What are you talking about?

LOL That's exactly what I was thinking...

Im interested in your sounds. I have been looking all day and could only find a few "ok" downloadable dino sounds. Where did you find yours?

Mine are pulled straight from the movie, with almost no editing.

What kind of shotgun / modification kit did you use to get something similair in looks to a Franchi SPAS-12?

That was the merger of two airsoft SPAS12s. The body is the right size, but didn't have the folding stock. So I bought a smaller airsoft SPAS that had the folding stock, and swapped it to the larger body.

Also, PAX RECAP!

I got a pretty neat opportunity this summer. TellTale put out word that they were looking for a Jurassic Park Jeep, and I was one of the few who answered the call. After a few phone discussions we struck a deal. In exchange for enclosed, insured transport both ways, TellTale could have access to my Jeep for their booth at PAX!

I spent most of August sprucing up the Jeep so it looked "brand-new" for the Expo. Painted the wheels, installed new soft top hardware, new tires, new license plates, and a lot more. On August 19th I cleaned up the Jeep as best I could to get it ready for Seattle.

It was the best it looked for quite a while!

I met up with the transport near my work, I was a little dismayed to see that the transport was not covered, but if I didn't let them take it then we would not be able to arrange proper transport to get to Seattle in time.

The following Thursday I flew out to Seattle arrived at the convention center to make sure the Jeep had made it. The Jeep had arrived earlier in the day, and a member of TellTale signed for it when taking the delivery. Unfortunately, the trip to Seattle was quite catastrophic and my paint job was toast. Here's what I saw during my walkaround.

Hardly ideal:(

But, that was when I got to see the booth for the first time. Absolutely INCREDIBLE! "Spared no expense," for sure!

One of my regrets is not getting a picture of the Jeep poking through that gate. Ah well.

Great shot of Chaos Theory observing that "they" do in fact "move in herds."

See? Herds!

Soooo cool!

Great big, better view

Pretty interesting week. Looks like everyone that saw the booth thoroughly enjoyed it.

Very nice booth, never seen one that nice before! I bet that trail cover did most of that damage to the paint. Any reason you didn't put your regular top on?

Sorry to see that the Jeep took a beating during the road trip. :(
My seats are also ripped up the same, I may end up having them remade from new materials so it lasts longer and wont have a faded look.

I don't normally keep the soft top in the Jeep, and TellTale told me they'd arranged an enclosed transport. I asked the carrier guys if the cover would be okay, and they recommended it. Apparently a big concern with convertibles is oil dripping from the car above them.
