PatW Posted December 5, 2021 Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) All done. Shaky hands trying to do the side markers! Edited July 12, 2022 by PatW
David G. Posted December 5, 2021 Posted December 5, 2021 What a wonderfully wild color scheme! It definitely has a Seventies vibe to it. The photos are a little on the small side but from what I can see they look great. Especially the muddy tires. David G.
Zippi Posted December 5, 2021 Posted December 5, 2021 Nice looking Bronco Patrick. The matching colors looks pretty sharp. Nice job. I saw the Baja Bronco setting on the shelve at HL and they had 40% off so I picked it up.
mikemodeler Posted December 5, 2021 Posted December 5, 2021 Looks good from here, digging the crazy paint scheme!
Tom Geiger Posted December 5, 2021 Posted December 5, 2021 Great work! Love all the color. I have one of those dune buggies someone painted all flat black.. no comparison!
PatW Posted December 5, 2021 Author Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) Thanks guys. Tom, I bought a kit from Scale Equipment years ago and have refurbed that as well. Pics to come. And here they are after a quick dash into the cabin in the garden where all is stored! Edited December 5, 2021 by PatW

But as a non-techie who is 70+ how do I enlarge them?
happy grumpy Posted December 5, 2021 Posted December 5, 2021 Really nice Bronco, Makes me want to build mine that I have since the first issue. Great job and the paint is spot on for the period.

Can-Con Posted December 6, 2021 Posted December 6, 2021 Looks great Pat. Sure is great to have that old buggy back again.
slusher Posted December 6, 2021 Posted December 6, 2021 Looks great Pat, and the rebuilt dune buggy is very sharp…
PatW Posted December 6, 2021 Author Posted December 6, 2021 Thanks guys. I have a couple of new pics today, The Team Photo and if your pushed for space in your garage you can always put the Bronco on the trailer!

There are free apps available for computers and smartphones that are pretty easy to use. Additionally many phones and computers may already have programs or apps for doing this preloaded. It's difficult for me to be more specific than that without knowing what you're working with. That, and I'm not really a techie either. I guess doing a search on the internet would be a good place to start. Something like "How do I enlarge photos on iPhone?" or whatever may apply in your situation. I hope you find this helpful. BTW, the additional photos look great! And please let me know if I can be of any further assistance. Regards, David G.

I'll search 'How to enlarge photo's on my PC, to post on forums. Being over 70's neither of us have I Phones. We have dumb phones to make calls but are not interested in anything else, far too complicated as they always 'write' stuff in a language that's not English, it gobble de gook.
stavanzer Posted December 7, 2021 Posted December 7, 2021 Fantastic Builds. As others have said, great choice of colours! I remember seeing racing setups in similar bright colours many years ago, in my teens. I like seeing both Buggy's in one shot.
PatW Posted December 7, 2021 Author Posted December 7, 2021 Well thanks guys, I've had the most favourable replies ever!
Oldmopars Posted December 8, 2021 Posted December 8, 2021 This Bronco combo looks great, cool colors. I am glad to see your build as I just got the same kit recently. It looks really good.
PatW Posted December 9, 2021 Author Posted December 9, 2021 Thanks Scott I hope the weather is not too bad where you are.
