The Reader Posted July 11, 2024 Posted July 11, 2024 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. Quote
Murdoch17 Posted July 11, 2024 Posted July 11, 2024 Nice work! However, LEGO really needs to make that seat piece in white, among a number of other colors. Quote
Jack Sassy Posted July 11, 2024 Posted July 11, 2024 A good rendition! Those figures look good together. Have you tried adding the original hat on this Johnny? Quote

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". Quote

I do have the 2014 Johnny Thunder in my collection but didn't think about his reddish brown hat ... Quote
The Reader Posted August 29, 2024 Author Posted August 29, 2024 A direct comparison between the classic Scorpion Tracker from 1998 and its modern counterpart from 2024: Quote
Murdoch17 Posted September 8, 2024 Posted September 8, 2024 @The Reader : RE: the above picture you posted on August 29th could be titled: 'How it started - how it's going'. It would certainly be an appropriate title! Quote
