Aaaahh, FINALLY we're going to see what he does with all those spring loaded weapons!

Now, I'm assuming that many of the tools you've assembled are for other purposes too, eh? Do you do other DIY projects around the house?

This should really come with spoiler tags...'cause it was kinda devastating to see what he did those parts...

Really?

Did you see the color of that Havoc seat? It was Brown...there's no fixing that...Recycle, Trash, or Tech-detail...that's about the only 3 options for a part like that.

!!ALL YOUR SHELLS ARE BELONG TO US!!

I can understand your pain, DJ... but sometimes you gotta break a few eggs... or HAVOCs...

Edit: those HAVOC cockpits were left over after cutting the flatbed down for tech detail -- the undersides of these Cards... as a propulsion system with MOBAT wheels as thrusters -

"let no part go to waste"

Yes, the tools were actually purchased for other uses, they just get re-purposed once in a while...

Mostly woodworking...

FANTASTIC.

Ive got what I call my 'bits box'.... all the crap that has detail, etc from various toylines, model kits, etc. Stuff that I know has value down the road. It never occured to me to do what you've done here.

At Lowes the other day I came across a $99 table top band saw, and thought how awesome it was, but I had no use for it. Now, Ill be picking one up next time Im there. And to think of all the shells I dumped this summer....

Yep, i think that's what i have, only Ryobi brand. I caught it on a Home Depot online-only deal for $99 + free shipping --

Like i mentioned though -- the band saw is awesome & makes for quick work, but the bench sander (also Ryobi, also $99) really cleans up the saw edges quick --

You might want to look for a bench sander first...
