[TANKS] unwanted help in the garage......
once fall arrives and it's too cold to use fiberglass resin in the garage i normally don't go back out there (unless i need the gas jugs or the snow blower) until spring. the other day i went out to get the snow blower and as i entered to doorway a few things looked out of place but since i'm not out there that often this time of year, i didn't too much of it, but as i took a few steps to the snow blower, things to my right didn't look right at all. on the radial arm saw table top is the upper half of the tiger (upside down) where i was working on sanding off the old paint to give it some fiberglass and resin. on the back side of the table top (behind the back stop) was were i left two small bags of grass seed but now i only saw part of one and trashed seed all over. it looks as if i have (at the very least) a mouse, or maybe a field rat. there were droppings all over the place. i didn't touch anything as i didn't want my scent to be on anything. this afternoon i'll be going out to the store and getting some boxes of poison food and a set of traps. i'll be placing some of it on the saw's table top as i expect it to be back up there feeding again. i haven't checked for any damage yet to anything from chewing/nawling, i'll do that after i take care of the critter(s) at hand. my other concern is, i have my car and truck out there and i know they love to live in vehicles, so i'll set some food and traps in them too. hopefully it'll just be a matter of taking out the dead (unwanted help), and cleaning things up without having to do any damage repair Chris -- -- You are currently subscribed to the R/C Tank Combat group.

[TANKS] Starting out.
Hello all, I have been planning to build a Japanese Type 97 Chi Ha Kai (and Type 95 Ha Go) for a long time now, and I am extremely happy that this project will finally be launched. First however, I have never built anything like this before (they will be made of metal) so I have decided to build some test chassis out of cold rolled steel. I am looking for a good suspension set up at the moment, something simple but efficient. Later will come the Bell Crank suspension... Thanks all of you. Sincerely, James. -- -- You are currently subscribed to the R/C Tank Combat group.
