martinfan5 Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 The idea came to me while sitting out in the back yard, and I was looking at one of the many ###### gopher holes I have, and I thought to myself, hmmm that mound would make a great jumping mound for the general. So I decided to do a then and now, since I already had a new charger painted up in orange, I put some general peel and stick decals on it , and made It a new general. I have some more lindberg charger police cars waiting for me to put markings on them, so I printed out rosco's police car decals on paper and just tape then on.
Drake69 Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 (edited) Although the new Chargers (to MY eyes anyway...) are an abomination, I appreciate the thinking involved in this. Good work!! EDIT: now you need a new Mustang and new Charger and have them chasing each other "Bullitt" style... Edited August 9, 2011 by Drake69
martinfan5 Posted August 9, 2011 Author Posted August 9, 2011 Yes danno, I know another general thread
Jim B Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 Very interesting. I, too, like the "then & now" with the original General and a new General. Very cool. Your cars (like most 1/25 cars) are only missing one thing: drivers! Nice job all around. Darn gophers!
vaughn Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 siily questioned but how did you get the General positioned like that ?

Sixties Sam Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Very cool! Great idea, and well done! Sam
martinfan5 Posted October 14, 2011 Author Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) Thanks guys, , no the gophers are not holding it up, but they did build the dirt hill for me , I used to of the metal strips off of a rake, then just put a part of them in the dirt . The whole idea came to me as I was sitting in the back yard one night, looking at the gopher hills , and then the idea came to me. Edited October 14, 2011 by martinfan5
gasser59 Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 Finally, something a gopher was good for. Otherwise useless in my book and they don't taste like chicken. Great execution Jonathan and I like the original version better.
