The Ripper is a pretty good looking truck. It is
not quite a Jeep, though it is clearly supposed to resemble one.
At first glance, you wouldn't actually perceive all the metal
underneath. In hindsight, I'm not sure I should have gone with
black body panels. I love the blue cage but the black panels hide
almost all of it and this makes the final model a bit plain. The
blue wheels do a bit to bring the color back out. I had to
photograph it with the lights off because they are so bright that they
ruin the exposure.
