Wow! How did I miss this one??!

Robert, You, Me and Ike...It was Roast Beef and Potatos?? I thought it was Yorkshire Pudding and Tim's!! LOL (You'd had to been there!

And Chris, what do you mean "getting up there"?? I got up and went a long time ago!! LOL

Great job, guys.

Frosty, this kind of stuff is why your Mom won't let you post pictures of yourself. Be glad, be very glad!!

It was well worth the wait Sherm.

After being "off air" for a week I needed a good laugh.

By the way, was the pram built from a prototype of the "Pink Panzer"?

Happy Modelling

And I though this thread has died down. LOL.

I am just wondering if Dragon will ever release a kit of that orange thing and that tracked buba carriage. Ha-ha-ha.

Nice one, I mean three Sherm.

M1 good to have you back. Oh, but you did post a picture of yourself some time back. If I could remember the thread......anyway, until I figure it out so Shermie can tear you up, nice joke on him and Bill. Man those boys are reminding me of old Forrest Gump. Always popping up.

HYSTERICAL !

Great work Sherm,

I think you have a whole new line of vehicles

The "sherman-stroller"
"Herbie the SHERM-bug"
and The "Sherm-with camel"

Good stuff

Bill, Ike and myself go way back ..... he consulted us on all important decisions like waht was the best way to make roast beef !!!! English style of course we would answer .... with large portions of mashed potatoes and the all important Yorkshire Pudding. Ain't that right Bill.

Go ahead Chris ...... put your pic up.
Happy Modelling and God Bless Robert

sorry that the sizing isn't better, I was having trouble modifying it.

Erock, I could see you in a General Lee bro!! Big Smile [:D]

Man I wish they had them Sherman-strollers when my kids were born. I wonder if they make a Tiger-stroller? In panzergrey of course for my son. Tongue [:P]Tongue [:P]

Boy, age sure has caught up with poor Snoopy. Sad [:(]

Erock, nice Renault, hope you didn't pay too much. I reckon it doesn't come with seatbelts, because it only runs on a lawnmower engine. Black Eye [B)]

Well ladies and gentlemen ... I must beg your forgiveness for my tardiness in updating this thread. But the research on some of these guys can be very time consuming. Contacting family members, researching newspapers, checking criminal records ... you know ... all the usual stuff.

So without further adieu .... here's the first of three in a row for your viewing pleasure.

Most of us know Jeeves for his desire to be a pilot as seen in his picture here on the forum. Unfortunately, he never quite attained his dreams. The closest he came was in his role as a male model ..... Now ladies don't get excited here .... it was for a children's publication ...... Yes out own Jeeves was the body double for a famous character. Now this picture was extremely hard to obtain .... but after lengthy negotiations we do have permission to use it here.






Now on to victim member number 2 for today.

Erock Eric has a great love for NASCAR racing as we all saw in the picture with his daughter. This love for fast moving vehicles goes back to Eric's high school days when he used to race around the school property in his version of the Duke's of Hazard's General Lee. Now being a financially strapped student he really couldn't afford the Charger like they had .... but showing his scratchbuilding talents even at an early age .... he perservered.

So compliments of a family member, we have a picture of Eric in his pride and joy.




And for the final member tonight. We have big Bubba ... Erush ... Eric. Well we've seen the size of this big hog. It is a little known fact that he hasn't changed much through the years. Even at the tender age of 1, Eric was rather .... well ..... big., large, huge, gargantuan .... need I say more. Well Eric's family had to construct a very special carriage just to get the little (HA HA) fella around town. So using a little down south inginuity, some left over parts from the local army surplus store, and a can of spray paint ....... Eric rode around in comfort. Too bad they didn't have ultrasounds then though .... it seems Ma and Pa were expecting "Erica".

So thanks to Eric's Grannie (best go mow her lawn again Eric)
for supplying us with this pic.

I suppose I shouldn't let you guys in on the secret that my daughter is also somewhat on the Dark Side... she loves tanks and has driven (co driven) an M5A1... she's also 16 'Frosty'!
