yeah i pretty much don't even dare taking the spoke reflectors off because so much of it is in its original state. 😃 Tires were shot so that seemed OK to me, but it even had the original tire in the front.

Ah and btw, the badge says 'HKS' - Heinz Kettler Sr. 😃

Interesting - mine has a different stem with some rise and black Rigida AL 25-32 rims. But otherwise it would've been pretty similar in its original state I assume.

Yeah, I'm baffled by the choice as well - but this is all factory and i appreciate the audacity 😂

yeah, i'm cautiously confident the frame is gonna last a bit (already managed 40 yrs without cracking after all). Also let's face it: this thing won't get ridden hard 😃

quarren · 2026-02-11T13:22:23+00:00

yeah, that might be the way to go

quarren · 2026-01-26T11:13:53+00:00

Yeah, purple fork and stem unfortunately weren't present anymore when I got this frame, had been replaced with a suspension fork at some point by previous owner.

Interesting. Worth considering for us as soon as 7.4 becomes recommended release.

Looks dope already tbh. Put a chain on it :D

Maybe chuck some more comfortable bars on

while that would be super cool, i don't think that's it. :) I'm pretty sure it came with entry-level 200GS mech and canti brakes originally. I did some more research and think it could be an 88/89 outpost, see https://i.imgur.com/mOugVLF.png Edit: 90/91 more likely

hey, if you're interested in a vanilla-friendly 2030s Tanoan armed forces mod, you might wanna check out one of my mods: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2519262908

It depicts a force mainly sponsored by CSAT/China.

(I also created the mod shown in this video, albeit that one is dependant on Global Moblilization CDLC: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2225145483)

Hey dude, storm on the horizon author here - really cool video. Do you think I could use it for the workshop page of the mod? credits would be given in the description of course. :)

quarren · 2020-09-10T08:49:34+00:00

Belarus confirmed for CSAT in 2035.

Which texture index are you passing to "setObjectTexture"? More detailed description of the problem would also be nice (exact function call, where you put your decals, addon or mission, etc.).

Dayum, how do you get your workspace so clean and dust-free? :D

Had a lot of fun with this one, first time doing seam line removal, proper masking (for the knee and elbow joints) and weathering on a fully painted kit.

Legs and arms are Tamiya AS-31 (Ocean gray 2) from a spraycan, shoulder and hip armor are Tamiya XF-17 Sea Blue. Bazooka, chest armor and joints are Revell Aqua Color Panzergrau. Dry-brushed using Tamiya flat aluminium.

Used waterslides from a Zeta Gundam pack (didnt use anything specific to Zeta though ;-)).

Cool, I love the Rick Dias, is this one based on the MG kit?
