Actually Jimster, l quite enjoy laser work and find it fascinating, my consultant loves the latest technology. My concern is that this treatment may require a retinal injection. Call me silly, but l can't say l much fancy that!

Cool thanks :thumbup:

As for laser treatment, our dog had some, cost a small fortune.

Really! It's strange that you don't expect pets to have 'human' treatments. A few years ago one of my cats had to undergo chemotherapy. That cost an arm and leg too. It added an extra month to her life. Crazy, but at the time it seemed justifiable.

Hey, we're way off topic here :haha:

Hi.
Thank you Mr Jimster for your kind words,
It was rather an effort working out where everything needed to be and size wise to fit the chassis at 1/16 scale, made my head hurt some days, its like most of my builds all done from photographs, no plans or technical drawings involved.

There is not a control board as such, i sort of cobble together parts and intergrate them to work together and make my own " stuff " from components and do my own sounds on my computers audio program, works out sometimes.
The control boards like Clark and IBU etc are just too expensive for me so i do my own thing to get things going.
I have a king Tiger that i did the same way, several sound programs that i can change at will from the Tx
With vol control too.
Works for me :thumbup:
Mr Gunner ammended as decreed. :P

I noticed, thanks Mr Sub :thumbup:

Mr Jumbo01, they give animals same sorts of treatments we have, anything to make money. We once had an epileptic dog, the drugs direct from the vet doubled in price, I used to get a prescription from the vets, and take it to Boots the chemist, because they were exactly the same medication that humans take.

That's s thought, do Boots do flea treatment? That's got to be cheaper too. What, for my cats? No, me :{

Nice truck, Exhibitedbrute! I have one in 4x4 version. I like the foggy windshield and stencil work. Touch ups are always required.

I didn't realize that these trucks were going to be so massive! Very nice assortment so far!

General Jumbo01, I'd love to see that thing in action! I bet it's a real handful! :crazy: 8O

Sub, what a massive machine! Very cool and an imposing presence on the battlefield I'm sure! :thumbup:

Exhibitedbrute; growing up in the countryside of Wisconsin, I was very familiar with International Harvester's as a kid. Grandpa always called them "corn binders" instead of I.H.! :haha: I was once in a International Scout 800 that rolled 4 times! The beanbag chair I was sitting on in the back prevented me from receiving even the slightest bruise! :wtf:
You have a nice truck there!

I think voting will still be as difficult as with the "normal" TOTM contest!

Cheers,
Eric.
