Hey, Im new here, and was wondering if its possible to request a replica of a truck. Any help would be awesome.

Unfortunately, I only have a few pics of the truck, and it isnt identical in all the pics.

The truck is called 'Sheer Insanity', owned by Ged Barcroft.

Ok thanks. I clicked the link, and I noticed it said you need paint shop pro. I dont have that, and dont really want to download another big program on my computer, but I have Adobe Photoshop. Will that work instead?

The psp4 demo is a small program.

Photoshop will work fine too.

Hey lou22, that beast looks awfully familiar...

Wild Thing replica

Okay, pics two and three that you've posted are a different truck entirely, but for the first pic they're definitely one and the same. I'd guess that Ged initially bought the old Wild Thing truck and renamed it; those other pics would be an entirely new truck carrying the Sheer Insanity name.

Doing the newer one would be far too difficult especially with so little reference material... but if you can follow the repaint tutorial that's been given above, you should easily be able to repaint my replica of Wild Thing to make a perfect likeness of that older version of Sheer Insanity (of course I give you full permission to do this). Should be a good exercise to start with :)


>> Unfortunately, I only have a few pics of the truck

I Googled up the name and got a whole bunch of hits, picture-wise I only seemed to find the older version of the truck though...

Looks like a home page
Has multiple pics / and a few more / videos
Search engine results...



BTW Phin, I hope I'm not treading on any toes when I say that the MTM2.COM truckpages really need a better pic of this truck...

Wow, thanks for all the pics. Yes I did realize the those pics are of a different truck, but the owner and name are the same, and the paint scheme is for the most part the same.

Your guess about the Sheer Insanity truck being the same as the Wild Thing truck is probably true, as the Sheer Insanity truck is based out of Alberta, and the Wild Thing truck was originally based somewhere out of western Canada.
