RE: A True White Elefant.
A white elephant is an idiom for a valuable but burdensome possession of which its owner cannot dispose and whose cost (particularly cost of upkeep) is out of proportion to its usefulness or worth. The term derives from the story that the kings of Siam (now Thailand) were accustomed to make a present of one of these animals to courtiers who had rendered themselves obnoxious, in order to ruin the recipient by the cost of its maintenance. In modern usage, it is an object, scheme, business venture, facility, etc., considered to be without use or value. [:D][:D][:D]

RE: Tamiya Tiger Build Advice
[quote]ORIGINAL: ausf The first version of my Tamiya Tiger I was with the full Aber photo etched kit. I drove that thing through bushes, buildings, everything with no real issues. I since converted it to an initial, with countless IR battles and the only issue was a thrice decapitated commander, once by tree, once by building, the last by surrender...

Any tyrant is better than chaos. A tyrant is more predictable, stable, easy to deal with. What will you get instead? A bunch of uncontrollable islamists? What will they plan when they have got the power? Smashing some other american skyscrapers?

RE: Tiger 1:1 Replica
[quote]ORIGINAL: HAL_HUSKER Yeah, it will be a very good movie... at least done by one od the best producers here... Battle scenes were shot at famous Kubinka tank-battle-test field...  [/quote] 1) Not in Kubinka proving ground I'm afraid. 2) As one could notice, probably the replica appears only once in the trailer (0:20). The other shots (0:30 and 1:14) are of quite a different tank disguised as a Tiger. I am disappointed. [:o] A small UPD: Due to the words of replica's maker, it was not shot in this movie. JS-2 was disguised as a Tiger.

RE: How to get fecked for your own money!
Hi Jerry, No ball mount and MG, of course. I think they are missing on their model. Will have to make them myself. Also, the antenna base is present on their manual but looks like it is missing. Easy to fix - just buy one. On the pics of their Elefant the antenna base is missing as well.
