Jeep Wrangler Rubicon
Goose1957 replied to mrmike's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Great looking Jeep. That blue really snaps out. Looks too good to take on the trail. But with all of that extra gear you built into it, I wouldn't be afraid to take it wheelin on the trail. Nice job. Jeff -
Green Jeep Finished!
Goose1957 replied to Tom Geiger's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Very nice build. Sometimes its more fun building from glue bombs and parts box parts then from virgin kits. Your Jeep looks great. Nice combo of parts. Hmm, wonder what I can build from my Jeep box?? Jeff -
International Scout Family
Goose1957 replied to dragstueck's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
As I replied in your semi truck thread, just beautiful! Love all of your Scouts! What hubcaps did you use for the stock Scout with the roof rack? I'm trying to find something close for a build of my Scout in it's early days. They look very close to the factory hubcaps. Very nice. If I ever get around to my car hauler project, I'm going to add a scratch built top for the SS version, as I believe they would have been delivered that way. But still, every Scout you built looks like a show winner. Congratulations, well done. Jeff -
International CO4070 Car Transporter
Goose1957 replied to dragstueck's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
AAARRRRRGGGGHHHH! You beat me to it! I was working on the same thing. Only, I'm still in the gathering of kits phase. Wow, that looks amazing! Great job on this build. I love the window stickers. Beautiful. Now, I don't know if I'm motivated to get my build going, or depressed someone else was thinking the same way as me, but beat me to it. I'm glad you finished yours, I'll probably take 5 years to finish mine, lol. Jeff -
YES!!! YES!!! YES!!! I've been waiting for Round2 to reissue the stock offerings for tooooooo long now, especially with the vintage style box art. Looks like I'll have to order a case now. Gotta have a few for some projects I've been dreaming up. Would love to see the style of stripes in decal form that my Scout came with from the factory. I've never seen this style offered in model form before. Time to make a model of my Scout when it was factory fresh. Now, just need to find some hubcaps that look close to the stock ones. Jeff

Beach Patrol
Goose1957 replied to TonyK's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Great Jeep build. Those flotation devices look suspiciously like fuel cans from nascar kits, lol. Very realistic detail you built into it. You took a bland kit and made it very cool. Jeff -
1977 International Scout SSll
Goose1957 replied to bogger44's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
That turned out great. Beautiful paint and color choice. The stance looks just right. Great detail work. Jeff -
Jeepster-Wrangler
Goose1957 replied to NOBLNG's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Wow that came out great! I was following your wip thread and hoping it turned out good. You hit a home run with it. Looks like a Jeep I'd like to drive in real life. Great build, Jeff -
1948 Willys Jeep
Goose1957 replied to tuffone20's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Great looking Jeep. Looks just like the real one. What a great gift. Jeff -
Dodge Ramcharger
Goose1957 replied to bbowser's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Nice Ram. The paint looks terrific. Great color choice. Now, in about a year, it'll have some rust starting, lol. Those great trucks from the 70's and 80's never survive. I hope your wife likes it as much as the board does. Jeff -
AMT Subaru Brat
Goose1957 replied to cobraman's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
With those air cleaners poking outta the hood, you know something wicked is under there. Bet its a 289, lol. Cool Brat. Jeff -
Yea, I've seen plenty of wild ones fly into trees around here. The farm raised ones, not so much. They tend to hit the ground like sacks of wet cement. I love that episode of WKRP! Have to watch it every year and it still cracks me up. The seriousness of Les's reporting is so good. A true TV classic. Jeff

Jeep J10
Goose1957 replied to BeakDoc's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Very nice. The blue decals look really good on the white. I like how everything is color coordinated. Good build. Jeff -
Shoot.... I was hoping to get a funnel cake, lol. Very nice trailer. Looks right at home at a car show. I can smell the frying grease now. Jeff

Blazing Bison.... with a twist
Goose1957 replied to Dirt Demon's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
Great looking tractor. I loved going to tractor pulls when I was a kid. I even built and still have my Meister Brau Special tractor when they first came out. I bought several of the repops for future projects. I like how you updated it with modern injector hats and all of the plumbing. Nice looking modern cage also. Paint looks gorgeous too. Makes me want to dig one out now. Jeff -
Thanks, I didn't want to post any copyrighted pics. Your brother in law built some beautiful train models. Too bad hollywood destroys all that fine craftsmanship, lol. I couldn't put in all that time and see it destroyed in a few seconds, even if I was getting paid for it. Jeff

They did crash a real train. Somewhere in the junk pile, I have the issue of Trains magazine where they went to the real shortline railroad I think in Tennessee (going on 20 year old memories) and showed the remains of the staged wreck along the rail line for the tourist trains to see. Maybe some of the scenes were miniatures, but real locomotives and cars were used also. Now I have to search my junkpile. Jeff Quick edit, Google search turned up Great Smokey Mountains Railroad at Sylva, North Carolina . Photos of the wreckage still there to this day, rusting away.

What was the worst movie you saw at the theater??
Goose1957 replied to slusher's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
The Russia House. Saw it back in 1990 in the theater with my high school buddies. Thought Sean Connery and Michelle Phifer would be good, kinda like a James Bond type plot. So bad, I think it's the only movie I ever walked out of. Maybe if I saw it today, maybe. Jeff -
Hopper's Blazer
Goose1957 replied to disconovaman's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Very nice. Never saw the show, but the Blazer looks good. I like the conversion. Jeff -
Awesome pic, wish I could see that truck and all the cars to see the small differences in them. Maybe the one on the back would "fall off" in front of my house?? Jeff
-
Lol, I wish I thought of that! Great looking build. I have each version of this iconic car in my stash to build someday. I only hope they come out half as good as yours. Keep up the great work. Jeff

1966 Ford F100 Fleetside
Goose1957 replied to dougwintz's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Nice truck. The paint looks great. Beautiful interior with those seat decals. Jeff -
40 ford pick up fiat drag team
Goose1957 replied to gseeds's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Now that's a cool combo. Great looking build on both of them. They look very period correct. Beautiful paint job, not over the top. Nice. Jeff -
Beautiful looking truck. I like your color choice. I would say all of your extra work paid off on your build. I never cared for the extra mirrors that are put on many Japanese cars and trucks. They may help you see blind spots better, but they really detract from the otherwise clean lines of the body. Just my humble opinion. Great work on the truck. Jeff
