Today I plan on hitting two WMs - one on 75 & Spring Valley the other at 635 & McArthur. I even contemplat...

Gainsville TX (middle of nowhere). Just to give you guys a geographical reference, Gainsville, Tx is South of the Oklahoma/Texas border in North Texas. It is 'middle of nowhere' but on major I-35 highway that runs North to South. Gainsville is about 60 miles North of Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex. My ...

the new planes look nice, I will continue to concentrate on 1/18th and 1/32 scales.

I am with you on this one. you can spread yourself to thin to quick!

TKO: YES!!!!!! Avengers are now in!!!! Today is July 28th which means I didn't loose my bet! 3 more days and I would have been toast! Now it's time to do some serious recon. DAMN!! I was THAT close!! Once again good recovery TKO and pulling up on the stick! Just dont do a victory barrel-roll yet! I ...

Catman,
PM me what what exactly you are looking for /want and let you know what the WMs that I frequent here in Dallas have compared to your wish-list. From my office window there is a WM 1000 yds away that has a dozen items on it self right now.

Catman, I am surprised by your comment. There are plenty of items in the Texas WMs especially in the major cities like Dallas, Austin, Houston, El Paso and San Antonio areas where there are multiple WMs. If you run into alot of the same items, you may have to visit WMs in the burbs in order to get s...

I think there are more like 7 weeks left before zero hour.

Digger, you are correct on that. Time is ticking.

I collect their bigger cousins - 1/6 Helo by 21st. The only model is the Little Bird version. I convert these into ceiling fan light fixtures. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6049097969 I have thread on this forum if anyone was will buy one for their home. Currently I have a PD he...

I hope that is true... I had a bet with someone here that we would see them before Aug. 1st. I only have 3 more weeks...

That bet still stands with me TKO! I would put a count down on this thread but the powers that be do not allow it.

This past weekend I took my 1:9 Abrams tank for a spin and was wondering if anyone out there has been able to get more horse-power out of these big boys?

I totally missed your reply. PM when you get a chance.

TKO,
Are you still feeling 'lucky' on our bet in Augs?

Look for 1/32 W2 German Infantry Afrika Corp. I think that the series is #5. They came i6 per set.

This past weekend I was at Home Depot and noticed that in the paint dept. there was a compound that comes in a spray can that is used to patch ceilings that have the white 'pop-corn' texture and as well it is used for dry wall texture. I forget the name of the product, but this stuff could be used t...

Sorry Digger for not replying, you want part of this action?

For TKO211,
Ok, I will give you under until August 31st, 2006, 11:59:59 PM but not a second more! How does that sound?
If you like we can sweeten this bet?

Anyone want to bet on a time frame for when they are on the boat heading East? I am going to say Sept. earliest. Any takers for over or under?

This is not at all a surprise. I have spent alot of time in Singapore and the official language of the country is English. Another interesting fact is the arm forces there really are the opposite of the term 'week-end warriors'. Every Friday afternoon, you would see most of military personnel riding...

I just saw this posting of the new F-104 for sale on Ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Ultimate-Soldier-1-18-F-104-Smokie-II-Vietnam-Camo_W0QQitemZ7040595215QQcategoryZ45347QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Is this out already? I have seen on other sites still as pending? if you read the details it claims to be ship...

Since you live in the DFW area, I would be interested in any of the items you are willing to part with since I live just North of you. Flower Mound. PM me and let me know.

I am mostly interested in 1/18 and 1/32 conversion into train scales.

This may have been asked before but what is the match up scale size between standard railroad scales (N, I, G, O, HO, H, etc) and 1/72, 1/32, 1/18 and 1/6?

I think this is a great idea! I will try this on my current 1:32 mini-project and let you know how it turned out.
