  1. hi to all,

     

    This is a nice thread, lots of info for me to use. I've recently returned to this hobby after a long absence. I bought a Merkava mkIII 1/35 scale from Academy as my first project in years. I've been reading a lot about this tank and have grown to admire it for it's looks design and it's capabilities (considering it was made by the Israelis at a time when they had very little experience in designing something like this).

     

    So far I'm still in the "planning" stage but I've noted some things about Academy's model:

    -The Upper and Lower hull don't meet exactly (well I can't expect every model to be perfect).

    -The Ball and Chain protection used by the Merkava at the rear of the turret are slightly out of scale and quite difficult to install.

    -The Main Gun's elevation is fixed (yeah, I'm one of those guys who like to "play" after it's built!)

    -The Decals look at bit too thick to apply on the sideskirts.

     

    These matters aside, I love the model. It's something to do when I have time to spare and is a great way for me to relive stress. Currently I'm looking for a reasonably priced airspray set andmy research is still on-going.

     

    When I'm done, I'll post some pix on this thread. :cool:

  2. life is good....

     

    when I'm knee deep in work, blood shot eyes :angry: , but knowing that this is worth the time and effort. :cool:

     

    when I wish I could have all the material things I desire but can't get them because I can't work it into my budget :cry: , but I could save for eventually. :D

     

    when I fear that I may robbed snatched or even killed be it on the way to work or just windowshopping in a mall :grr: , but always get home safe. :boo:

     

    when I have a disagreement with my hubby about something, we won't talk to each other for hours :thumbsdownsmiley: , but make up before the day ends. :lol: :heart: :lol: :heart: :lol:

  3. ask ko lang mga pards, bakit nagkakaron ng operation timed out ung firefox, may mga site na okey lang, but yung iba, di ko maa access, at ang bad trip eh di ko ma access mtc..... :cry:  :cry:

     

    sometimes there are too many users, yun ang napapansin ko, or yung server medyo bumabagal. usually when I try to login a site na alam ko maraming gumagamit hindi ako mapasok. I've tried reloading the browser, usually this works but not all the time.

     

    compared to IE mas gusto ko pa rin ang firefox. it's stable and doesn't have the security issues of IE...well at least for now :headsetsmiley:

  4. I got an ibm r50e thinkpad

     

    intel celeron 1.5 ghz

    256 mb ram (I haven't upgraded yet)

    40 hdd

    vcd/dvd combo drive

    14 inch screen

    2 usb ports no firewire

     

    I got it thru my office, so im paying for it every month. it's not the best, but it works well especially for spreadsheets and word documents. Pretty good for starcraft too. My only wish was that the sstock battery would last longer than the 2.5 hours.

     

    Currently i'm looking to add more memory and get a card reader for it. :cool:

  5. For those who live in the Tomas Morato area or at least within close proximity, there is this coffee shop called Bang Coffe (yup that's the name!) where you can surf wirelessly for free. the most yoou would need to pay for is a hundred pesos per hour if you plug your laptop to recharge it.

     

    and before I forget the prices for their drinks are relatively cheap compared to that of Starbucks and Seattles.
