We have been thinking about something like this. Probably in a pencil art, so it looks like etched glass.

Top Dogs...

Hi Guys...
O K, U did it agn, we all kn abt the Memphis Belle...but can U explain 2 me how U guys get/got away with it, after all it IS/WAS defacing the property of the UNITED STATES, over here we would b court-marshaled 4 that sort of thing, U Femine Yr planes, U slogan Yr missiles an U put mouth full of TEETH on yr war planes...Quite frankly Chaps I think it is....GREAT... , HOW COME U don't get busted 4it, ?????...
I've even seen Yr chicken coupes !!!...lit up with more lights than a Vegas strip joint...
Maybe "only in America". Told Ya I lived in the WRONG place...What's the deal then, with the PAINT-JOBS.
As 4 the Airstreams...well I guess its a personal thing, ( my car has Disney decals on the windows, an Mickey hangin off the mirror )...sure gets eyeballed...an U would NOT belive the stick I get at work 'cos of it...I jus tell 'em it's the WIFES car... .
Well hope U enjoy Yr new found craze...Chris.....

Well, for the other-side-of-the-pond perhaps some roundels and squadron insignia?

Thumbs up Trend setting!

I like your ideas! Very cool. Here's a photo of one person who was recently at the RM VAC rally who had the cover of their water heater painted while they were in Mexico. The street urchins do it with spray paint to earn money.

Smarty-Arty...

Goooooooood Morning Airstreamers.
Greetings 2 U all from over the POND, on this wonderful sunny morning... .
Hope everyone is O K ...
Well personaly I love the art-graffiti, decor or call it what U like, 2me it's ART, and MOST of it is tastefuly done, an some of it is jus plain vandalism...
I like the cartoon pics, easily 2 reconise, an a hit with the kiddies, I think that when one c's an Airstream, the first impact is " WOW ", then as the eyeball's kick in 2 scan the unit the mind jus boggles, an the pics make it a special feature in one's mind, to c a 30 footer is good...but did U c the one with the American Flag all the way down the side, well that's the one that would stand out in anyone's mind...
Ok I think U get the picture, I love 'em...LOL .
People have bn doin this kind of thing for years, an is accepted I guess, as being different, 2 say the least, BUT to do it 2 an AIRSTREAM...a great Americon Icon...well I guess it's a personal thing, weather other folk will like it, well that's up 2 them, I do...having said my 10p worth, CARRY ON...
All B-GOOD 2day, stay safe...Chris...

Chris, I don't thing many of us would actually "do it 2 an AIRSTREAM"! As far as nose art is concerned, I know I am just living vicariously through this thread!

I sensed an all TOO hearty laugh here!

So, the question of the hour is: Does your wife get into the car?

Talking

Well, I bought our Excursion with this airbrush art already on it. She (my wife) gave me 30 days to get rid of it...

It's been over 60 nobody remind her please...

Loved the underwater on the panel door. Another excuse to go back to Mexico!

cheers

Re my nose job...

Silver City...
Thank's 4 that, jolly good old chap, stiff upper lip and all that tea drinking...U realy done it this time...do U kn how much I love SANTA....lmao...gonna b a bad year for the rest of his reindeer crew....DONNA went missing...and I think I overheard one of santas helpers saying he was a bit partial to a KEBAB...
Sayin that, as I've got dislexic fingers...I most likely been loving SATAN all these darn years...that's why I never got what I wanted 4 christmas...SIGH..!!...still there's always this year....
Hi Yukionna..Hee Hee do'nt tell the DRAGON...'er sorry DARLING WIFE....( C what I mean abt my DISLEXIC FINGER...), I fitted a secret switch...so it still works an looks cool at night, trouble is...I pulled up b-hind a BLACK van...and it shone up ORANGE....so a quick COUGH..killed the noise as I threw the switch off....U kn some Guys r born with that GUILTY look abt 'em...guess I was standin in the same line twice...or as my Wife says... God must have had a sence of humor...he made U Chris...an I thought he said BED...so I waited in line an asked for a SOFT one...turns out he said H E A D .....guess I kn how a pumpkin feels...
Anyhow, abt these NOSE-JOBS...it's a personal thing, an anyone who does do, WELL DONE...b different, stand out from the norm, b laughed at...as long as U like it who cares,
My Mom bought a new 3 piece suite...kept askin if we liked it, I say 2 her, hey if I say NO, I can always SIT on the floor, as long as U like it...that's what is important, other wise she would NOT have bought it in the first place...Guess my finger has learnd 2 roller skate...Catch Ya later...remember...Never laugh AT the drunken people...Laugh WITH them...Chris..... .....
