    Modern Hydroplane Themes Ideas

    Looking for ideas on themes for my mini hydro.
    I will either do paint & decals or a complete wrap.

    I like these:
    Frosted Flakes
    Spirit of Detroit

    Looking for others as & have not been able to find to many I like.
    Looking for something that will stand out & be a bit different!

    Please post pictures if you have some.
    I am trying to stay clear of the typical Oberto, Miss Budweiser, Circus Circus...

              If I ever do a modern hydro this will be it!
              Miss Dewalt
              Sorry no idea how to insert the actual image.
              If my boats upside down then who owns the one I thought I was driving the last two laps?

                  They did a nice job on the boat wrap.

                  It's a cool looking theme but I like more colorful ones.
                  This one to me is a bit busy.

                  Not sure if some of you know or not but I do my own graphics & decals so I can work up just about any theme.

                      One thing to consider is trademark copyrights. Seeing that these are for sale you need to be very careful. Last year Dewalt filed lawsuits against some folks selling Dewalt decals for scale RC use, that were not authorized. The amount of the suits were unreal. But Dewalt won the case. Just a thought to consider.

                        I have heard of these situations happening.
                        It's sad that a large company like Dewalt would take legal action against a company for making small decals for rc & hobby use when IMO it doesn't do anything but advertise for them. I can understand if someone had a line of decals they sold on a regular basis.

                          I recently did heinekin light on my tunnel. You really can just pick anything you like. Doesn't have to be scale really

                            I agree any theme looks cool I'd just like to do something scale with this one.
                            So looking for more ideas....
