-
all three that I have. my new katana is going to cost me close to $600. FS
-
oh, ok, cool. couldn't remember for the life of me where it came from. i was getting my Master Replica lightsabers out to check them to sell them, when I saw this. It looks so cool, I wonder why I shoved it in the back. oh yea, to display my Yamato 1/48s. nah, not thinking of getting rid of it yet, I was getting rid of the sabers to pay for another katana. maybe i'll think again once i find out what it's going to cost to remodel my bathroom. eek.

it was sitting in the back of my cabinet. i think it's chrome colored? my digicam is busted (my baby dropped it and it has e:61:00 error, which I think is a focusing problem, because the dang thing won't focus) i took a pic with my digital voice recorder. sorry for the crappy pic. it says © 2003 Gentle Giant Studios 0721 of 4000

do you have to have a store to get that 10 cent listing? i've been waiting forever for ebay to let me know i can have cheap listings so i can auction some stuff off. i'm sure pretty soon, valktronics will have those auctions changed into something else soon.

I voted not likely, personally, if they were going to do more VF-1 toys, I'd really, REALLY, really like a TV VF-1A Max. I'd like to see some CFs as well.

ouch! man, what were the first editions going for?
-
hmmm....the least they could have done was take a final production picture for the box, look at that blue canopy! variant??? hmmm, after #3000, we started wearing gloves, no more fingerprints!

i think the president of, what is it, Miramax? said he was going to release so many many different sets just to make money. when I read that somewhere, I said, pah, i ain't buying crap and i didn't even bother watching the last movie. now, on the other hand, i will wait to buy the extended set of Return of the King.
-
here's the (not yet finished) PG 1/60 next to the Arch Enemy 1/?? sorry, i just yanked both out of the curio cabinet, threw them on the table, snapped the photo, and put them back. no fancy pose. now, it's off to bed
-
when i get home tomorrow morning, i'll post a pic of my partially completed 1/60 Wing 0. OT, but anyone know the scale of the Arch Enemy figures?

I have a set of the maritime cups that i bought just to have some, but i would never do it or even try, my partner is going on vacation later this summer and wanted me to modify his old Glock 17 and purchase him some ammo with waterproof primers so he can take it diving with him. what he plans on running into underwater, i don't know, but i told him i wouldn't do it, but i was curious to know if anyone knew anyone that has ever did this.
-
it wasn't worth it, seems whoever had it destroyed it before it got turned it, the mags are fine, so I kept them. Now I've got to decide when I can afford to get one. I've got the HK P2000 subcompact to get when it comes out in .357 SIG, and I've got one more sword to buy (which is going to cost more than a new P7!)

i have factory 31 rd mags for my Glock. I had a Scherer mag, but I just got not get it to work right. the original spring was all rusty and bent funny, so i put a new spring in it (with the backup springs i bought for the factory mags), and it still wouldn't feed right, i put a new follower in it, and i had less problems, but i still had problems no matter what type of ammo i used. it would alsos stop feeding after 20 rounds. i'm not too worried about getting the followers, just on one of the mags, it doesn't lock the slide back anymore, but i rarely shoot this anymore since I got the .357s. My brother is thinking of buying my 19 off me, but then I will probably get a 26 since I have to keep all my hi-cap mags since I can't give them to him, except for the 19 rd preban (17+2baseplate). Ammo that stinks, haha, that's funny. Guess I will stay away from them. and yes, i too think glocks are kinda ugly, someone on my department once said, it's like looking over the side of a garbage can when i'm shooting. but so far, we've had no explosions using our reloads. the only problem we had is some knucklehead breaking the recoil rod. crap, gotta go get lunch for the family since there is nothing in the fridge, see ya all later. it's always something when i'm on here, i think my wife is going to try to prevent me from going to any website with macross in it's name.

85? maybe that's why you lucked out, it was an older Taurus. When did Taurus buy that factory from Beretta? anyone? My Taurus was from, hmmm...I used it in the academy, must be 1997 when I got it. I kept getting dirt in the big hole of the safety lever, and my red dot on my safety fell out. My adjustable sights would adjust themselves all day long, it got so bad, I just point shooted my way through the firearms course. Got so good at it, I actually won Top Gun in that class. I used to have 18 rd Ram Line mags, they didn't work too well. I wonder if Beretta mags will fit your old Taurus? Can you buy new springs from Taurus? Then again, try to use Taurus' Lifetime Warranty, tell them your springs are going and you need new ones, doesn't hurt to try. Anyone know if I can still get the old Glock 9mm followers for hi-cap mags for my prebans? I think they say 9mm3 on them. Anyone seen anyone shooting a Glock underwater? Or know where I can find some vids? I have the maritime cups for my Glock, but I refuse to even try it since I have absolutely no idea what I am doing. And I think some people at the beach wouldn't like it either. I don't recommend anyone trying this.

what's up with the Wolf ammo? we were told not to shoot it through our Glocks by someone when we were in Armorer's School, but I never had a chance to ask why. Is it because Wolf ammo is made for, I dunno, desert use, or firing from open bolts?
-
forgot to mention, my duty mags in the Glock have extra power springs. guess that's not factory. i did add +2 baseplates to all of them, hence the extra power springs, come to think of it, all my Glock mags (except the 10 rounders, 19 rounder and 31 rounders) have extra power springs + extended baseplates. Guess that's not really factory, but the 31 rounders perform flawlessly. wish the dept. would let me get the FSSG mod for it. any shoot S&W's .500 Magnum yet? Also, what's everyone carrying these days in their guns? I wanted to carry a full mag of rubber bullets in my Glock 19 so if someone started running from me, I could just shoot a full mag of rubber bullets at them to slow them down, I was told no, we're getting TASERs soon. Whatever, I still think it would be more fun with rubber bullets. Remember, if you make the popo come and get you, we're bringing an ass kicking with us. Also, what's everyone carrying these days in their guns? at work, I carry: 1 mag (the one in the gun) of Black Talon (we're almost out of this, the dept. stockpiled this ammo back in the day, but it's running out now). 1 mag staggered with Federal HydraShok (180 gr) and Federal HST (165 gr) 1 mag staggered with Winchester Ranger SXT (180 gr) and Federal HST (165 gr). that's all the dept. allows us to carry on our duty stuff. with our back-ups, it's got to be something commerically available if our dept. doesn't supply it, no homemade stuff. my .357 SIG ammo is all Corbon ammo, 115 gr. my 9mm ammo is a mixture of Aguila, Federal Hydrashok +P+ (124 gr), Corbons, and some leftover Black Talons. i really want to try taking some 9mm Aguila rounds, removing the bullet, and reloading it in .357 SIG to see what type of velocities I could get...

i've had my 31 round mags for my Glock 19 loaded for 9 months now, I just shot them off today to vent some anger (tomorrow, I'm going to try out my new wakizashi on some mats with pictures of all my supervisors on them), and I had absolutely no feeding problems. my 15 + 2 mags have been loaded for a year, shot no problems, my 17+2 mag, fully loaded for 6 months, no probs. I use my 10 round mags for practice and qualification since we are only required to have 6 rounds, and I don't care if i dump these mags all over the place. the 10 rounders are my dedicated range mags. Now, the Scherer aftermarket 33 rnd mag I had was a piece of crap, i even put a new spring and follower in it and it still jammed all the time. i got rid of that within a month. my HK mags (12 rnds) have been fully loaded for over a year, I shot them all off today too with no problems. My duty mags on my Glock 22 have been fully loaded since January and all shot fine today as well. Now the battery on the laser is dead... I didn't shoot the 33s since I started running low on .357 ammo. gotta tell the dept. to order me some more. The only problems I had were some rounds not shooting because we are using lead-free CHEAP reloads where the primers sometimes need to be hit twice, but we can't do that with a Glock, so out they go. But that's not a mag problem, so as far as I'm concerned, factory mags work fine. My first guns were a Taurus PT-99 and Beretta 92F. The Taurus was basically a piece of crap, liked the Beretta much better. Got rid of both of them when I bought my Glock 19.

Spider-Man 2 review! (spoiler free)
Chowser replied to Zeta Otaku's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
took the night off work to go watch the movie! it was the highlight to my day! made up for getting passed over for the db because i was told that i took too much of my earned time off and that i have an attitude sometimes. well, hey, look, i'm taking tonight off because this place sucks and i'm gonna go watch a movie! movie kicked a$$! wonder how much Tobey's gonna ask for part 3. -
-
me too, but it's a bit expensive, but I think Vermillion One is selling his custom 1/48 Max 1S with fast packs. But I just spent $600 on a wakizashi, so my funds are a little low or else I would just buy it from him as well as his Hikaru 1S, so I can have my 3 1S Fleet. wonder if he would sell them without the fast packs...
-
heh, Max was the only one that didn't have fast packs on, so until i dig out my cannon fodder out of the basement, he's got to wear it. it was just a head from a Focker that I transplanted and painted the arrows blue. and just removed the 013 off the wing and stuck an 001 sticker on it. i ended up putting a black heatshield on him later instead of the blue. i had some pics up at valkyrie hanger, let me find the link, he's got all sorts of people's customs there. oh well, site's been deactivated, hopefully someone finds the owner and tells him to reactivate it. here's some pics of it if you want to see: Max-1S

I currently carry a Glock 19 and HK USP Compact in .357 SIG as backups when I am working. One on each side of my vest. off duty, I carry two Glock 33s in .357 SIG. i usually carry these in either a dual shoulder-rig or in two fobus paddle holsters. I am looking into getting the HK P2000 subcompact in .357 SIG when it comes out.
-
haha, that's what I do all the time, look, i traded something for this. even though, the collection isn't getting smaller. i think she's starting to count how many things i have, either that, or she is actually moving stuff around when she's dusting. i just use a can of compressed air from time to time to blow any dust away.
