Very nice except for a few things... 1. Hopefully the production examples will have the wiring for the headlights hidden, and not dangling beneath the vehicle, and 2. the wheels and tire look terrible, very toy like.

Sorry if I'm too blunt, but thought some constructive criticism could be helpful.

Wish you success with this, and I'm eager to see your future offerings.

Thank you very much man,your suggestion was very heolpful。We'll try to fix these problems.

 

[GO-TRUCK]

Any reason the lug nuts would be chrome......?

There's no reason.We painted it green yesterday.

 

[GO-TRUCK]

Nice, I wounder how much.

We haven't finish the pricing yet.But I can say it's below $250(including the freight).

 

[GO-TRUCK]

Like with Taowan the shipping costs to the UK are just too much for me, now if there was someone who stocked these in the UK...

Are you in UK?

 

[GO-TRUCK]

Looks great (except for the tires- they really need to be fixed. The hubs look wrong, the lug nuts look giant, the tire size seems all wrong, etc). How much, approximately, would it cost?

Sean

We want to price it $250(including the freight).

 

[jimmy bob]

do you know how much the Humvee will cost?

 

[GO-TRUCK]

It's a good looking beast. I don't know if it's perspective, but it seems a bit bob-tailed.

I can assure you it's proportion is very good.We use the wide angle lens shot to let it looks real.Perhaps side effects is looks a bit out of shape.

 

[GO-TRUCK]

The Jeep does look fine but the big question is why make one in the first place when Dragon Models made a really nice one not too long ago? I will never understand why make a vehicle if someone else has already made one when there are other vehicles that could still be made. Hope that this goes well for you but how about something not already done.

The truth is like this：we pruduced this several yeas ago.But at that time，we only sell our products to the chinese players.Many Rookies comes to us by many yeas past,they don't have the Willys and other vehicles.So we pruduce some more willys to let the rookies play,so we just produced 100 of that.At the same time we want to try to sell our products to the new players in the United States,I believe that they doesn't have one also.That's the reason.

And in the next year,we'll let you see what we really have.There's many new style vehicles of Modern War.

this is really cool!! can't wait till there for sale.

Thanks for your encouragement

 

[GO-TRUCK]

Awesome!!! Come on Go Truck! We want the humvee!!!

Thank you.The HUMVEEs are painting now.

 

[GO-TRUCK]

Now that's funny! Awesome....but we want something else.......:lol

There's manything else in 2016.We won't let down.I promise that.

Because it's easier, and cheaper, to do something that has already been researched, developed and produced....just buy the other guy's plastic model, which is already good, and use it to tool up for your own attempt....make a few things different, so you won't be accused of pure copying, and voila, you have a model that you can sell as your own, for many times what your pattern cost.....

Simple, really......so don't waste your time thinking that they will come up with more stuff if this one does well.......they don't don't have anything else they can copy that's already been fully researched and developed......

Wow. Why the disparaging assumptions and comments about how and why GO-Truck developed this vehicle? I don't see the problem with them making this even though someone else has already made it. Many of the most desirable vehicles have already been made in 1:6 scale but there's no reason that other companies shouldn't take a shot at producing their own versions of the same vehicles. How many 1:6 vehicles has Dragon done that had already been done by 21C? Should Dragon not have made any of them just because someone else had already done the research and created a model of something? Certainly the Dragon versions of those vehicles are of a higher quality so why not? Who's to say that some won't consider this to be of higher quality (some people prefer the weight and durability of metal over plastic) than the Dragon offering? And there are certainly lots of people that would prefer a built and assembled vehicle over a kit. As for the research, nowadays that can often be as simple as buying a few books. Vehicles like the Willys MB have been thoroughly researched and affordable publications printed with the results of that research.

I was curious about your comments concerning this company so I searched for other threads about GO-TRUCK vehicles to see if others shared the same sentiments. I only found a few threads and only one concerning something (their BMW and Zundapp motorcycles) that they've already produced. In that thread (http://www.onesixthwarriors.com/for...-r75-motorcycle-zundapp-ks750-motorcycle.html) another member mentioned that he didn't see any difference between the GO-TRUCK versions and those by another company. Your very reasonable reply to that was:

"I hope that doesn't surprise you....if the shovel (as well as the motorcycle) is being portrayed as historically accurate, then they should look the same no matter who makes it.....?????".

Why the change of opinion now?

Any chance one could buy the motor for the Willys from you? I'm sure many would also like to get the motor besides me

Justed wanted to (try to) get people thinking for themselves, that's all......so keep your shorts on, bucky.....:lol

 

[Davinator65]

Wowzee!!! AT $250 including freight?! If I collected WWII I would be all over this!! Now I am concerned whether it is made of metal or plastic...

 

[DaFather]

Overall I like it, with a few nits to pick.

The gas can "Jerry" can is a big NO. Formative Toys aka SOTW made decent looking Jeeps for the most part, but the gas cans were just boxy lumps or totally unreal. Might be better off to find someone that makes resin can with good detail, don't worry if the cap screws open or not, just get a good looking can and go for it, don't even try making them out of metal or such.

The Machine Gun Pedestal should stand straight up, not be leaning back.

The Blackout Light on the left front fender, something doesn't quite look right.

See how in this picture, the protective ring / mounting bracket actually sits a bit sticking out over the edge of the left fender. Field mods notwithstanding, this is how they were typically mounted.

Yes please paint the wheel nuts.

Yes please primer the metal parts before painting them, I can see a few bare metal places where the paint chipped off, look at the right top of the windshield of one of your photos.

Bah! And to think I was coming in here this evening expecting a scathing response. So I take it you were just being difficult again?

 

[oliver]

Very. very nice. For me, the light up feature would be redundant. I could do without the wires and battery compartment. And the wheel nuts would be much better in a non brassy/shiny finish. Other than that it's a might fine looking ride.
