yes!!! to the flamethrower event! that would be awesome

 

[Jsfitzgerald85]

Dude holy ****

 

[Boris]

yes!!! to the flamethrower event! that would be awesome

the flammenwerfer event is so awesome and epic by itself that I'm afraid that mere existence of so many working flamethrowers and full auto MGs would tear a hole in the space-time continuum that would suck up all the freedom hating politicians from the Beacon hill and there will be no one left to rule over MA.

I have some work to do on the tracks. Tracked vehicles are royal pain the butt and I got some commitments already.

You need to come out to an NES shoot at Monadnock and fire that thing at a car!

 

[ColdDayInHell]

I desk popped.

Hey Boris, if you bring this baby up to Monadnock for the pumpkin shoot, you'll earn a large bottle of Stoli!

When is it? You are coming this fall, right? ... because I have another project that's a little more ... German. May be it will be done by then. ... also 1/4 scale though ... that bottle, it's 1/4 scale also?

Turn up the heat on your welding machine my friend. Your not getting any penetration all your weld is on the surface.

A lot of steel on it is pretty thin, so I'm always paranoid to burn through or warp it. I'd tack hot, then layer welds. It probably doesn't make sense, but it's pretty sound structurally and originals weren't prettier

Nothing wrong with padding welds .

If it's a high stress point you should hear the metal around the weld to help temper it . But you probably know that .

If you bring that tank to a car shoot, I'll bring you six full size bottles of vodka.

holy crap, when is the shoot?

Spring trigger breakout is in May. Watch Monadnock's posts. He said he was going to throw it up shortly.

What kind of vodka?

I may be introducing my spawn to the sound of gun fire at this pumpkin shoot. Would be BAD ASS to take a Christmas card picture of her in your tank with all sorts of rifles and shit leaning against it.

Just throwing that out there.

11/7 and we'll be there. I'll be coming over together with 3 friends, so you can pretend to fend off an invasion by the Germanskis with your toy. The NH Liquor Stores sell Stoli in 1.75 liter bottles, so that would definitely not be 1/4 scale. It's actually on sale at the moment at $ 24.99 - just 2 bucks more than a liter bottle.

That'd be classy, Ed.

Please tell me you're building a working 1/4 replica of the Bismark.

Dude, that won't be a problem, you just need to get some flektarn baby blankets.

No, actually I was thinking Pak38. It was 50 mm gun, so 1/4 scale would be perfect for 50BMG, breech loaded and rifled barrel and all.

11/7 and we'll be there. I'll be coming over together with 3 friends, so you can pretend to fend off an invasion by the Germanskis with your toy.

If Pak38 would be ready by that time, we can have a crew with authentic sound track to go with it. ... and no, you can't shoot the tank

 

[atilla]

^ epic.

boris if you come up for a shoot make sure i actually give you that barrel i have. sorry i forgot it at shady's wedding.

 

[warwickben]

Boris if you come to a shoot I'll have gifts too . I owe you a lot .

I was thinking an authentic tankers hat or ushunka (?) Or something.

 

[warwickben]

How much so I can drive it ?

I'm legit thinking about donating my rx8 to a car shoot . If I do id want you to shoot it with a tank first .
