Monica,


I had many a ride in a jeepney when my ship was in Olongapo, Pillippines. They had 0 suspension and I swear I lost a kidney. I look forward to seeing what you do with it. The box cover is exactly how I remember them.

Hi Dave,


Saturdays consisted of Buck Rogers, Knight Rider or the A-team, those were the days

Well last swap meet of the year for me,


but oh so ,very happy I found the fatboy,was going to buy from evilbay,for about $70.oo Aud from the states,[US],


but picked up this up for $20.oo ,just to find a 18cm Arnold to go with it, 9_9


and some of the usual suspects,as well,no real need to go overboard ,as we have a swap meet ever 2 to 3 mths,


as long as I have some think to do,


well hope you like them,

Hi Dave,

Yes when someone else made your dinner, made your bed, and made you go to school. Things were simple in those days.

 

[monica]

well this will be my GB,Muscle car,Dom,s Detroit steel,


and I will get this 1/24 figure as well,a local,on-line shop had him,BNA,Model world,


but looked today as was going to put money in the bank,and it has sold out,


so back to looking did see from across one of the ponds,but let again,the postage is just unfair,


but got lucky and found one in Japan,for only a few dollars different than hear ,so that mite be the go,


as I won,t to get a Arnold figure as well for my fat boy 9_9 ,but only able to get ever other week,or so,,

[PaulTRose]

ta Ian should be a nice build,never done this type of thing,

no different from an armour kit cept theres no weathering and you want a shiny paint job instead of a matt one
