Please explain what we are looking at as i cant see anything in your picture just bushes, a fence and plants, there may be a ghost shaped bear as well but where have you moved your Tear.

I see Eagle convinced another person to start a build :lol:

Got my friend "G" coming over this morning ... He's the one with the model , out trying to hawk these things ... :o He hasn't seen it yet ... We'll see what he thinks ... :roll:

And there's always the consideration of Eagle out there camping again .. This is what, the third trip :o ... so something's obviously working there... Can't wait to hear her latest update... 8)

Eagle's back !!!! YEA!!!!! :D 8) :thumbsup: We look most forward to your travel narrative...


My friend G saw the trailer , he was impressed and wants to sell it :o He said stick it on a HF trailer and sell it to his friend whose been waiting ... Then he asked me how much I wanted for it ... I thought about this , added everything up and then said .... I dunno ?? :oops: hadn't thought of selling it off this quick ... Sad I wouldn't even get to try it out ... :cry:

So how much would a trailer like this be worth ??? I don't have a clue ... :?


Anyway I repainted some of the areas where the dreadful Wal Mart paint didn't cover (4th coat, will NEVER use that again , grrrrr!!! ) and toned down the lighter color just a little bit so it blends in a little better... Image

Ps. Big Thanks to 68Galaxie for the paint scheme !!! :thumbsup: :D 8)
