Default silly movie as methaphor...

I see this movie as a metaphor for the Germans first winter in Russia. Perhaps some of you will too...

The snow was great, the tank ran, well like a Tiger.

Some of you will wonder whereis the smoke bomb.It's in a new, improved, Bubba Delux housing,and here is a hint of it in the next movie. That movie isnot put together yet...

As you can see it's one fin short of a full rocket, but then so am I.

It's what I would listen to while I invaded Russia. 

If I was that crazy.

Got the Tiger back to the shop and it seems I did trash those nice adjustable idler mounts.



Broke one axle off even with my extra cool,homemade spring set-up. Ice is tough stuff.



Snaped right off at the barering.

Neat video. What scared your TC"s hair to turn white? Song was very appropriate. Maybe the added weight of the camera was too much for the idler?

Hope you keep posting.

This is the "other cat" out in the snow that day.



I tracked him a couple hundred meters with the Jagdpanther before he went on a neighbors place and I had to turn back.

Gosh, I didn't want to make any body upset!?!



Is it the music or the content?



WOW... I got a movie that is banned in Canada... WOW... it's like ... big time...



I could do a copy with no music... if that would help.

Oh, it's not your fault. As I understand it, Warner music & Youtube have had some disagreements in the past, so Warner swings the hammer sometimes hehe. I love your movies btw.

Well this one should get through to Canada.  U-tube said Germany is blocked for this one.

I'm learning.

In the first movie I showed the tripod set-up used. I've learned that it was blocked outside the US cause someone "owns" the music.

I wanted to show how I made the movies cause someone asked for a picture of the tripod set up once. It's high tech but I think most of you all can do it. I can do a "tripod attachment build thread" if nessary. I have enough beer to make it happen.

Pah co chu puk:

Did you leave any tape on the roll, man? Honestly... thats a lotta tape...

Now me, I've got one of those light dollar-store tripods... straight extendable legs, light build, but it has a decent locking ball-head. Pull the rubber feet on ends of the legs, and put hollow wall fasteners in there, and you'd have three removable bolts to attach the 'pod' to the tank. Heck... I can think of a few ways in this short time to make clamps that would attach to the bolts, and make it attachable to almost any tank...

Someone want me to do a 'How-To - Dollar Store Style' on this item? I can even put my Fuji FE-180 on the pod to show a cam up there.

Heck, it might even give me incentive to post the same over on the Instructables site... (they got lots of odd, neat and 'Why Dinna I Think Of That...' items (like triangle paper-clip/clamps to hold cables up beside your desk, a dab of correction fluid or tape-markers to show where connectors/buttons are on the sides of your laptop, home-made elevated laptop mounts - with or without cooling fans! etc...)
