airgun parts

Started this a couple of weeks back. Phil [Vac-U-Boat] gives you a very comprehensive kit that is well designed and a WHOLE LOTTA FUN to build! a friend who just started in the hobby wants one too, he actually wants my boat,,, but uh,,,it's not FOR SALE!.

Current aquatic builds include; A MidWest Patriot Fireboat also presently being built, Graupner Pollux , Springer tug in the very "wee!" stages of build/design.I want the upper deck to look like a German"Sturmtiger" tank !

Future aquatic builds I would like to do; Stern Trawler using a 22" MicroGlass Maine Lobster hull and a 50' Steam Picket boat also using a 18 3/4" hull from the same company.12/712,,,maybe Momma will let me put these under the tree,,,maybe.

Yeah,,,even though its still in the 90's here colder weather is around the corner,,of course depending on Texas weather , those of us whom live here knows how that goes!?! Many of these projects will be done and ready by next spring....Continue Reading

Here are my Lunchbox [Re-release I bought] and what I believe to be a original Midnite Pumpkin [got in a trade] by Tamiya.I still have the plastic body for the L-box,may go with a EMS scheme like "Mother Jugs & Speed" or "Cannonball Run".Its wearin' a Parma body that can keeps takin' a beatin'.

My ?? yr old [??] Old MRP Pantera,made a rear wing sort'a like the older MRP Americana.Still runs occassionally at the local pond,not fast but fun.

Well,,,decided to keep the TA 02W for myself [for now but who knows?] and do a teardown/rebuild,it kind'a belonged to my eldest who'se wanting a TT01 Enzo.The Ta 02W did'nt need much but a little scrubbin' and some xtra grease in the gear box's and maybe a newer body.

Heres my RJ Speed Sprinter:Take off electronics from my HPI Blitz [sold].Loves to chunk the right rear tire bu then te pavement I've been running on feel like HD sandpaper,,,kind'a worry's me watchin' the kids ride their bikes on the stuff....Continue Reading

Airgun project
Update [5/13/10] 2260 based pistol project
So far RJMachine Breech full dovetail [.22cal], Bluefork frame w/Hogue grip,B&A 12g Bossvalve,RBgrips long 2260 forarm blk/blk laminate.Went ahead and bought a Crosman band [Steel].I may pull the Bushnell Rdot from my Sig 522 for this unit rather than open sight. Still considering going PCP,just need to find a tank w/accessories at a reasonable price. Oh well,,,fun,fun,dun.

Picked up a Crosman SSP 250 from forum member Chads,definetly a excellent shooter with power.So far installed a ACcustoms.com trigger spring w/guide and a Williams notch sight for now,may go with a Blueforkdesigns.us steel F/O rear sight in the future.I was looking for one of these for awhile not collector grade but a decent shooter to have fun with,this fits the bill perfectly!Chads let this go at a sweet price and and did a excellent job in packing it for quick delivery,I couldnt ask for anything more and appreciate it immensely.
Ran some Crosman Premier wadcutters and pointed pellets to test functionality,seems to like both really well so far.Have some more pellets to go thru to find what it really likes.Penetration with pointed pellets at 5-8 yrds is very good as it punched the back out of a small paperback book,not scientific but will work on small vermin if needed.

Rc projects:
AX10 Xtrail STILL IN THE WORKS!! Just added Rcbros diff lockers but sold the RC4WD steelies and Rockstompers.Plan on using a set of Mayhem Engineering 1.9 Double Fatty's and some RoxLox's [just bought some!].Meh,,,,? Who knows.
as of 12/7/12,,,Oh My GAWD I'll never finish this THING ,,,,,.


Creeper lives up to its name.Only upgrades are a Novak 55T,Fut Hi Torq servo and a set of RCbros solid alloy diff lockers.Still not sure about the paint scheme [too late now!],looks too much like my CR01 which now wears the Dodge body.OK..now the Creep is wearing a tuber frame from TCS crawlers.

CR01 is pretty much stock 'cept the Novak 55T,3305 servo,Losi alloy shocks,STRC bumper brace and bottom chassis brace.Did wear a FJ body but now sports the Ramcharger

2.2 Tamiya Clod crawler/basher.
Locked clod axle via Tracgear delrin lockers
RC4WD upper post,axle C's and servo mount
Traxxas rims w/Imex Puller Dawgs
Reign Rc Rook chassis and RC4WD 55t motors
Just received some 5/16 and 3/8" Delrin rod to make links,,,,coming soon!...Continue Reading

Old 30+ something Tomica LandCruiser I had since a kid in Michigan. Mom like MB's and Tomica's due to the suspension or robustness of the cars. Been hitting FleaMarkets, Gsales, Craigslist and online forums replacing long lost old diecast friends. It's alot of fun trying to find that specific model I had, also other ones too.

Coupl'a restore and mild customs.Old flea market HW Stage Fright and a beater HW'er from the kids toybox.One Dremel,cheapy paint,JB Weld and a coupl'a donor/parts cars from the toybox junkyard makes for some lo-buck hotrod fun.

Updated my pic's, more MB's and others plus a Tomica Mercedes Gullwing I just received I've been on the hunt for! Long lost now replaced. Post a pic when it stops rainin'!...Continue Reading
