Stormbringer Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 This is a kit I've been waiting for for some years. A friend of mine used to own one in 12" to the foot scale and lots of fun was had putting it throught it's paces both off road and in water. In the box you get 4 olive green sprues, one clear and a set of poly caps plus a small decal sheet, instructions and an info sheet. I have seen this kit criticized for being over simplified but as long as it looks like a Gama Goat I'm not really bothered. I'll make a start proper on Sunday as tomorrow I'm on a training course.

Stormbringer Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 Ok folks, I managed to get home a little earlier than planned and made a start. Stage 1 Stage 2 completed. So far this is building like a typical Tamiya kit Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 Hi all A bit more progress on the Goat, so far I'm up to stage 5 with no real problems although I did miss a part out (B37) on the trailer coupling and have to gently wiggle it onto place.

Stormbringer Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 Morning all A bit more progress on the Gama Goat Hull front with winch fitted Driving compartment Wheels, fuel tank and battery box fitted both sides. No problems so report so far although there are some ejector pin marks to be dealt with soon. I'm just waiting to see what appears from the aftermarket boys as from what I can make of things there are a few options eg: ambulance trailer, hard cab, canvas cab etc etc. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phildagreek Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Looks good so far, what scheme are you finishing it in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 Phil I'm looking at the 4 colour scheme for this one and green for the next when it arrives. I'm also looking at a way of "turning" the wheels as if the steering works. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 Folks, a belated update on the goat The trailer coupling. Trailer Chassis with running gear bottom view of trailer body rear view of trailer. Again no major problems to report, it's another Tamiya kit. As for the 12" to the foot scale Goat a friend of mine owned one for a while and I got let loose in it a couple of times. It's definitely a fun vehicle to drive although I'm not sure I'd like to work on them every day. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
