Another trick that I use personally, is to put the landing gear in the cockpit,with the tab by the pilot's feet, and the metal dumbbell wheel by the pilot's head. When you stand the figure up, the gear will tip forward and lean against the canopy, and the metal wheel will help balance the entire no...

Great to learn that there not KO's Starscream can rejoin his friends now :) I took your advice Jose on the repairs but I used a slightly different approach. I just backed off the cockpit screw about a turn and a half just so it wasn't so counter sunk in there. Now holds in place nice. This could ove...

Thanks Jose. I didn't really consider the paint being touched up. Here's some pictures of the Jets I have that I thought where KO's After my resent learning's I think Skywarp and Thundercracker are good. But I still have my doubts about StarScream. Could just be the fact that the paint was touched u...

Cool I don't mind being wrong. I think I made the right choice avoiding the seller anyway. Thanks for that link Minevra I had stumbled across that site. But I think it was outdated cause all the links where dead and no pictures. But that link worked a treat. But talk about variant overload LOL very ...

Help with, Is this StarScream Fake KO

Hi Guys, I've done plenty of looking around the web on this but would love to throw it out for discussion. I was just in some negotiations for a G1 StarScream and I had alarm bells go off about it and the seller. I have walked away from the deal now but would like to get more info on them cause I wo...

I scored it for free a few years back now. Was an ex cosmetics Display case. I claimed it from where I used to work when they replaced them with new ones. I asked the guys installing it what are they doing with it. It was going to landfill so I said just leave it over there and I'll come collect it ...

Wow that's just wrong. I dunno maybe they sting me in some other way. I always saw the Auctions Buy it Now for $1 with jacked up shipping cost as a ploy to suck in people who impulse buy and don't read auction descriptions correctly. Either that or to get your listing higher in the search results. B...

This topic is old and maybe things are different now or it's just different here in Australia. I even went back to double check cause I was certain I only pay final value fees for the items sale price. And yes I was right here is the final value fees conditions well not all but enough to get the poi...

Nice job, Nathan. I like the watches. Omega can take a lot less space by displaying it with two tracks instead of four. The watches are cool they where a random score. Interestingly one is branded quartz and the other has Ansett which was an Airline here that no loner exists. I'm guessing they wher...

Thanks It's my pride and joy. Looks pretty ratty now that it's been skated over a million times. Great thing is though I still have the stencils and can reproduce anytime :D Here's a semi break down of some of the stages it went though. Plus some other randoms I've done. Enjoy http://i1274.photobuck...

$30 for an instant collection gotta be loving that.

Great Idea though to sell of what you don't want to fund what you do.

Makes it feel more justified when you spend big dollars on those figures you really have to have when you can pick up some so cheap.

My Spray Painting Stencils

Hey everyone, Thought I'd share some of my stencil work. Although I often just copy pictures. I do all this stuff myself. I am by no means a vandal. I don't do this stuff any where I'm not supposed to. These are all done on my home made skateboard ramp, in my back yard. I've just bought a few canvas...

Search-Fu hey. With my lifestyle I would not be able to to uphold such oaths. Maybe Just the insanity part. It was driving me nuts, as there were so many 6" lines over the years, but those pieces belonged to nothing that would even come close to making sense (such as TMNT, or Rambo, or Chuck No...
