Thanks guys!

Yeah GoCards - they did have a lot of good "father-daughter" fun times building it

Well, the scale isn't quite Joe. They built it so 1 "real" inch would = 12 "model" inches (or obviously 1 foot), wheras Joe stuff is I think 1 "real" inch = 18 "model" inches (or 1 1/2 feet).

So this is 1:1 scale I guess and Joe is 1:18 scale, but if you shoot it from the right angle in certain parts of the farm it can pass for okay. It would probably work better with the new, O-ringless Joes, since they are about 1/4 inch taller than the true 3 3/4 Joes we grew up with, so the difference in scale wouldn't be AS obvious with them.

It was a labor of love for them - thank you all for the compliments!!
