Augh to go dig that sum itch out.

Found these guys under the bottom deck going to take the trash out tonight. They just hung there no matter how close I got. I let them be as snuggly as they appear. Not making that mistake again.

Back in the days I had one Hot Trick car. My Tamiya Fox got a full Hot Trick conversion, resulting in a dramatic change of appearance, a debatable upgrade in driving characteristics - and confusion of threads in my screw box. Today I have several Hot Trick conversions where two are runners – a Fox a...

Man I get distracted with projects so easily.

Anyway I have a set of MIP...

Picked up an Arrma Felony yesterday. Also bought a clear body for it as well (was an expensive trip to the LHS lol) so I could airbru...

Hello! https://i.imgur.com/v8pdeVD.jpg While I'm waiting to restart the Marui Hunter project, I decided to start the build of the Javelin which was sitting under my desk for the last few months... The opened box is as usual nice and clean. Almost tempted to keep it this way, but that's not possible ...
