Wait. If you are Hannibal Smith, that would make me B A Baracus. I'm too white for that, fool.. And Andy is Face Man? We know who is Murdoch
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Thanks but I'm going to try and get a full set of data/info plates to replace all of them. Unfortunately the fellow who runs the site is laid up with a couple of broken legs at the moment. I'll make due until he can hobble around to his storage area.You want a teeny tiny little dataplate for it with the same info as your full-size one?
spot diameter of the laser is about .003" when focused. So it's got the resolution to do it, I think.

Didn't catch that. It'd have to be on tinfoil to be thin enough.Now THAT I want to see!
Mark, he was talking about making teeny data plates for your model.
Cheers
That sounds like contracting:Well I guess when the blaster said "Friday" they didn't specify which Friday. It seemed they certainly implied today but I wasn't really expecting it would be done today. Oh well I was able to drop off the ammo can rack to be blasted too.
I could spray paint a piece of tinfoil black and then laser it.Didn't catch that. It'd have to be on tinfoil to be thin enough.
Worth a shot. The decal is 3/8" wide by just under 1/4" tall. You have the dimensions of the actual plate so between those numbers you should be able to scale it pretty close. Not sure my eyes will be good enough to place it without the use of the Hubbell Telescope though.I could spray paint a piece of tinfoil black and then laser it.
UPS man brought 3 different packages. First 2 were Goat parts and the 3rd was a M561 model by Tamiya.
Amazing to me that there is an aftermarket in accessory parts for scale models of the Gama Goat:Here's something else that came in the mail today. It's a resin Stowage Kit for the M561 model. Has lots of extras like C-rat cases, ruck sacks, ammo cans, etc. This is the 1st thing of it's kind I've seen before and it's going to take a LOT of trimming with the Dremel to get the casting parts off of it. Some of them are bigger than the part itself.
Tamiya also makes a M792 Ambulance kit too.Amazing to me that there is an aftermarket in accessory parts for scale models of the Gama Goat:
- Enough to justify a third party manufacturer to produce and package a "baggage" accessory kit.
That's pretty cool!

Oh I got it; maybe I was mistaken:Tamiya also makes a M792 Ambulance kit too.
The stowage kit is by a 3rd party (the reason there's so much crap to be trimmed). What I meant is that Tamiya also makes a seperate M792 Ambulance kit that is different than the M561 kit. They just introduced them a couple of years ago so it is pretty amazing that after market vendors have stuff out for them.Oh I got it; maybe I was mistaken:
- I thought the accessory kit was by a third-party maufacturerer (looked like it was some operation called "Legend" by the packaging).
Ok, enough on play goats. Not to be out done, I got myself TWO goats. Unfortunately they are only 4x4 and don't have Detroit Diesels. But they have a taste for oak leaves, specifically Live Oak leaves which we have plenty of this time of year ( Live Oaks shed their leaves in the spring, keeping leaves throughout the winter). Six month old kids, already snipped. Wife wanted more pets, my friend had the pair which were orphaned by an irresponsible mother.

7 canines, 3 equines, 40+ chickens, 2 felines and 1 Lagomorpha. Now two goats.Good grief, how many animals do you have now?
