Frenchy, Yes, very interesting.... However, one of the reason we have a news section, is so that interesting items like this can be posted up. The forums are NOT for news stories, no more than they exist for reviews. If you want to publicize this kind of thing we will be delighted to post it up in the news section. Sorry for being so 'difficult' about this, but its better stories like this stay in the archives and not get 'lost' in the forums...Jim

D'OH ! Please accept my apologies...Too much haste and not enough reflection ! I hope I will not be compelled to change my callsign to post in the future

To Staff Jim : maybe you add a "blushing" emoticon to the list.....

Frenchy,

I decided to put this as a News story on the main page anyway - I hope Jim will agree that this information is worth it. I will just skip usuall "NEWS" post on the forum, a your post already did this job

Link to news story (with photos).

EDIT: Someone added Frenchy's news story shortly after I added mine - I had to remove the later news post. Sorry about that -obviously we were working at the same time, I just finished earlier...

How much would this cost in US dollars.How long till it could be shipped to USA.

I have had a half together hummer waiting for something like this to come along.

WOOOOOW

Now I can do my first dio. Just a hummer with all this extra stuff in front of a Iraq building.With some extra civilian arabs out front from VLS.

THANK YOU


Happy Modeling

That someone was me - but no harm and no foul. I'm glad you added images to the News Article before I got a hold of some...

Frenchy, I'm not angry at you, you did a first-class job in finding it... Next time (as you obviously have a talent for it) put the damn story in the news section!!!! Thanks, Jim

Actually images had to be removed for now - I was too quick to add them before we got confirmation from Blast that they agree to that. Pics may be back, but for now it is text only again...
