You will have to wear tight clothes,no pockets or head wear either,I'm having the optional metal detectors installed around all doors and opening windows lol

.....look fantastic bound,gagged and slung from a crane or two ...[/quote]


That must be some party Wink

As for the new load, most excellent and the rivets add great detail to it. As part of a lift in a dio it would be fantastic.

Gary you are shhpot on there,you do get the deck with the bridge which includes a straight section of track,and removable handrails,

Sorry Bob,I have no weight for you,possibly 750gs?

The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

Yay for stress!!!

This happened a few weeks ago,with numerous things playing on my mind,all I needed was a trigger to tip me off the scale,that trigger was glue that didn't glue,so a gasket was blown big time and I grabbed the model like you would a rat at your pint and flung it to the ground.

When the dust settled,this is what greeted me.

From this once mighty orange beast,the way Gaz Evans ment her to be


To this twisted sorry remains










Supprisingly Gaz's boom and stick held up well,some salvageable parts there

I did it with lego as a kid, and the models would break into many pieces - very satisfying

However with these models it's a little more costly.

Agree that you should find a hobby that doesn't require the same level of patience Teeth

lol

The humour I was in that day was fierce,I think it started off with seeing McAfee sneakily charging 2 years worth of subscriptions to my credit card,anyway I have to say I did feel great right after the "accident" lol,then it sank in,but I think I could have done that to anyone of my models at the time(half kilo of diecast and plastic laughing at ME!!)lol,luckily there is no Child Services equivilant in the diecast world.

A couple more interested members and I could make my money back on this Teeth Teeth

I think it will go on a low loader,weather it up,with a suitable storyline,"angry giant" or there abouts.

Well one less model to pack up for moving day,WINNING!!Teeth

Having just gone through a move, I must admit that the thought crossed my mind more than once.
