door art

[Ue413]

I've got an M923 with a scorpion stenciled on fuel tank and passenger side tool box door.....probably about 1 foot long by 9 inches wide....I will add a photo later, but any idea what it designates?

When I worked at the forest service, we had a M548 variant that was desert tan and from the gulf war and on the inside of the large rear door was a palm tree logo also similar to the Afrika Corp logo but had a camel in the middle and had the words Camel Corp stenciled under or above the logo.

Also seen at the forestry service on a deuce.

I am waiting on a guy to airbrush my company logo on my doors. When he does it I will post pictures.

I saw that Gunny mentioned the palm tree logo about a year or so ago. Reminded me of a logo I saw on an old MV truck at an open air museum.
This truck was supposedly used in one of the Indiana Jones movies, it's hard to see since it is whit and faded, but I magnified the area on the front fender.
It is the palm tree with the swastika.

That would be Rommel's old Afrika Korps stencil. It had a couple of variants:

That's the standard Seabee stencil, or at least back when I was still active duty we had that on all our equipment.

It wasn't broke, so I'd guess the USN didn't fix it and it's still standard. But you never know:

- I ran into an active duty USN officer at one of the college visits for my daughter a month or three back and he was wearing some strange blue camouflage that for the life of me I couldn't figure out what for.

Horses n Bulldozers - what else is there to say!


Don't know if they ever had these as 'door art' but I'd like to represent my M916A1 as being from the USAF 819th REDHORSE who were stationed in the sand box when my truck was current inventory. I'd already painted mine sand when I found out... They were also based at RAF Wethersfield in the 80's when I was still in the UK, which was only 20 minutes from where I lived.

Just have to put '819th' on the dozer blade to make it squadron specific...

That looks good; a nice graphic. My magnification isn't any too good at this end, what does the text say?

My buddy painted me a pig dressed in camo, holding a pistol, and smoking a cigar. Going to see if he can replicate it on my kick out vents on my cab.

Black Mesa
Research Facility.

It's the science facility that "Half-Life" the video game starts at. They were doing some "research" and ended up opening a portal that allowed aliens into our planet... and then started killing/taking over humans. you play Dr. Gordon Freeman.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-Life_(video_game)

Freeman awakens in the ruined test chamber and surveys the destroyed lab, strewn with the bodies of scientists and security personnel. Finding survivors, Freeman learns that communication to the outside is completely cut and is encouraged to head to the surface for help because of the protection afforded by his suit. His journey consists of sidestepping Black Mesa's structural damage and defending himself against hostile Xen creatures, such as the parasitic headcrab which attaches itself to a human host before enslaving it. Other survivors claim a rescue team has been dispatched, only to discover that the Hazardous Environment Combat Unit sent in is killing both the organisms and the personnel there as part of a government cover-up of the catastrophe.
