Just one bid ? ROFL, nobody want to buy this POS :D !


Wait korbach, here is the most funny part :

The Tamiya UE carrier worths around 35$ and the German infantry 6$.

If you add glue, paint and various materials, for now he is losing money. :D :D :D

Oh, and I did not mention the hours he spent on it : cheaper than a Chinese !

Loser on all the line, and probably beyhond.


Okay... I got the UE carrier at a show swap, cost me less than 20 bucks. the figures were scrap from the parts box... cost me nothing. the base, the grass, and even the acrylic gel were all shit I had on hand... so even with paint and glue (didn't have to buy anything special for this project so I am "pro-rating" the paint and glue)... I spent a whopping total of about 25 or 30 bucks total... yeah... I spent hours and hours (less than 20 total) working on it.. it's what we Americans call a HOBBY... If this model sold for 50 cents, I have ACCOMPLISHED MY MISSION. That fact that at least one MORE person is laughing at the french, makes it worth all the time in the world. As far as me making a living selling my models on ebay... wake up morons, it's called "clearing the shelf" or "cleaning house"... But then again, since the french have no concept or translation of the word "clean", I guess that last statement was kind of pointless.[/q]

WAIT! This model took third place at an IPMS regional event... I have ALREADY accomplished my mission... the rest afterwards is just icing on the cake.
