Description A shot of my Merkava 1 on a nice spring day (which didn't last) before I shipped the tank out to a friend. This tank was one of my first and I really love Israeli designs so it was kind of sad to see it go, but hey now there is room in my collection for more. Note to self buy a merkava IV....

I hate hunting, it's pointless and cruel uless of course there is ever a serious food shortage >.>

alot of people around here eat the meat and sell the hide and such. if not its a waste, pointless and IMO disrespectful.
around here if no one hunts the deer/critters they start dyeing from starvation. this is because long ago we killed off all the natural predators. so in some ways around here it has to be done but really not for me.

Ohh ok, I guess that makes more sense lol well as long as it' s not for fun or boredom so someone just goes "Oh i think i'll go out and hunt for the sake of it".....that sickens me >.<

yea i know! i am not sure if this one ever even got the cool tassels and stuff. i have been looking into a replacement for my army, when i get on it will be newer and much more detailed.

hankypanky68 In reply to enc86 [2013-04-17 23:30:34 +0000 UTC]

I think the tassels look real intimidating. They should also hang some fuzzy dice from the cannon! lol

yea thats what i have heard/seen! back when i started it looked really scary so i got the tamiya kit. but now i think i would be ready to do that one justice.

BazSg In reply to enc86 [2013-04-16 15:50:09 +0000 UTC]

Yeah man, Tamiya always starts off as the "safe" choice, but im sure you are more then ready to take on the other brands! Dragon makes some pretty solid kits too!

enc86 In reply to BazSg [2013-04-16 15:55:02 +0000 UTC]

yea for my first year i pretty much only did Tamiya kits. i have been branching for the last few months, there are some great ones out there. personally i prefer the new trumpeter kits, they have some great detail,prices and extras. i have done a few Academy's and while the finished model looks good, they always make me mad XD
