Anna and Eva go trailing

Anna and Eva's outing this weekend.  Sorry for the low res on the photos.  The caption app does that...

Spot my screw-up that I tried to hide (and failed)!

Great setup as always. What's with the black tentacle in the second last photo?

That's my screwup. I forgot and left my camera mount in the shot. It's a flexible tentacle with suckers. Super handy. You can use it as a stand or hang it off something or hold it like a selfie stick. Amazon purchase. Best $10 I have spent in awhile.

Great Trail ! I really love your vehicle. There are real little bolts in the tires ? And real fabric on the seats i see. And the jeep starts to get a nice weathering
If they drive in that crazy way, they will need the shovel from the Jeep soon, to dig it out

There are nice tutorials here in the forum for to give a figures head real hair. But also many very cool hats for modern 1:6 figures

Great pictures!

Bwahaha!

Nice little photo story, which is a great way to present your customs and kitbashes. Witty repartee, too. I think most of the shots came out great and the low resolution caused by the captions app didn't really get in the way much. Speaking of captions, there seems to be an empty orphaned caption baloon in your second photo.

Gah!  You are right!  That was a oops.  I grabbed that one to send to Flickr...one sec...



edit: there fixed it. Good catch!

Glad to help. I only spotted it when I saw you mentioning something that you overlooked. But now it's perfect.

Interesting sequence. I like how you were able to pull off that one wheel off the ground shot.

That happens allot! Not enough flex in the axles. The trick is to let it settle then continue on. Keep pulling with it jacked like that and you might end up on your top (or Anna's head).

I need to post some running videos. It actually 4 wheels pretty good.

Yes those wheels have around 30-40 little bolts. I usually assemble them while watching videos (disengage brain). 

Hmm... I do need a stuck scene! Good idea! 

I am pretty happy with Anna's sculpted hair. Eva's on the other hand is very dollish. I think I will replace her head sculpt at some point.

Wonderful outdoors shot of the girls on the trail, and great story too!

Here is a video for anyone interested.  I suggest no sound as my leaf crunching steps are pretty loud...I haven't done any post to this video.trailing_video by EmoryRiver Troll, on Flickr" />

All that's missing is Jeff Goldblum laid in the back desperately urging "Must Go Faster!"

I am thrilled.
The photos are so exciting and the comments are very nice.
And then the video with a dangerous ride!
Perfect

Very neat. I had actually completely forgotten that this could really be driven.

I just wish there was more scale vehicles in the 1/6 range. The majority of them are 1/10. Even the 1/12 figures are too small for the 1/10 vehicles. I'm not sure if it would be easier to make a 1/6 vehicle or a 1/10 figure...

This is so true. We have often discussed the scale (or not quite accurate scale) of vehicles on this forum -- both cars and motorcycles (especially). And you make a very good point about the theoretical difficulty of scaling...

Very kind words. Thank you.
