Okay, I have already been sent several PM's to e-mail the zipped catalogue and I have had problems with some where the file size is too high, etc

I have now added the remaining pages as links in my 1st thread so feel free to save each page as required

Scanned images are not full size as all 28 pages would exceed my photobucket account allowance. Good viewing tho and readable when zoomed with Windows Picture Viewer

Cool, I will do that

My original catalogue is pretty worn so I am enhancing all the pages with Fireworks and exporting as high res bmp files

I am also creating a high res Flash (swf) file with page navigation buttons which should be cool

Will take a little time but I will do my best for all those interested

Once complete I will let you all know.

Cheers

Steve

love em to death. :smitten: :smitten:

i have managed to get my hands on a supergoose from 81, a motomag from 79, a mitygoose from 79 and a mongoose from 79. all need resto, but from the early goose builds i have seen on here, i can't wait to get em built. The longer i collect, the more i am getting into the early stuff.
