Tim i am just about to make the Tamiya 1/35th M8 Greyhound...

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

The zip is it either TALON...CONMAR.....or SERVAL because that could date them to WW2

 

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.

There are so many good books out there.

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

Citizen Soldiers by Stephen Ambrose.

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.

:twisted: ........where is that banned button :shock:

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:

 

"its a beautiful bridge"

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

Oddball, here is the story.....

 

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?

Very, very nice, I want them!

Regards

Paul

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 :?:

jack,

a few ideas for you to think about, ladies section, green girlies, corsage & corsettes & female fancies

can't think of anything else at the moment but will let you know if anything else comes to mind.

 

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

hello oddball,

I am above petty cheap shots & will not hold it against you so i can bring it back up at any given moment from here to eternity when ever you are least expecting it:wink: :lol:

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..........

Oddball you going the Water route?Karoshi

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:

I am stuffed as to what to call this section, please help

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 -

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)
