Arrow Hello all, Goodbye all.

Hello all, i thought it was time introduce my self, my name is Nathaniel,T,Starkel.
I live in Orange park Florida, near Blanding Blvd. I have been making "things" out of paper for a long time, for the longest time i used tape and gluestick, i tried not to use tape as much as possible, i started using tacky glue when i found i could use it to close up parts, the glue i used was a couple years old! but it was still fine, i used to make models from a site called flippitpapercombat, but once i did my first PTA model i never made another one..as far as i can remember! lol. I also race and drive R/C cars,shortcourse trucks are my favorite.
I also like tanks and military vehicles.
And goodbye all, as i am leaving for MI either next Monday or Tuesday; along the way there i will be stopping at the AAFTankmuseum, they have the ONLY indoor R/C tank battle field..and a gift shop!!! witch i will probably buy something I'm looking forward to seeing real tanks in person.
So Hello all!!! good bye all!

As you travel north toward MI, try to stop in Auburn, Ind. at the WW II Victory Museum.

You will want to take a lot of pictures, so take extra batteries and memory card for your camera.

I don't know if they still have the tank proving ground at Lima, Ohio ( or was it Findlay), but we used to sometimes take a picnic lunch out and watch the tanks go through the obstacle course, but that was many, many, MANY moons ago.

I'm sure GD doesn't let the population get that close any more.

It is Lima, OH.
See: Lima Army Tank Plant (LATP)
and
M1 Abrams - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

However, I have no knowledge of the obstacle course.

It was kinda cool. They had these giant mudpits and moguls and it seemed like they were just trying to see how fast they can make it through. Excellent way to kill a lunch hour watching them do their stuff. I really doubt that 'in the interest of national security' they allow you to sit on the hill and watch any more.
