Hi Lloyd It's Paul (bigredone) that's made the greyhound, not me.............I've got a deuce, weapons carrier, command car & two jeeps to finish before I think about any armour

Hi Lloyd The zips are Talon, If I remember rightly I got these from the U.S on Ebay & I think they were listed as M43 winter combats.

Thanks Karoshi, plenty of fodder for my chrissie pressie list there

I'm glad you recommended that Matt, I ordered it earlier this afternoon.

Good idea! I second that motion.

Hi all, Now the nights are drawing in I was wondering if anyone has a favourite book they can recommend on WWII? Particularly on the events after d-day.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change? :lol: :lol:

Boom!!!!! ...............No it's not

Ok anybody know what sort of trousers these are? They are lined, two pockets at the back & zip & button up at both sides, unfortunately the label is too indistinct to make out. Are they ladies winter combats? Front Back Inside

They're nice Paul, I've got a half finished deuce here at the moment (bit like Jack really) :lol: Are they straight out of the box or did you use any of the fine detail add on kits?

Jack, stop being mean & buy her a computer of her own then

Thanks for that Paul, I'd be up for any of that. Give me plenty of warning when something is coming up.

8) 8) 8) Is that a solo venture or can anyone join in?

There are plenty out there Paul, go get 'em boy............

Hi Steve The Sherman & Pershing are both Tamiya 1/16 R/C versions. The Stuart & jeep are both 1/6 scale kids toys but none the less bloody impressive for what they are. The jeep is just a static model though.

:shock: :shock:

So Jack, have you got that pulley off yet or what :?:

Ooh, I like the sound of corsettes anyway how about "Hand bags to sand bags"?

Hi Berni, Sorry can you say that again I must be deaf in that eye :wink:

How about a section for models? No! not the ladies section but for military modelling, you know airfix kits, radio control tanks & stuff..........

Can't say as I've thought about until I read your thread, when it seemed to float to the top of the murky swamp that is my brain. I'm going to give it some serious thought now though as the old jeep does pink a bit when I unleash the awesome power of all those horses :lol:

Call it anything you like, they won't listen :shock: oops, better duck, this is gonna hurt :!:

Just wondering if you guys had thought about water injection as a cheaper alternative to gas? The main aim of it is to allow engines to develop more power (spitfires used it) but another plus is that it can make an engine more economical by providing a more efficient combustion, which is why your car seems to go better on a misty day. Short article here - http://www.motherearthnews.com/library/1979_September_October/Water_Injection_Wizardry Many years ago I had a very simple set up on a MGB which consisted of no more than a plastic bottle, a plastic pipe & a nylon injector which went into a vacuum pipe. It just relied on engine vacuum to draw the water through the injector & atomise it. Things seem to be a bit more techinal now with pumps & such, but for a couple of hundred quid it may be a more viable alternative. It is WW11 technology, so is more in keeping with the vehicle. 8)
