No German WW2 tyres were marked as “EXTRA GELÄNDE”.
EXTRA marking refers to the sizing; there was no such thing as “extra off-road”.

Also ‘Pimp my…’. sounds very very tacky

How about ‘soliciting my…’?

First of all companies were selling sprues for 5 x the value of the kit sprue from whence it was taken

Now it’s individual parts sold for 100 x the kit part - I had purchased tool clamps and stuff but have reached the conclusion that most can be scratched.

Bend a 2 x piece of wire into a ‘U’ shape and hey presto no one can tell the difference between that and a 3D clamp set

I’ve also realised that far too much emphasis is given to hoarding rather than building

Reminds me of the movie “They Live”
