RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

It gets worse Roy, I also ride a 2006 BMW R1200S. My previous ride was a 1982 R100. Both black, which is why my Fender is also black.

Surely Johann would have a Warwick Warlock?

Is there anything you can't find on evilbay?

..'Can't buy me love'..though, Gary. Nice find though, Estniche take note..that would be perfect for old Lobster face

But..vaguely veering back in the direction of Ausf's impressive physiognomies, what I really asked earlier was within 3d/ CNC technology exists whereby an egomaniac (not unlike Adolf himself..) could fashion their own noggins in 1/16, with a view to transplanting them onto standard Tamiya/ HL tank figures? Surely that would make for great novelty presents for birthdays, Xmas etc? But..only for those of us who can still stand seeing their ageing mush in the mirror?

Indeed he would
I used to ride an ex-Police R80RT to work, in London: a mighty beast and good in bad weather; but could fishtail in pant-filling way over 100mph (But not as much as the Norton Interpol.) The left hand Pot and beefy faring saved my left leg from being sliced off after a severe side impact from some numpty motorist who said "he couldn't see me', when he emerged from a sideroad. I was wearing high viz., and Police bikes are pretty obvious..but hey.
At home in the Highlands, after a catastrophic ankle break with titanium inserts (nothing but the best on the NHS, although they could be servo assisted )..I've resorted to a push bike. Deer are also a menace to themselves and motorists here, so I've concluded antlers and helmet visors are not likely to make a good mix.
Seriously considering getting a 1/4 scale tank to ride around in the next time i break something; certainly would beat a rickety wheelchair! or maybe a wheelchair with tracks for those tricky slopes

Tanks and Bass?

Easy...they're both rumbling, powerful instruments of mayhem.

P? Nice. Real Fender?

I had a Highway One P, yanked the frets off. I guess that fits into the tinkering model too.

For some reason, I always have to change something to make it mine. I added a drop D Schaller to my StingRay, I usually end up filing a nut or changing a bridge. I have friends who freaked when I altered my upright until they played it, it's like butter.

Highlander, my friend, I think Jeff is avoiding your question because he doesn't want to give you the bad news. I asked about that a long time ago and he told me that in his business he doesn't usually do individual heads for people. It's a cost thing. If a model company wants him to make a master of a figure they're going to pay him anywhere from 1500 to $3,000. Kind of see where this is going?

Ahhh...yep, that's a bit like Michelangelo or Rodin getting the commission (well, beyond the grave- by ouija board- and through a 'medium's borrowed hands..that is )
Interesting, and probably worth it for someone who's totally tank obsessed, an egomaniac, and filthy rich at the same time!
That said, I can empathise with anyone slipping into raptures about an upright bass that plays as smooth as butter (or Mingus?
