I am gearing up airbrushing again.... From my momma's house, I dug out the old 15g compressor my father gave me for my 16th... (was his since I was 10) Found a cheap filter at the local harbor frieght tools. A friend at work "donated?" several 1/10 Skyline bodies I am going to shoot. One of them will be inspired by the Veilside Rx7 (Copper/black) I will post photos when I am done. Before I met my wife I was into a LOT of other interests... :) Pegasus hooked me up with a couple of Pactra Bottles (discontinued) for 1.25 each (better then the 4.30 typical)

If the rain stops, and the humidity falls, we will get this show on the road...

I've had a load of things going on I won't bother you with.
Here's the good news.
After learning the Nurnberg toy exhibition is still (contrary to what I was told) ONLY accesible for professionals active in the toy commerce, I decided (about 10 days ago) to participate in a 2 day race event in the same weekend instead.

It turned out they were already fully booked for awhile, but then some folks dropped out and I could enter the 4wd class.
So I finished of my black dog ; mostly over last weekend, including most of the nights and friday night (been on a business trip to Swiss all week)

I will get some pics up some time this week. (Like richie said; not a priority during the build and race; sorry)

I ended up nearly last of all 4x4's, but rest assured, most of that was due to my driving, not the car.
Maybe I can find some pics of the race and my flying hot dog / YZ10 on the clubs site. Keep you're eyes open :wink:

Here's a list of breweries and the kinds of beerfor each

Well, since being laid off in Nov. I really haven't done a whole lot. Relationship woes and my son have put many of my hobbies on the back burner.

Here's what I have:
-I have a Graphite RC10 that will be my vintage racer for club meets.
-Picked up a 2nd 10t off CL for cheap- most likely a shelfer
-Picked up a team car hybrid and Proline monster truck conversion.


I'm trying to clean out and make space in the garage so I can have an area to build.

My RC money is all tied up in my new Losi 8ight right now. Got a new Spektrum radio, that free rx it came with is waiting for the right vintage ride. Have to hold off on the spending for a little while until the wife calms down from this last ordering frenzy, I hated to spend $105 on a personal transponder but it's a necessary evil of racing. she realy loved it when I showed her the tiny bag and told her how much it cost :shock:

Aaaaahhhh crap! I'm about to get passed by that orange truck!

I knew it!
And to see it confirmed by you jay, especially while I used one of the bodies I bought from you in this build... luckily I have a thick skin and will stubbornly go on annoying folks :lol:

What does the J/K stand for?
