Cow tipping is where ya combine lots of your favorite beer... and go out in the fields about 2am and tips over the cows while they are sleeping... in the morning you get to drive by slowly and watch em all frantically trying to get up... they don't understand how they went to sleep one way and woke up all sideways... ---Tom--- O' brave new world, That has such people in it! Reply tweety1 Member since August 2003 From: Alice Springs Australia Posted by tweety1 on Sunday, December 12, 2004 8:45 AM We heard about that from one of our American friends here, and thought it would be funny to try. Problem struck when we went to one of the stations round here, and found the grumpiest Brahman bull that ever existed. I don't advise trying to tip 500 kilos of angry beef. It generates some really bad karma!!! --Sean-- If you are driving at the speed of light and you turn on the headlights, what happens???

Reply tho9900 Member since July 2004 From: SETX. USA Posted by tho9900 on Monday, December 13, 2004 6:07 AM Yeah bulls are a little more than I would wanna mess with... I grew up in the country so have seen a few angry bulls and know better... I had to laugh at the intelligence comparison Tweety... thats a classic! ---Tom--- O' brave new world, That has such people in it!

Yep looks like were definatly MENTAL Reply Edit tweety1 Member since August 2003 From: Alice Springs Australia Posted by tweety1 on Monday, December 13, 2004 8:48 AM Well, back too modelling Did the exhaust and gun stains tonight, that took a LONG time. Tamiya smoke as the base, then a light dusting of pastels. After that a little 'dirt' and some oil leaks, cause 109's leaked oil like hippy vans! Can't wait to finish this thing, been going WAY too long. Back too bovine stories I remember me and a friend intentionally giving this one bull the ss too see how agro we could make him. He was only a small one, round 300 kilos. I had no idea they could run so fast! He looked so placid, standing there chewing his, well y'know. Next thing he's right up our clacker frothing at the mouth and stuff! We ate him 6 months later, he wasn't so tough then!!!!!!! --Sean-- If you are driving at the speed of light and you turn on the headlights, what happens??? Reply tho9900 Member since July 2004 From: SETX. USA Posted by tho9900 on Monday, December 13, 2004 7:46 PM Well I finally got something done on the Widgeon last night.. mated the hull and was surprised at what I thought was going to be a nasty fill job (1970's or earleir Airfix kit) mated right up after some ambroids softened the edges of the halves... just two little spots I had to putty... gonna sand them in a bit and will probably be in a painting stage by Mon... I have 2 weeks off starting next monday. The wife is going to visit some relatives on Fri night not coming back till Mon night so that is PLENTY of time to finish my Naval Aviation piece... the SBD is just waiting on paint and final assembly (gear, bombs etc..) I wanna do this one right as I plan to give it to my dad for Xmas... it's a USCG search and rescue aircraft, circa 1940ish I believe... going have a go with the Alcad on this one too... wanna get it spiffy looking. Gotta find some chrome yellow for the wings, if I have to I'll use insignia yellow, dad won't know the difference (but *I* will ) There is no interior detail to speak off... no seats, no instrument panel etc... but the windows are so thick you couldnt see inside even if there were some.. it's one of the inly games around for coast guard stuff really... that or the Trumpeter HH-65 chopper with the canopy split vertically down the middle (I hate that kit but one day I will finish it then go burn it) Anyway... looking forward to some uninterrupted modeling this weekend!!! Tweety... seen the same thing happen.. . some of the guys messing around with a bull then you find out the do 0-60 in 4.5 seconds! not a fun feeling being in front of those horns!!! Specially them longhorns!!! ---Tom--- O' brave new world, That has such people in it! Reply tweety1 Member since August 2003 From: Alice Springs Australia Posted by tweety1 on Wednesday, December 15, 2004 7:44 AM Yeah, I can never work out why Nature would make a bovine with horns that big Not only is it impractical, but it just looks silly. Anyways, Friday night is the time I have set myself for finishing my 109. Couple of other things have taken the last 2 nights away from me, but managed to get the oil stains done, now it's some light dusting, ass'y of the canopy, and thats it. Oh, and lucky me, I lost one of the balancers for the flaps being so small I have no hope of finding it on the carpet, so will worry bout it later. Friday, complete with pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! --Sean-- If you are driving at the speed of light and you turn on the headlights, what happens??? Reply Anonymous Member since November 2005 Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, December 16, 2004 3:14 AM It's OK Tweets i lost one on my E-4, and then i accidently broke the other one off when i was taking a pic Reply Edit tweety1 Member since August 2003 From: Alice Springs Australia Posted by tweety1 on Thursday, December 16, 2004 3:20 AM It is a bummer, but so be it. Actually, I'm gonna try and finish tonight, so hopefully have some pics up by the morning. Or I may completely stuff it up and have pic of a crashed 109 by the morning, it can go either way atm. --Sean-- If you are driving at the speed of light and you turn on the headlights, what happens???

Reply tweety1 Member since August 2003 From: Alice Springs Australia Posted by tweety1 on Friday, December 17, 2004 11:58 PM FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Trying to get some good pics is difficult, I don't have any real lighting to take advantage of for pics, so have to make do with ambient lighting, but it'll give ya the general idea. This is White 5 of JG 53, 1945. Any thoughts or ideas, positive OR negative would be muchly appreciated.

Most days I'm fine Tom, but when you lose bits to the carpet monster, well, the wheels fall off the wagon Between you, me, and the fence post, it's the only reason I stick with modelling.

USA Posted by tho9900 on Saturday, December 18, 2004 7:50 PM Well...... to be honest Geoff... it's ugly... really really ugly... hahaha but I always thought those Marders were... ! Good job! I like the camo netting you added... I can imagine that barrel slowly rising waiting to let loose with that killer cannon! To be honest I am not an armor person but I almost picked up a Marder today.. in fact I might still... of course the Hobby Lobby 40% sale ended today but oh well... I was there and not only did they have the H and M versions of the Marder III both by Taimya, they had the brass casings and 7.5 cm shells, ammo boxes, jerry cans, etc... etc.. etc... could have a complete dio worth of stuff for pretty cheap!!! But alas I digress... great job! I am almost finished with my SBD so can get working on my Widgeon for this build... might pull a fast one and forget the Widgeon and try to get something in during Jan.. the BoB GB starts then but I can work something in during the meantime, I have till May to finish it.. the holidays are just too cramped for time!!! ---Tom--- O' brave new world, That has such people in it!
