Bring it.  I'll just spill your coffee on my lap and countersue.

I'm thinking of doing one more in line with sentiments here in the
Pacific 
Northwest, and demolish a Star(bilder)backs - or as I like to call it, 
mcCoffee.

Speaking of such things, I was wondering if smaller 1/32nd scale
vehicles 
can be converted into larger 25mm ones.  A local shop has some Scimitars
and 
a Wiesel, as well as some smaller WWII stuff (Including a model of a

converted by the Germans into a PanzerWerfer carrier).
