Posted July 11, 2024Jul 11 This is my modern version of the legendary Scorpion Tracker. I modded set 60424 (Lego City "Jungle Explorer ATV Red Panda Mission") a bit especially by adding the classic Adventurers' cockpit piece so that Johhny's new drive can fit two minifigs, modern Johnny Thunder and modern Doc Lightning from the Natural History Museum (set 10326). What do you think? Comments and critics are as always very welcome.
July 11, 2024Jul 11 Nice work! However, LEGO really needs to make that seat piece in white, among a number of other colors.
July 11, 2024Jul 11 A good rendition! Those figures look good together. Have you tried adding the original hat on this Johnny?

We need white, white is what we need! On 7/11/2024 at 10:13 PM, Jack Sassy said: A good rendition! Those figures look good together. Thank you!

Concernig colours I'm an absolute purist "old vs. new".
