Rolf Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 your the real HDPE messiah, bro! i wish i had your time and skills to finally build all my WIP projects. Haha thanks bro I will never be a worker bee, i have too much to do in life to work like a mad man. I don´t like normal work much, but love to be whit my son/wife/4 hobbys/travel etc. Lucky for us here, our rent is not that high, so we don´t need to work full time to pay for all our bills here. So i guess, you will still see me put on new TD stuff when i´m old and grey. Still hope to win the big lottery, and never work again, and only do what i do best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolf Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 Man Rolf! How many helmets is this now that you've put together? You must have a closet full of them by now! I guess i have assembled around 15 helmets, over the last 10 years. Right now i only got 4 here, the rest is sold. I do not aim for a big collection, just a few suits/helmets. But i like to study and assemble them, getting better every time. Keep on upgrading i guess is a part of our hobby too, for many of us out there.

iconoclasta_88 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Thats one beautiful bucket. Remind me again, what's the correct humbrol color for gray and black? I normanlly use Testors 1138 and Testors Satin Back for my buckets. Saludos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
