My second Springer Buzz Lightyear had his first wetting today and made 2 rescues with his super grip knees :D
How many more Springers will I have to build before I can say that I have a fleet? {-)
-
Nice workshop, amigo.
-
never mind the workshop PMK, what about Buzz {-)
-
Hmm, lemme see.........
Yes - very slinky!
-
Buzz needs a Barbie springer to play with O0

Buzz needs a Barbie springer to play with O0
Ohhh... some steak... and some beer... hmmm....
Ooops.. wrong Barbie... :embarrassed:
Nice Springer Alan... By the way, a 'fleet' is more than two...
-
I like the knee-pads , what are they made from ?
-
Hi Arrow, they are cut from the rubber that goes between a pipe bracket and the pipe, it is used to stop vibration on boats, full size ones that is.

Thanks Alan, they look the biz. Going to a boaty place in a couple of weeks so will try a scrounge-about. ;)
-
I have a Barbie Springer.
It does have a pointy bow, as the genuine Barbie deck is about a inch longer than a springer hull. But as the front pushers stick out beyond, I don't see this as a problem. (and it's for fun only)
-
Think you had better post a photo of it Bob as Boatmadman (my springer sumo opponent) may want to study it {-)

Don't really want to spoil the party, but that isn't a Buzz; it's a Woody inside what looks like a plastic aerosol can top. Call me sad if you like (or worse), but sometimes I have to pay attention to my small grandson, or he bites my knees......................
Blast! He's six tomorrow; I'll have to be careful of the head butts from now on!

Sorry FLJ cant take the word of a granddad, will consult with my 6 year old grandson when I come back from Woodbridge
Would have had Garfield driving but would not fit into the can top.
Must try and keep up with these things
Alan
-
Sorry to butt in guys, but thats definitely a "Woody".
Buzz has a more rounded chubby face.

I really... really... REALLY dont want to ask this question... :-\
Does this mean AlanP has got a Woody and he needs a Buzz?... :o

I may be wrong, but do I detect a trace of smut about this?? :o

Steady on lads, remember we have all age groups in this Forum. Also, let's keep high standards in the Forum, please.

OK, Ok, as I started this thread I would like to rename it, (if I knew how)
WOODY RIDES TO THE RESCUE
Must try and watch a bit more telly, or perhaps get out a bit more :)
Toesupwa >>:-(
Alan
-
My knowledge of Buzz comes from a grandson who has a model of Buzz. When you press a button he speaks certain phrases over and over and over and over and over......UGH!

Every toy seems to make some kind of strangled electronic racket these days, I think my biggest blunder was getting the little fella a toy laptop computer, i thought it would be a good way of keeping his interest away from my pc, it kind of worked but the sounds it makes drive me BARMY >>:-( help :'(
-
It could have been worse it could have been BARNEY >>:-( dinosaur!

So now we have established that my Springer is Woody and not Buzz :'( Woody will be travelling from Cumbria at 6am tomorrow down to Woodbridge in Suffolk where he may be riding into battle on the local boating lake. {-) Possible photo's next week.
Alan
-
Oh dear!
Woody is a bit of a cowboy !
Err did he assist in the build?
well we all know what cowboys are renowned for :embarrassed: {-)
If memory of the film is right Woody was the sort of sensible one (I think) so all should be fine O0
R
forgot to ask how long are you going to be in Woodybridge ?
-
Nice one catengineman {-) woodybridge, I like it
My there are some quick people on here.
Alan
-
How long will you be down my way then?
-
Will be down there till next Monday or Tuesday. Looking at the local model club it looks like they are mostly rag and stick so I will take my 2 Springers one afternoon or evening to give my son a lesson in Springer wrestling. Don't want to upset the locals ;D
I will have a look at this thread when I get to my sons, in case you want to have a meet.
Off to bed as I have to be up at the crack of Sparrows
Alan
-
I have only just arrived home from sea so I have to ask the spanner if I can go out to play >:( Ill keep looking in on this thread and I'll have to search out the pond / lake at Woodbridge
O0
-
Saterday morning is a possibility but not crtain so I would not put yourself out too much
Alan
-
Woody in Woodbridge
1.......getting instructions from a local. (who went away shaking his head)
2.......woody being bullied
3.......woody getting revenge
Woody is now back in Cumbria convalescing
-
nice pics Alan, hope woody recovers ok O0
-
Tried to get intouch with Woodbridge club to see if there were restrictions on lake use but had no answer and then Spanner demanded a trip to Norwich (without my 'toys') >>:-(
R,
-
AlanP, you know that shape looks a bit like an army tank. A military camo paint job, some hand-rails and a howitser out the front and then CHARGE O0
-
Mmmmmmm, you have got me thinking now, it just so happens that I have another hull (well one has to have a fleet, hasn't one) :D
-
Correct ...more than one is a fleet IMHO 8)
