Red Ball - need help!

[Jeff Ross]

Anyone have any photos of this boat they can post?

I'm trying to help out a fellow club member with these graphics and photos are very limited at best.

I would like to make it as scale as possible but don't really have any good photos to go off.

Any help greatly appreciated!!

Hey Jeff,

Kind of vague. Mate. Are you talking about the Red Ball Express? See the Newton Smumug site. CHEERS !!! Bob

 

[Jeff Ross]

Yep you got it.

Ill take a look anyone else know where to find more?

Jeff,

Here is another angle:

 

[Jeff Ross]

Really need one of the deck to see the 8 ball.

I looked on newton smugmug but couldn't find any photos?

 

[Darin Jordan]

Jeff,

Maybe some of these would help??

 

[Darin Jordan]

Here are some others... It's hard to make out exactly which version of that "ball" they used...

I THINK that they used the attached "old_logo.jpg" and that made up the entire white dot inside of the Red Ball... But it's hard to make out.

 

[Jeff Ross]

Darin awesome thanks I don't know why I couldn't find any last night I googles it but didn't find these!

 

[Darin Jordan]

I searched extensively this morning using "Mallory Red Ball" + Mover, and also "American Red Ball" + Mover.

Not a lot out there as far as Vintage pics go, but I do believe that the Big Red Ball consisted of the, well, BIG red ball, with that logo ball inside it, like on those moving truck and that picture of the lighter...

 

[Jeff Ross]

Yep thats what it looks like to me!

Appreciate the help Darin its for Brad Lewis.

No problem...

and I figured it was either him or Brian!

 

[Jeff Ross]

Brian had originally wanted it but looks like Brad beat him to it.

Should be a neat boat and 1 of a kind when done!

Talk to you later and hope to maybe race with you this year sometime!

Is Brad doing a 1/10th or 1/8th??

I have a 1/8th Scale of this hull I need to build... Maybe I should order a set of these graphics for that!

 

[Jeff Ross]

He is doing 1/10 scale from John's drop sponson molds.

If you need 1/8 let me know dimensions and I can scale things up for you!

It'll be a bit before I get to this one, but you know you'd be the first on my list for getting graphics!

Post pics when you get these done! Would love to see what you come up with.
