;D Hey , Baron !
Thank you for the compliment .

   The most forward tank is a Wave Option Part   --- I find them in the sci-fi section @ Hobby Link Japan
   Wave makes a ton of very useful scratching-stuff .
I really like HLJ .
   Especially that " Private Warehouse " option where they'll sit on purchased product for up to 60 days before making you ship . Very helpful minimizing shipping charges since it seems half the stuff I want requires back-ordering . It of course encourages me to buy WAY more " since I gotta ship the other stuff it can piggy-back "   ;D : -- very clever policy on their part and the only retailer I know that does it .

...but it pays to go page to page thru their inventory ,time permitting , since their search-engine stinks ( often ) and I regularly find items that are tagged and displayed in the wrong section .Sometimes I can't even track stuff down for re-order with the original packaging in my hand   --- typing in every conceivable identifier ..   and thinking " I know it's from HLJ --where the H did I find this ?! :   !
I always tell them about it . often .
   Not in a while though   --   their last response was something like : " our search engine isn't as advanced as Google .. "   :

Yeah , it's the software

... . they've had a "Construction Machinery " sub-category in the 'Cars&Bikes' section for a year or so ( Empty ) ..
   ...... I asked when they would populate said space with product .
   They said they didn't have such a category

Now , they have some construction vehicles but that category is still empty .
maybe that category only displays in North America . Or , heck -- only Texas ;D

Armless Al is definitely from the Tamiya Motorsports Team Set .
I should refer to him as Franz now ,,   his cover is blown !!   Get your A-- to Mars !

I've been stockpiling 1/20 figures and tools to use in the large dio using the FlameHund and another two Grossers modified for sapping plus a Kuster --- all in an outdoors maintenance area in different states of repair/service using 8-10 figures .
Same plan as before -- with the newly delivered Bright Yellow plasma cannon being fitted to the FlameHund .

   I have enough body parts , and the machines , now to get where I'm going   --- with a saw , glue and putty

   I abandoned the eliptical shield array for the FlameHund ,, the style doesn't fit the above application   ,, but I may complete it for another Hund --- the Altair would maybe work . .. .
   I actually want to build another Camel now :

Did you see the boot-lace used for the FlameHund's hose ?
   I need to find more cord like that . It has a really defined mesh .

   More pics tonight for sure .

   Cheers ,
   Uru
