Those look pretty cool and that plate on the front would make it a lot easier to hide a steering servo. More good stuff that's given me more to think about. Man, I love this hobby, and this forum, and all the great guys that make the hobby even better!! :clap: :clap: :haha: :haha: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Take a look at some very late war and early occupation MP jeep pictures on which they mounted metal racks on the jeeps rears. Might give you someplace to hide batteries under tarps for your rc project plus they tended to have 50 cals mounted on them. Sorry but I didn't keep any pics to post but they are out there.

Yeah, I did it again. @)

See that photo in the background? See the nice legs? That's Mom, so be nice, Men. Wolf whistles are OK, but kept down to a dull roar, eh?

Now, how do we make it fire rockets?

Yeah, those are the same people that make the fuel drums, and I first saw the drums in an ad for this kit. I think in FineScale Modeler.

I know how you feel about too many projects, but by the time I get around to the Luchs other guys should have blazed trail for me. That always makes things easier. Now I need to get off my duff and get this Kubel going. And get these figures finished. And change the smoker in the JT. And self center the i6. And detail all the new accessories. And finish the buildings I started last year. And do the gazebo (haven't even bought that yet). And build the buildings to be added this year. And get rid of the brush pile. And clear the undergrowth. And get a start on the huge freakin' castle Roy talked me into building (not really, but he's takin' the rap).

Enough? I have lots more. :crazy:

Did I hear "Uncle"? @)

Much better deal on this. Five bucks!! (well, $5.50 USD, 3.82 pounds, 4.89 EUR). There's a question, what's the three letter abbreviation for pounds sterling? BPS, maybe? I don't have one of those fancy little L signs on my keyboard.

I've already concocted a whole background in my head for this piece. This was the farmer's old truck, before he got the Opel. Gotta get the produce to market, eh? Anyway, now it just sits in the weeds behind the barn. Gotta repaint the sides. Anybody ever heard "Die Eier Von Satan"? I'll paint eggs, butter, cream on the side in German (or make decals) and it should look pretty cool. Might even set it on a base with weeds so i can just drop it into place in the park. Kinda like what those guys are doing in Spain. Got some real good ideas from that layout.

I love these little deals you run across. On the other hand, I'm still bummed that I missed that 1/18 FW-190 for 30 bucks. :'(
