So, What Have You Done Today?

[XV Pilot]

Well a couple of days ago a friend brought this little number by my work. I said thank you and put it in the back of my car today I remembered it was there. It totally gutless....meaning I have stripped the guts out of it and am deciding how it will look on a trailer behind my Tundra...the job so far I'm thinking a real nice red and yes its more of a dingy than a boat...Hmmmmm could be getting into an expensive accessory

I think a boat and trailer would look great behind the Tundra, as long as both are to the same scale or close thereto.

The boat appears to be a smaller scale than the Tundra. Perhaps some mods to the superstructure might allow it to look like a larger scale model of a smaller vessel?

[Dojo Dave]

You could style it to look like a Japanese racing boat. They're quite small.

Dorvack.

Those things look scary.

T.C member and top chap Andy popped in last night to pick up some bits and bobs for his up and coming projects.

I think the Rough Rider will look ace when it's finished Andy.

Had to be at work yesterday, but it was pretty slow. Managed to trim this subaru body I'm doing for a friend. Finally getting a hang of using a blade, I'll be doing some really light sanding compared to my last scissor cut body.

Cusco Dunlop Impreza?

Decided to run a regen cycle charge my Nimh batteries.

***NOTE***

When you have a few sets of batteries, make sure it's what you think it is!

Somehow had a Nicad snook in (same colour shrink wrap as nimh),went off with some bang.

Been out and picked up a red edition holiday buggy from a mate of mine, chassis all done body not started.

Also had the dt03 and lunchbox out making the most of the sun

[Paulwolf350]

Got a bit more done on my Blackfoot resto. :-)

Nothing juicy got started on the rearrangement of my garage and so my work area this composed of removing everything from the shelves unscrewing the shelves that are tap conned into the wall of the garage reattach re drill,

re-stack the shelves move my storage cabinet 2 1/2 feet to gain ****** all room I then turned workbench 90 degrees knocking out bottom shelf. Reinstall shelf sweep clean and the whole time feed the army of mosquitoes that moved into the garage during this process. Only to end up with this

Spent 30 minutes eating diner and showering to then be recruited by the little guy to play mine craft before bed. Not happy with the mess I returned to the scene of the crime and now am relaxing with well deserved beer in front of this next step sort out all this chaos

Then hire lectrition as wife calls them to put a reliable powered socket in the garage as some genius thought wall plug...naaaaah so other than that nothing big! Lol

Sold my bike 4 years ago kawasaki vn800 Vulcan after it sitting unused for 6 years...Kids, they mess with your head. Maybe once they are off to college I'll buy my next one. Meanwhile I watch all the riders go by and say I miss that feeling, Roadstar midnight will be my next one.

I know that feeling well! Won't you get cast out of the US for getting a Japanese cruiser?!? Lol

[Dojo Dave]

I had one in England, when I live in Hampshire. Bought new in 95 rode it for 2 years.. Actually rode it to the 97 Kent custom show, interesting weekend. Bought the exact same bike when I came state side in 98 after riding a 2003 Yamaha road star 1600. I was spoiled. So the bike for me is a 2004+ road star midnight or midnight Silverado. Go big or go home... There is a niche for Harley either die hard bikers or yuppie show offs.

Found my old Master of the Universe collection, bought myself the thing I never got as a kid - the Castle Grayskull, so I restored it


​

​

​

Tested a shoot with a Wizzard Stick (smoke gun toy):

I've restored a vintage Kenner Star Wars AT-AT also, so used the Castle Grayskull project as a test for some weathering techniques...

[Nitomor]

^ Fantastic Simon!!

I never had Grayskull but one of my best friends did. Spent hours playing with it. Nice little collection you have there, paint job looks fantastic!

[Nitomor]

Just go the whole hog and get a Japanese 'Big Scooter'. I'd love one myself, but it would eventually kill me... financially and actually.

Dorvack.

How about the Honda NM4 then

pretty sharp but not my style

[Grastens]

Looks like a limo!

I have now grieved sufficiently to share that I put my RC plane 50 feet up in a tree, where to my knowledge it still remains. The slingshot did not work... But hey, I got a slingshot out of it! Sniping some pop cans in the backyard should do some good

So I fixed up my Willy instead:

It is now ready to roll! I just need the time...

[Nitomor]

Holy God, what did they do to that poor scooter!!

[Nitomor]

Just uploaded some pics of last nights super moon!

And Zoomed out slightly...

[edeneen]

got my Hornet kit today, I have not built an RC car in about ten years, so all those bags and parts look a little scarey.
