I’m wrong, it was the Banggood website, not AliExpress, and it was $134.63 shipped. The box stood up good in transit and it took about 3 weeks to arrive.

This is the latest RC model by Coolbank in 1/16 scale. I placed it beside a 21st century toys M3A3 Halftrack in 1/18 scale and they work well enough for me. When I saw this thing advertised I thought I would turn it into my own version of the “Haunted Tank” with Jeb Stuart. The tank commander is...

I just went back and checked my pledges and have nine paid for figures to include a nurse and a couple MP’s. I will probably throw a couple more troops onto the order when this finally happens. I wistfully glance at my M113 on the shelf and look for space to bring out the M48 Patton tank; not to...

The latest update, cheers!

That’s cool, I got quite a bit of fun outta that toy. I had the dragster with chute, and the big travel RV that year, the big PX in Stuttgart must’ve had a sale going on. Then there was the Big Toe field goal kicker from about 1977 that you could launch the small plastic ball a good 20 feet...

So California Creations is releasing another improved stunt cycle. I had to preorder because they had me with the nostalgia thing. I got my first one in 1976 and have bought the reproduction they offered in the past which was close enough to the original to have fun jumping GI Joe vehicles.

I know, right, I have replaced several GI Joe heads with ones from Star Wars or other figures over the years. The male head sculpts usually looked better than the females for some reason.

These head sculpts on eBay are pricey but they look really good on older figures. Helix just got a makeover in time to test out a new Honda in the motor pool.

So, here’s a dumb question, are the GI Joe o-rings 4 inches or are they taller like their other lines?

“Alright kid, don’t worry, we’ll find your dad before nightfall.” “Now what was your dad’s name again, Dr. Indiana Jones?”

Thanks for the advice, I’ll definitely check out their site. I never thought about dying the colors and I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s 😂

I’m finally getting close to making a custom Virginia State Trooper. I’ve got the parts that look like a good fit from different makers: CFT and Marauders. The gun belt needs some adjustment and work as we never carried the night stick on it but do have the ASP instead. Also the mag pouch should...

Turtle soup, anyone?

Agent “Peach” from the Mushroom organization, an international group dedicated to the eradication of snapping turtles and other chaos and mayhem…

Wish I lived close enough to attend.

I know the pain, I have put 3500 clams into my hvac system in the last couple years and I really don’t have a choice living in hot and humid Virginia. We can be as bad as Louisiana at times.

That’s far better than the original pilots. I love the Marauders figures and accessories. Did you paint the helmet or is that a decal?

It just looks small beside my Little Bird helicopter. I’m using suspension of disbelief and imagine it’s a prototype designed to be a mini-Apache for sale to organizations such as mine 😉

Another helicopter added to the force. This isn’t a true 1/18 scale by a couple miles but I got this GI Joe figure to fit comfortably in the pilot seat with the canopy closed so that is a win. It apparently was designed to catch Godzilla in a movie from the 1990’s and includes a weighted net...
