find pictures of ghost towns, but nothing to promising at this point.. so if you have them shoot them over.. I went out and got some of the “flat” American accents paint (gay “summer squash, Mango, Fossil & seaside green” paint) I bleep you not.





So I was thinking of painting everything in “gay tones” colors, buying some Barbie and Ken dolls, some plastic Porsche’s, vet’s, white picket fences, etc. then (still with me) turning the neighborhood into a gay a lesbian comity with a front welcome sing that reads “WELCOME TO PROP 8 Town”

TOO MUCH ?????? to controversial ????

You can't shoot up the Monster home though.

[TexasSP]

Maybe have the rc-monster house fire back at you, that would be entertaining. The townsfolk have to stand up for themselves right?

Battle truck V. village of the gay.



good idea but on youtube you might get some negative discussion

Well my rendition of a old western town is done “it’s my first time even trying anything like this so give me a brake / cut me some slack”

I even tried to Foe paint the buildings, shoot I’ve got a total of 6 coats on the buildings (including the primmer)… So just need to make up the town sign (so I can run it over) “of course” and I’ll be good to go…








Anyway I'm looking forward to destroying these suckers and then “finally being able to complete the Video”

Witch will contain a clip of everything working..


OOOOooHHHHHHhhhh
And I picked this up today for $12.95 LOL it a fog dispenser (this should come in handy) LOL.LOL.LOL….







Anyway..
Thanks for your time everyone and have a great day / weekend

Shaun.

P.S.
The video is CLOSE!.. AND yes, it might just change the way you look at RC builds moving forward..

P.S.S.
FYI (if you care)
The town is just under 10’ long and the average height of the buildings is 21” tall with a depth of 12”.. or just under $500.00 for balsa wood, paint, tape, effects, etc.

Hey Guys,
Well it took all fricken day but I finally got all of the signs up for the town.

I also completed the front city marker sign but NEED A NAME FOR THE TOWN ????? AND what do I do with the big white building ??? make it a cemetery with grave stones ??, Turn it into the City hall ??, use it as the dug lords home ??? Again, any suggestions are extremely helpful Preferably “something BIG!” I would like to jump on it off a 4-5 drop off, (I can see it now, guns firing, smoke, smoking, the sound of the whole house / building coming down while the truck is ripping it apart (Aahhhhrrrrr, Ahhhhrrrr) LOL.LOL.. Sorry about that..

Thanks for your time everyone and have a great week..

Shaun.
