Camel Trophy - Tribute or Pretender?

Hi Guys....

Having had mixed response to my Jurassic Park D1 Build
I thought id stir it up again.....

Waddya think?

Still bits to do but you get the idea....

Probably not what you want to hear, but to my eye it looks crap and just wrong!

If I were doing a replica I'd choose a particular Camel trophy year and a particular team car and use that as the basis, not someone's idea of what a Camel should be. Too many people using the colour and 'similar' but wrong decals just dilute the appeal for me, I mean, Terrafirma?

Ahh... Indeed - Basicly it was never going to be a replica - im using it for RTV trials
and just wanted a bit of fun - Like my jurassic park one....
And yeah, i know, - Terrafirma - i may well take that one off!!! -

It probably wouldn't be too hard to do an accurate replica - but i didn't want to put that much money into something that has a limited lifetime

It's ok. As in, it causes me no harm. And anyone who kicks up, is, well just being a tit I guess. Certainly likely to standout and make a statement, as well as be noticed.

That said, it's not exactly my cup of tea. As in, I wouldn't do the same, and I'd be unlikely to want to pull the camera out and grab a photo of it. Maybe on some bigger tyres, nicer rims and less stickers I would though.

But I certainly don't hate on it and it causes me no offence.

BTW - what is Jurassic Park about it???

Each to thier own I personally don't like one life live it stickers but it looks OK to me.

I allways find the one life live it stickers a bit cringe worthy to be honest -
It was the mission statement of the camel trophy -
Mongolia 97 wold have looked a bit naff on a 98 D1...

The Jurassic Park truck was its predecessor...

Cant seem to add pics!!
