The "Postman Brought Me" Thread

Recommended Posts

Collected my delivery from the US of A!

Two items still required - steering servo and marine grease. Hopefully off to Halfords at the weekend so will pick up the grease then.

Deliberating on steering servo, I don't think I'll be going down the route of a Reefs RC or Holmes Hobbies servo given the cost and the relative lack of use my rig will get!

this right hand drive dash for my merc truck arrived today 

i was gonna buy a kit dash and convert my self but along with the sticker kit it would have cost more than what i payed for this 

real nice quality has drawers that open :lol: and 2 illuminated panels so the dash lights up (gotta find a way on how to connect/solder these as i have never done anything like this before)

next on the list is right hand drive dash's is the bruiser

Got a couple kits in the mail a few days ago... My first lunchbox and another kit I have been wanting for a while. Longer term build thread will be coming for the scx10.

gonna build both stock for now but I will put a slightly hotter mill than a silver can in the box'

As Iconic as a Sand Scorcher to me, an entry level, bonkers kit that everyone Tamiya fan should own at some point!

These 4 (ok 5, but the 5th one is not out of its box yet) arrived all through last week, and here they are in their most likely build order:

I don't think so, they have the ability to Fly or hover already. They might need a hop up for that toilet plunger, though that feature might be handy around the house on some occasions.

ah - but haven't they only been able to fly in recent years (since CGI has been able to - ahem - "replicate" it for our viewing pleasure?) in which case this might still be a useful hopup for a vintage one :)

You make a compelling case, even the old cyber men were rudimentary at best. Speaking of "replicating", I just wish Japan dropped the curtain and reveal their 3 1:1 size Gundams were the real deal. They are not fooling me by standing still or having a "back support"...

Honestly those Dr who robots don't really scare me, it's those angels that freeze when you make eye contact. They are scary as heck.

i dont know if i can post this pic but i finally got some Tegridy now. for anyone that watches South Park, you'd know what he farms/grows now. i got my "farming with Tegridy" shirt in today.

My Holy Grail. Or at least one of them

Bit annoyed that I didn't notice it was pre-drilled, which means I probably won't be able to use it on an FF03 project as planned :rolleyes: Hmmm....will have to find something else to sit it on

Just need one more pair of 50770 rims now...:ph34r:

Anyone?
