[cphilip]

Did I even spell that right? Or even get this right? I mean chose your design tanks? What is this all about? Some real good..umm (cough)...imagination used here though. Got this in a junk email today

be cool if they could do something like a pic of your gun on the tank or like a AO design, but those cartoons look kinda lame, they look like there out of a japenese cartoon..

[behemoth]

not bad!...

i always knew you had a good taste in women phil!

Wow. here's a thought... how about I just make my own sticker with some good artwork on it instead....? Interesting, but I'd be more likely to put a tank cover on it, which would defeat the whole purpose. Someone should let paintballers create their own custom covers, I'd love to do some of my own artwork for one.

Well this makes me wonder how appropriate it is to attach these things to a tank? Does it compromise the tank integrety which allows nothing to be attached or altered by the manufacturer of the tank? I know it looks like maybe its a shrink wrap and would not do anything harmfull but the rule is very specific on stickers and such. But this does indeed change the tank and I see it would be a violation of what the rules state? So is this going to be a good idea and are people going to fill these tanks? Or refuse to fill them, that is?

No..its actually part of the tank, like in the fibers. WGP does this, and you can have them put whatever image you want directly imbedded into the tank. Hope this answers some questions.

itd probably cause as much damage as them putting the nitro date under the fiber

nice tanks though!!!

PS, they really need a different artist though, u can see its americanized anime :P

[FooTemps]

Well we old guys need us a line of Vargus Girls tanks! Not sure I spelled his name right though. Now that was a artist that could paint a woman. Most of you kids prolly never seen any of his work. reditions of his stuff were copied onto Bombers in WWII. Go do a search for some of his stuff and you will see. That guy was the king in the early 40's and 50's of this kind of art. Back in my Dads days. Still stunning even today.

Ok it was Vargas. Alberto Vargas. Now you kids do not think the Japanese invented what you now call Anime or realy is realistic pin up girl style art do you? I mean this is the real thing. Take a look...Ask your grandfather about this guy. He may smack you up side the head but he will smile when he does it! And do not say nuttin to Gramma about it!

This is not smut it is history my young friends!

Some Vargas Prints here

I'm a fan of vintage art like that, WWII-era stuff. That style is totally unique.

edit: and CPhil, I can't believe you are claiming the Japanese didn't come up with Japanese animation, I mean, omg. Obviously they didn't come up with cartoon renderings of chicks/pin-up girls, or even animation itself, but anime is a specific style, an Asian style.

It is! And its now highly collectable if you can find some of it from your Grandparents do keep it. Old calenders and such. And numbered prints even. It was not often displayed out in those days. It might have been on Mens club walls and in Garages ands such. So most of it was lost realy.
