I think the'' what if'' stuff is great. You should be proud of all your builds as they look great. I for one would like to see the one you called a goof ball. If it's up to your normal standard then I'm sure no one will be to hard on you. Keep up the great work.

OK....... I will post a photo of my ''goof ball'' project this afternoon to satisfy the mystery for you and BiggTony. It's really silly...........however, the neat thing about being an old coot and village idiot is.......I don't care about whether or not I look like a fool. If ya have a big laugh, or even just a medium giggle, be my guest. Laughing is good.[sm=bananahead.gif]


This is embarrassing, but here's my "Goof Ball" build.

Years ago, I was trying to decided whether to join an R/C tank club or an R/C ship club. I couldn't afford to do both, so I thought of this compromise.

The tank hull is one of those Chicago International Abrams tanks that was fast enough to pop wheelies. A real good cat chaser. The PBR was scratchbuilt on a $20 Toys R Us R/C hull that comes real close to the PBR hull shape. The top parts are all scratchbuilt and are somewhere between 1/16 and 1/20, take yer pick. But it is R/C and runs well in water.

For some strange reason, neither club invited me to join their group.
