My local club had a buold theme one month, it was "towed Artillery".
So sue me, nobody sent me an email, I only heard them say it out loud. Is it my fault I didn't know they meant "towed", and not....

TOAD?

:)

BTW, several club members were unamused that their wonderful Flak 88s and such were totally ignored once my stupid model showed up. Oh darn.

Very funny.  My question is, where are the rounds loaded into the breech?   :o

my wife is asking if you did the alternative  that fired toads at the opposition?
the things you learn, give your mind the wings to fly, and the chains to hold yourself steady
take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances.

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Is it scary that the first thing I thought of matched what you made?

Wow...that's much better done than mine. Whoever did that is a skilled punster, and a magnificant modeller as well.

I'll bet the guy who announces the themed builds in your club sits up into the small hours the night before writing and re-writing what he's going to say to avoid any possible pun. Do you find he's talking to the rest of the club but watching you constantly out of the corner of his eye?  ;D
