Title says it all, so, here we go. 2 cheap metal toys I snagged out of a box my Mum won at the auction we regularly attend. Both large, and brightly coloured... well, not anymore.. (Yeah, I know I didn't quite get the front. I'll need to go back and do that.)

They look great for a big hummer and ute*, very civilian, very cool! *"ute" = 4WD of "pickup truck" for you uneducated people, coming from the name "utility vehicle." |

Their over exagerated style works well. Too realistic can be too realistic.  And at Dimitris age those utes would be "root utes".

Very cool, Dimitri!  And thanks for the language lesson, Ross, as "UTE" 'round here is an Indian tribe in Colorado. |

They were selling 'em* right here in PA**, so why not CO***. *The motorcycles, not the "Native Americans". ** Pennsylvania, USA, not "Post Apocalyptic". ***Colorado, USA, not "Commanding Officer". We are a newsgroup forever separated by a common language...

Well, if I'm ever in PA... That aside, they were quick, easy, and something I actually completed in one evening. Glad you guys like 'em! Now, I got another find; a nice little open Jeep, with the rail thing towards the back. I -want- to get some GS/Procreate, and get a few Trenchers in there, a driver, shotgun rider, and a gunner on the back.. I saw those mounted Ma-Deuces someone posted (Forgot who...), and I think they'd work beautifully for my purpose. Now, seeing as every cent to my name just went towards groceries, it may be a while. But, with any luck, I'll have cash in soon. |

Dimitri... eating is over rated. Your in college... vegans have their groups, maybe you can become a cannibal that feeds only on those vegans? I went through my lean times (it's True!!!) where my weekly grocery list consisted of 7 cans of Pork and Beans, a box of crackers, a loaf of bread, a jar of peanut butter and a jar of Jelly.Living in California at the time paying $90.00 plus tax for a room weekly, and earning a $105.00 a week pay. Only took little over 6 weeks to drop some unwanted weight! Edited by Tinker, May 11 2009, 12:46 PM.

Not -quite- in college.. I'm not in until this fall, so, aforementioned money went to my mum, so -she- could get whatever was needed by the household.. and of course she forgot my bloody coffee. And the eggs. And a few other things. But, yeah, I can survive on Ramen, with a few cheap-o supplements.. off-brand canned veggies are often -better- than the name-brand, and cost a lot less. Little things like that. |
