I had just picked this up on eBay, I'm gonna try it with my SOCs and SRCs so that I can build a custom miniature " DX SOC/SRC Maz Hangar"... 2 Track Signal Bridge Set Model RR Building Kit HO 1:87 by Model Power C-10 MINTwww.ebay.com/itm/251535661314I haven't checked to see what else that vendor has; but I believe he may have some HO model buildings (Demolition scenes) that look nice for robot battle dioramas. I always place this kind of stuff on my watch list in case something really cool turns up and I can use it for making custom display scenes for my figures. zozo-mag

I can see a lot of uses for that!! I thought about doing a large hanger for a couple of my jumbos. Problem was, I couldn't find all the pieces to get it the way I wanted it. I found everything down to the steel plating rivets, I just couldn't find the amount of plating I would need that would be cost feasible!!

I found everything down to the steel plating rivets, I just couldn't find the amount of plating I would need that would be cost feasible!! Are you talking about floor plates for the base? I have an idea......... Go to a hobby shop craft store that sells photo frames... the retro plastic clear acrylic photo frames that look like trays or low boxes...... Those are what you need for a base floor... Them frames come in various large sizes, like 8x10 and 11x14 and up... the bigger they are the more they cost. You can even find them in thrift stores dirt-cheap. As an option, you can also tile a few together to fit the floor scale size for your jumbos. Build the "floor" and then use some to build a "back wall". Sometimes I use them as " light boxes"*** for drawing on paper. ( with LED lights ONLY! ordinary bulbs get hot and will melt the acrylic) Those frames are clear acrylic... but you can scratch and etch panel lines into the surface with a metal straight-edged ruler and a fine-point Exacto knife or sculpting knife. You can paint them in such a manner as to leave some areas of the acrylic plastic exposed for an LED light to shine through the "floor", and other colored light effects such as black/yellow Hazard stripes and radiation symbols. I'll post pics of the frames tonight after I get home from work, so that you can see the photo frames I'm talking about. I have two (one is 8x10, and the other is 5x7). zozo-mag

Hi Guys! OK, I have got a number of recent purchases and I was planning to make a post with all of 'em...but NOW and I mean NOW I must post about this sh*t sick madness of the bloody customs in my country, Egypt! Do you know what do you see in the photo taken from eBay here? It is the popy piece I bought from Italy! It was detained for 12 days at the customs dept. and when I investigated it, they told me I must go to the Ministry of Communications of Egypt and get a security certificate saying that this is not a spying plane! WTF?! I must cross all these kilometers to go to the post center then the ministry of comm. cuz they think this lil' popy toy is a flying spying plane? I still didn't have it. I still dunno how much will they charge me for it. I just know it must be King Vega the head of the Egypt customs dept. f**k THE POSTAL CUSTOMS OF EGYPT!

Postal systems around the world are so fked up beyond belief.
I recently proxied and sent a package to a friend in Chile a month ago. He still has NOT received it. I tracked the package at my local Post Office, and they indicated that my package left the U.S. over three weeks ago. But Chile is not on their list of trackable countries. My friend is asking me to get the matter resolved and get a refund plus the value of the package..... the dammn package left the U.S. over three weeks ago and is now untrackable at either end, W T F can I do?!
That's It. I've Had it. I will NO longer proxy, period! I don't wanna deal with this fking BS any longer. And I had even paid extra money to ship the package AT THE P.O. because I couldn't print a Click-n-Ship label!
On top of that, my friend continued shopping and having items shipped to Me, thus adding to the package load; without any further consent from me. At first I offered to help him with one or two items at a time; soon after that, he turned it into a fking Shopping Spree! BAD MOVE, cos now I'm pissed and I no longer G A F.
NOPE, I WILL NEVER EVER PROXY AGAIN, PERIOD. NO EXCEPTIONS. If anyone wants something from the U.S. they should use their own country's eBay system and fetch the item themselves, or pack up and migrate here to the U.S. I'm tired of getting b*tched at because a package got lost and is untrackable.
I didn't mean to go off topic, but since many of us are having problems receiving their packages thru the mail, I just Had to address the proxy issue while we're on that little side-note about Deliveries.

Spy plane? Man....the post office is really messed up! I spent a full day there at the postal customs center, which is so damn far away from my home, knowing that I suffer a lot of health issues. If I were into outer space trying to release the real spazer free from King Vega's captivity, it would have been easier! They made me move from a hall to another, pay 3 types of fees and sign a lot of documents with each paper almost the length of my arm!

I will check if I have any extra harikens left. I bought a grendy a while ago that was missing parts (seller didn't tell me) so I eventually bought an entirely new complete grendy, because I was never going to find the hariken. If I didn't sell it and I have one, I'm in the US so shipping won't be the cheapest but we can figure something out. I'll let you know ASAP.

Yes, and I paid only 3.5 USD for the customs! It's crazy how they do manage things here. Is the CGA-11 = in size to the GA-37?

Is the CGA-11 = in size to the GA-37? im afraid there not on the same size, the POPY GA-37 is much bigger than the CGA-11. let me see if i can find a pic of it. -edit- here is a pic i found on google, the bigger one is the GA-37 and the small one is the CGA-11, both been compare to the SoC GX-04 Grendizer

Now that blimp could be considered a spy device..lol I can't believe customs made you jump through loops. I can kind of understand them looking at it (I guess) but then not to release it is a joke and a waste of time and $
