--<DIV></DIV>Originally posted by Jolly-RogerNow as you all know Steve is mad keen on model diggers with Caterpillars being one of his particular favourites, but there is one model he keeps very secret and hasn't told you about. He actually uses it to construct his dioramas and I've been trying to get him to show us his pictures of him using it.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>He was trying to keep thisto himself but I felt I just had to let the CAT out of the bag.</DIV>
<DIV>
</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Before Steve had the above he also had a CAT on wheels</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>

<DIV>The story dosn't endhere either. He has a few others he really would prefer you not to know about. But I have the photos to prove it and will be posting them later.</DIV>

--Contacted Herpa re a model 1/87 car, the rubber tyre perished, ruining my Ford Taunus, so they emailed me back saying replacement parts on way,
point being customer service is great from them
Thanks Mark for email addy mate, a huge help

--It appears the 'Big Anouncement' from Gemini turned out to be R/C after all. Not something i personally will be getting into, but i'm sure it will appeal to some and i wish GJ all the best with their new venture.( Pity they did'nt use the money to make a new B757 mould.)MartinComment
-
--Indeed Martin, agreed
A Royal Brunei 757 would be my choice, catered em a heap of times and crews were brilliant
some really great memories from 1989
One fantastic looking scheme too

--The link to the GJs r/c page does not show the Delta 777 which is probably still being developed. But it looked a pretty neat piece of kit with nothing to make you think it was r/c when it was just sitting on the ground. Would like to know what power units it has and what type of batteries fuel them. Gues we'll have to wait a while for it to appear on their catalogue.Originally posted by amesmjMikeComment

Steve good to hear about your tires from Herpa. Glad to have helped you out. As for the GJ big announcement to me it was rather disappointing. Not quite sure how that will work. Wish them all the best with it.Comment

--Yeah I wasnt expecting that to be the announcement too.... see how this venture unfolds for GJ.Originally posted by Aviation Delight
Be interesting to see if they were to do 747s and A380s.

Or an An225[img]smileys/smiley16.gif[/img] though doubt it would get of the ground easily!
Just scored today three Aeroclassics TAM babybuses (A319, A320 and A321) current livery on Ebay for AU$12 each. Shipping all up is $15, total AU$51, thats about $17 a pop....bargain! I've been looking for a TAM Brazil bird for a while, but never thought id be lucky to score these this cheap! [img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]

What surprised me was the fact that Gemini thought the diecast community would be really wetting their pants over this announcement. The RC community maybe...
Eh, I'm finding it harder and harder to get enthused over Gemini's monthly releases as well.
Not that I'm bitter that Gemini won't even take a 'risk' with Air New Zealand 733 & AT7 releases... [img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]

<div>Hit a southern SAFWAA dam last arvo, looking for my first club rainbow.</div><div>
</div><div>I was greeted with this when I first got there.</div><div>
</div><div>(Not the best sight to greet you :P)</div><div>
</div><div>Anyway I sent out a bait rod while flicking lures for not a touch for a while. Then after I switched to a spinner, I started noticed a few rises and jumps. A trout jumped fairly close in to the shore, I flicked the spinner about a metre to the left and a metre further out past the trout. Halfway back to shore the spinner got crunched and I landed this lively rainbow(my first club rainbow and my 1st rainbow landed since May 2011.)</div><div>
</div><div>
</div><div>
</div><div>After swimming it for a minute or so(getting water back into its gills), it swam off nonchalantly.</div><div>
</div><div>
</div><div>
</div><div>
</div><div>I saw several other rises and jumps, I should have taken my fly rod instead of a bait rod. The bait didn't even get touched.</div>Comment
