TOPIC:

I lent one of my QD Beetle to a kid that was playing with one of those throw away RC cars his dad bought him yesterday and already broke down today. And gave some tips on getting a decent car to the dad. So maybe Team Tamiya gets 2 more.
He was drifting on gravel after couple of minutes with a big smile. Made my day. And I took my GF01 dump truck for a spin.

preparing my new home since 2 weeks...... stand by with the tamiya touching, but I won a sonic fighter on evilbay

A very honorable deed there, Water. Here the kids, at least the few that I've had the bad luck of encoutering on those rare occasions, try to kick my buggy. I also had threats from two particularly evil brats who want to run over my buggy with their bikes unless I give them a try, which ofcourse I never will. These are kids 10-13 years old.

There are *some* youngsters who patiently stand by watching in awe socialising in a civil way, in which case I'm more than happy to reply to all their curiosity. It's just those half-witted trolls that I'm really afraid of. Ofcourse I blame their parent's unsuccessful care, but it's the result I have to deal with in the park. I'm mostly concerned about my potentially hasty reactions, letting myself go loose. It would strip a few good years off my playtime though.

Put Willy in the racing seat of the GF01 dump truck.
Needs some finishing, windows and a little paint maybe some NOS bottles.

Nicely done, I hadn't really paid attention to the fact the windows are just decals On another note, Is that a smaller than normal Willy?

So after receiving money from my sales, It's straight back out again Of course this was the end goal really, By reducing the number of cars I have & gaining the cash to buy much needed completion accessories So the list TBG bodies = Avante, Vanquish, JRX2, RC10, Dyna Storm, Triumph MCI Decals = the same + 3 others

Its the driver from the 1/32 mini 4WD WW/Jimny model. Almost a perfect fit.

I missed to touch a tamiya since 3 weeks. So I had a little time to play with my last projects. For the grass, my spares box is in my dad's parking box. So, rubbers and clips give an idea

Well with moving out 8 cars in the last week (under 60 now ), It was time to reorganize It was also time to finish off my display shelves with some more fake grass I called in to our local mega store last night at just the right time & found just the right attendant So I was after 2.3mtrs but got the last of the roll 3mtrs for the price of 2mtrs ($50 per mtr ) Anyway yay me So today I cut it all to size and sorted out the shelves & the extra was just enough for the cars on the floor

a dreaming room for me. Kilometers of shelves and all rcs in a nice order
