"WHITE TIGER"
Posted: Sun Jan 19, 2014 7:34 am
Went to a large shopping centre today to get bits & pieces to build a diorama base to sit the jagd panther on when its not being used etc. Because the world had a rush on iceblock sticks that were not pre-coloured, I had to do the entire length of the damn place to the furtherest store away from the end where I left the car.
About 3/4 of the way up, I passed a temporary boothy-kiosk type joint that had a very bored Asian lad in it doing his best to very likely update his social media staus to "bored-shitless"
There in the case was a Tiger 1 with as the price sticker indicated had 'metal wheels and chain' for $230
I went off on the mission to get the iceblock sticks & came back. Status was now clearly updated to "almost comatose"
I interupted his stupor & asked for a closer look at the tiger in the window (the one with the wagg- ely tail !!)and he lethargically did.
Yes it had steel drive & idler wheels, and the chain was in fact tracks - steel and apart from bright silver correct to the early build year of the rest.
I saw these thing here for $285 AUD before xmas, now its $230AUD so you know what was comming !
"it looks like it will break mate" "no-no it good-no break" "ok, you sure ?" " yes I sure" "righto-$200 is all I have .
"no-no you to cheap" ...........yes mate, I am, but $200 is it or i'm off.
Hmm, (process of thought to calculate his boss imports these for like $5 bucks or so and this is a good earn just after the hoo-haa of xmas when punters are tighter than a fishes butt).
"ok, you got good deal" and he gets one in the box out from under the counter. Not the demo one I was expecting.
Got it home, looked for a bit of subject material on the net and greeted the wife with a Tiger 1 box by the garage door when she got home !!
Well that wasnt so smart, but I've still got it eh
!
So, heres the subject I want to do.
Wish me luck
