harv Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 We have been dealing with thunderstorms, rain and wind off and on for a week now....harv 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Yeah, this one rolled in fast. It was bad enough that we even got warnings on our cell phone about it maybe 10 minutes before it hit. Sue and I were out walking and just made it home. Unfortunately 2 people were killed by falling trees during the storm. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harv Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 On the lake where we live, it seems the hills, trees and lake itself hamper the storms abit. But we have had sevrral inches of rain We have unbelievable amountsof lightning. Some of the storms had gusts up to 40 mph. Some areasaround us have had damage from the wind....harv 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_S Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Did it come in over the lake, Carl? If so, it's the same one we got last night... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I'm not sure Bill. Probably, as it came in from the west of us and ended up running right across the province into Quebec. They're now saying it caused 5 fatalities in both provinces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GusMac Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 BBC news just showed some phone footage from Ontario Carl and it looked apocalyptic. Glad only your fence took a hit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belugawhaleman Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 New today from Tamiya ; their MATILDA MK.III/IV "RED ARMY" (35355) I remember their earlier 1970's Matilda release which I built while recovering from back surgery while in college. I think there were some scale issues with it or something but it seemed fine with me. This re-tooled version looks pretty good. I chose this version for the workable tracks. I didn't know the "Reds" used Matildas honestly. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocRob Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Today, this beauty arrived. It's a reedition of the Tamiya Renault RE20, which originally appeared 1981 on the market. My edition has Cartograph decals and luckily there is no tobacco ad missing, cause there were none. No decals for the tire markings are included, but they are engraved on the rubber tires, same as with the Brabham kit. Plastic looks fine in the box. I'm not the biggest fan of these turbo charged monsters, but these LS Tamiya kits are too good to let them pass. They will release two more Tyrells soon, one is the six wheeler. I'm eagerly waiting for a re edition of a McLaren MP4, 5 or 6 in 1/12. The second hand prices for these are crazy. Cheers Rob 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the opposite Rob and a huge fan of that era of turbocharged 'loony' cars. Just crazy power with the ground effect made for far more interesting racing than you get now. Haven't watched F1 for 10 years as I just got totally turned off by the contrivance and artificiality of it, plus the lack of actual racing! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My on line vendor has not received their shipment yet and I'm on the list for one. Looking forward to you starting one of your Tamiya 1/12 scale kits. I still have my Ferrari 312T to finish yet.

Bill_S Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Just got these in the mail. If I'm going to build a Tomcat, it has to be a high visibility scheme. What a colorful bird! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do get one, check out the Top Studio detail sets for the kit. They are mind blowing. But are easily double the price of the kit. Model Factory Hiro does the MP4/4 in 1/12. It has working pistons. You can even get the engine as a separate kit from them. Carl 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Carl, I know about all these, but I feel myself not ready for a MFH kit and if I am, i guess it will be an vintage Alfa with spokes. I hope for a Tamiya reissue of the MP4/6, because I'm not willing to pay the crazy prizes for the kit. Top Studio sets are indeed super detailed, so maybe some of them will be considered, but not all, having a price tag of 400 Euro for the all inclusive set.

BlrwestSiR Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Finally got my Cheetah conversion from Scaleworx. Took a while but it's not like I was worried the stash was going to run out. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John is about to release a full resin kit of the Mirage F1 which is also mighty tempting. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
