Goonie decals

[stickershock23]

So I was thinking, you dont see to many large scale Goonies,

Do you think I should start offering upscaled Goonie decals?

If so, were do I start? maybe just the original Estes kits?

Or maybe start adding a Goonie option to all my decals?

thanks in advance for the input. I've been kicking this around for a while,
and just can't decide

Upscaled Goonies? That an oxymoron . . .

what did you call me?

o.k Some I could do at original size, all depends on the detail involved..

Original size, I think water-slide is the way to go.

Upscale, especially when you move to 4" or larger tube, vinyl starts to make a lot more sense.

Hmmm, a 7.5" Cloud Hopper? Interesting idea. I'm waiting for someone to build a 36" or 48" man-rated one!

Uh, yeah, last time I checked the originals size was still available from Excelsior. Really no need for another vendor to offer them when such high quality versions are already available. Just my $.02......

Sorry Bro... I was just saying..
I don't really think I could do Vinyl that small and keep the quality/detail were it needs to be.

Now That's whatI am talking about, and that I have to see!!

A 7.5" Cloudhopper would need about six or seven sheet of waterslide decal.

Yea...vinyl might be better.

For the 36" diameter or 48" diameter man-rated versions, the patterns would actually be painted on.

Yeah, but we'll probably see a man-rated Star Snoop or Galaxy Guppy first, though. Darned government bureaucrats! No vision...

I promise everyone, if he really does build a man rated "Goonie" you can count me in to make the decals CHEAP!

nothing is better advertising than someone almost killing themselves on live T.V.

and you know that would get some airtime.... at least on...

The smoking gun presents "worlds dumbest daredevils" :roll:

Mark, Mark -- I had my tongue firmly planted in my cheek when I posted that stuff about the man-rated Goonybirds! But it's kind of neat to daydream about them, don't you think?

And besides, they would of course include ejection seats as part of the LES, just like the Gemini had. You don't think that I would ruin those splendid designs by adding escape towers to them, do you?

I totally know where you were coming from. I am not one of these "uptight's" that can't tell when a joke starts.

And Yes an escape tower on a gooney would be cool. I think someone once posted a picture of a gooney mercury redstone... hhhuuuuuummmm .

Not a Mercury but...

You guys realize, of course, that for some of us, the idea of a 24" Goonybird gets the mind going....

24" concrete forms are a standard construction item for us.

The reality is it becomes difficult as the motors get larger, due to how short they are. Massive amounts of nose weight are required.

Hey Stickers!

How about upscale goonies in thier ORGINAL form......... the original goonies are wayyyy cooler than what Estes finaly produced, but not really.... um... politicaly correct.
