Roger got a job doing Border patrol stuff then vanished again. Hopefully he got a GF and that is taking up his time but he stopped posting around the same time. Roy got busy renovating his home and visiting relatives. He checks in fairly often now though.  The CAg has been on secret missions which have taken him to Normandy and various Air Bases as he is a hot commodity. His Secret workshop suffered some damage when attacked by covert agents disguised as French Maids He got the jump on them when he spottted excessive leg hair thru the fishnets. He has been rebuilding and will be back in action soon hopefully.

Thank you Frank!! Still have the vent tube(?) that sits horizontally across the panel just above where the stick goes through the IP. There is a PE bit for that, but looking at ref pics, I think it would look better with the appropriatly sized stretched sprue, or tubing of some kind or t'other. Thanks for looking!! This built up IP was easier than I thought it was going to be.

 197 tanks/ vehicles at last count.

 But the bench is ready for some Swordfish work at last!!!!!

 Well ya see that is a very interesting story actually. Blush [:I] I had been sent all these nurses to help with my bad back.

 

So a friend had arranged a nice party to make me feel... um....better.

Have you seen this boy!?

The police security warned us to be on the lookout for this notorious party crasher!

The who's who of celebriety was there!

well as you can imagine the crowd got a little wild. Frank had to protect himself from flying hair more than once!

Guy just got plain wasted!

 The Cag decided that a Star Wars theme was appropriate for the ladies!

 Thats when all heck broke loose!

Guys Elfs ran for cover!

or was it the covers?

People panicked and grabed guns even!

There he was in the flesh!!!!

 Heck even Capt Roy had another drink to face the horror!

Wonder Woman passed clean out!

I had to take matters into my own hands! The pandamonium was outta control!

The XO was speechless!

Sean was preturbed!

Raquel jumped outta the pool!

Life guards were called in to save Lewbud and Johnny!

still the terror raged in fury!

All because Nam had lost his shorts in the pool!

 He claimed to have been "pants" by two unidentified thugs?

but the truth came out in the end!  Apparently Sharon Stone and Nammy were playing Buck Rogers  and he wore the wrong color underwear thinking she meant Flash Gordon. Well you all know Sharon she threw one of her fits and poor Nam ended up running off in the buff!

 And that my friends is the short story of how Nammy's  Flash Gordon undies ended up in my possession. Make a Toast [#toast]
