ASAD-BABIL "LION OF BABYLON" IRAQI ARMY FEB 1991

[HERMAN BIX]

Herr Bix: Let me know what I can do to cover the cost of those hubcaps. Happy to oblige.

It's looking lurvely, mate. Lurvely.

Nah mate, part of the service !! It may not have bothered you but I just hate open sprockets with the Allen key heads showing !!
I needed a set for me anyway so another $12 bucks ain’t a biggy

[HERMAN BIX]

And above all, since joining this place ticked over 10 years ago I have been fortunate to receive some amazing goodwill from members here & I feel it morally right to pass that goodwill forward when I can.

Tracks ?.............someone say tracks ??.............anyone say they love painting tracks ?? Anyone ? Beuller, Beuller.anyone

Ah! Ah! No! No! There's parking lot damage to a brand-new tank! Oh, I swoon, I faint.
Actually some of my tanks are all set for weathering (e.g. my Mato M10), but I can't bring myself to do it.

You are very much like Boudicca in that regard. I myself have perhaps insisted too much that all of my tanks be a "little" dirty when I work on them, but Boudicca is one of those people who just views the dirtying/weathering process as painful, and I can respect that. Even if you people are total weirdos.

There was a guy who built a replica M4 and came around for our reenacting events when I was living in the DC area. NIce enough guy, and always welcome, but sort of prickly: he hated it when the tank got dirty. Which, at the time, was rather humorous. Especially in the VA/Maryland/DC area when it was the height of summer.
