we've had plenty of snow up here in the north, just had a look out of the window and its snowing right now.

this is my favorite time of year i love it!!!!

cheers oz.

aint this typical, and theirs a few of us southerners that will understand where im coming from;

When we want snow, we get nada. when we dont want it, we get enough to replenish the north pole 12 times over!

(nottingham meet, spoiled for us by 3-4 inches of snow)

for me this is the perfect time of year to get some modeling done,

its cold dark and snowing, i lock myself in my room' put the fire on have a good supply of coffee and biccy's and start those unfinished projects. :~

oz.

I can see you are correct,up pretty late tonight OZ.I'm like that myself,just seem to get more done locked away and late night while the house is asleep. Well cheers all,wishing for a white Christmas.Sax

the daughter is ill with the swine flu so I'm pulling the night shift, i got my models my PC mates and re-runs of Frazier on the TV so every-things pretty good.

apart from the daughters swine flu of course

I picked up this tip last winter.

If you want to run your tank in the snow then put it in the fridge for a few hours first. This makes the tracks cold.

Now, when you run the tank in the snow, warm tracks won't warm the snow, and it won't stick to the tracks and clog up the wheels.

For those with loved ones this may present a slight problem.....

great vid! your tiger seemed to of found it very easy
haha great idea but i dont think theirs enough room in the fridge for a tank? will put the just the tracks in instead (Y) haha
