my new hobby room

[junkman]

well, saw the other post, thought I would show off a bit. Keep in mind I just got it finished, and am in the process of unboxing and trying to sort through crap I havn't seen in a few years due to not having any place to work on things. Well, more like throwing everything in the floor and looking at all my junk. I still have several boxes to bring down out of the attic, but this is what I have got so far. I live up to my name once again, enjoy!

Nice collection! Wish I had such a large collection of junk.

[Mr. ED]

junk sounds too negative, try "scratch-building material"
I could have a couple years of fun with all the porject material on display only already.

Make sure you enjoy it!

[junkman]

yes, could use some organization! Lack of a/c up there is what is killing progress right now. I am wanting to pick up one of those portable inroom units. I am just happy to see it all again.

Slightly unrelated....I saw a highlift for sale this weekend. How much do they usually go for?

That monster is a yankee predator. Kind of has a long story. I don't live in a highly r/c populated area, there were a few hobby shops/tracks local around 15 years ago. One of the hobby shop owners, had this thing, It is absoluty hideous, but it is 1/4 or 1/5 scale, and came to the tune of $2500 I'd never seen it run, just sat behind the counter and he bragged about how fast it was. The hobby shop closed down, fast foward probably 13 years. A guy comes by my house saying he has a buddy wanting to sell some stuff, I attract these kind of people for some reason. He says there is some huge gas car, had a purple body with yellow wheels. I knew exactly what it was. The car is pretty much trashed, needs to be completely gone through, and even when done is ugly as sin. I have had it started and running, but thats about it. It is a French company, and from what I understand everything is still available but extremely expensive. I have tossed around selling it, because I just don't know if I like it enough for sentimental reasons, or parting it out and buying a 5b. The dang steering servo is a real wierd unit that is around $300 so I have been told
Here is a pic of what one should look like

Nice...
Think you can talk my wife into letting me get more than a few? She thinks 5 is too many cars

This is my favorite line "You don't run the ones you got"

Yeah, well you only got 2 feet woman!

Sorry, had to vent a little there.

Just tell her that you'll have plenty of room once you toss out all that sCRAPbooking stuff of hers that she never uses.
