Ever catch a bug crawling out a open hatch on your tank??

other day I was dusting off my models( I do it twice a month) on my bookshelf when i saw this ladybug climb out the commander’s cupola on my tamiya Panzer III…

I wonder if she felt at home in there…it had a complete interior with factory fresh paint!!!

i decided to let her be on her way…its not every day you have a lady come check out your models, hey?? [:P][:P]

lol

The ladybug was probably heading back to friends like “you won’t believe what I found”.

No bugs crawling out of my models but I once opened a package from Squadron that was full of big black ants…did I mension I opened the box on my bed and did I mension it was full of big black ants!

i made a clay M113 for art in high school, and it used to sit near a birdcage we had. I caught a cocaroach climibing out after eating the birdseed!

Afetr that if i caught a cocky in it, the M113 would amazingly have all these internal fires that would crispy the cockies!

(i lost the M113 in a bad case of LAPES after being dropped while moving!)

thanks for reminding me i need to dust, i have cob webs coming off most of my models

Had a spider set up shop in a Sherman once… I took it outside (the tank) and blew it away a 12-gauge “Panzerschrek”… I Hate spiders, hate 'em, hate 'em…

I agree with you whole heartedly Hans, except instead of using a 12 gauge, i prob wouldve poured gasoline on it and chucked a match on it…not even the spider from arachnaphobia could survived fire.

Eck! Spiders are just plain horrendous(probably one my phobias.[:O]) If I saw one in my model, I’d have to take out the Zippo flamethrower and torch that nasty little bugger back to hell.[}:)]

No but I have had a spider look over a 251 build I was doing.

WIMPS![swg]

HA HA,

my son would crap his pants!!http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd276/panzerguy_01/sdk251%20dak/IMG_6324.jpg

I’m a full-blooded arachniphobic… I don’t even like Spiderman… The only spider I do like is a P-61…

Spiders will make me break out with random gunfire… Hell, I used a grenade simulator on a tarantula that got into m’ hole one fine day at NTC… Really blew the bug’s mind, man…

I once reached into an open kit box for a part and found a Parsons spider instead. I just about jumped through the beams in my ceiling. I had never seen one in the house before, so it kind of creeped me out. I spend the rest of that afternoon trying to find out what kind it was and if it was dangerous.

What is a Parson’s spider?

One of these Manny: http://bugguide.net/node/view/50168

They love the indoors…commonly found in homes all over the US. [;)]

I wish we had the second amendment in Australia. It would add a whole new dimension to the hobby I feel.[bow]

one thing i didnt like about 6th grade science was we had to train madagascar hissing cockroachs to go through a maze, every time i tried to pick the thing up, it would hiss at me

LOL![:D] You should’ve told the teacher something along the lines of…“damit, these nasty buggers can survive a nuclear holocaust. Why do we need to make them any smarter?”[swg]

the fact that they were 5 inches long didnt help either

Yeah, I can imagine that! at my library they had a hissing cockroach that was like six something inches long, it was named George…

Thanks, Jim
