Where did the Afghans get that 60s wallpaper to cover their APC? Love it! All our schoolbooks looked like that when I was a kid, as the teachers made us cover them to keep them nice (so they could give them to next year's kids), and we all used paper like that!

Also, our hymn books looked like that, but that was a design actually printed on the cover!

Crazy.

 :lol: Ah. Brings me back to. The wall paper in out sauna shower stall looked something similar. My math book had a pattern of large brown daisies on a pink background. I suspect it was clad that way so you would never have an excuse for "not finding it". Its garishness was like a beacon.

I realy like the effect on the cars windows, gives them a real "in use" touch.

Nice work - love the truck! Nothing says insurgency like a Toyota! :)

One can almost smell the Afghan Opium when looking at that camo scheme  :wink:
