Any more news with this, I'm going to be working in Hayle (restoration on Harvey's Foundry, opposite Asda,under the railway)again soon and wouldn't mind a reason to take the rc's to work with me.
Beast of a build. Looks stunning in that table, I'm making a similar table for the Bren, crate-like sides, sand layer in the base with empty cases scattered around and the Bren in amongst it all, with a nice clear glass top.
Also, a friend smuggled some powdered goodness back from her last trip abroad, I shall be getting right on it tonight, start the New Year off in proper fashion!
I've kept the same resolution for the last 20 odd years, not to make one! I shall be starting the year off with friends out on our SUP's, and intend to do a lot more rc bashing!
I suspect mond has hit all the points, discon after a year, odd size, etc. I love all these type of trucks with flappy axles hanging out the back, if I had any faith that it would still be on sale this time next year I would have one.
He wants a full on jdm sort so it's probably going to be a killerbody or abc hobbies type of one, I shall pray on a daily basis to the eBay gods I can find one pre cut and painted, I would just balls it right up!
He was cool, ordered him a replacement yesterday and now have to source a nice jdm type of shell for him, hoping someone one here has something for sale.
I taught him to ramp hard fast and high with the finesse of a optimistic kamikaze, all this subtle handling business seems wrong, he also has about £500 worth of drift shells in my eBay basket!
I know somebody who did a home dna test a few years ago. It came back with percentages of the geographical area their ancestry came from. For example 20% North Africa and 80% Northern Europe. It wasn't more specific, ie Sheffield and Marrakesh.
