On moving day, it went right on the fireplace mantle in the living room. That
lasted all of about 43 seconds.

Last Saturday, we told you about how there's a gigantic AT-ST Walker for sale on Ebay right now. It's still there, but why sell such a masterpiece in the first place? Because your girlfriend is freakin' sick of having it around.
The AT-ST's owner, Martin Fillery, explained the situation to the Daily Mail:
"I think my girlfriend is starting to get a bit worried about me. I've always been a bit mad, and I love sci-fi stuff, but my spending on props is going through the roof. ...The Scout Walker is amazing, but I realised pretty quickly that it was just too big to use as on stage, so I'm selling it so I can get more toys."
Those toys he's got his eye on? A batmobile and the ambulance from Ghostbusters. Seems like something of a lateral move, but what do I know; I've never owned an AT-ST.
But the moral of the story is: she's probably right.
It would make a fair deer stand but for what they want for it, no.
Probably the one on the left .... after an all nighter attempt by the one on the right!!!!
Looks like he’s going to keep the tardis...(in the background in one of the pictures at the link).
Hey! Fake blondes with fake body parts need millionaires, too!

It looks like he has a Tardis as well in one of the pictures.
"Even dirty old men need love". *grin*
Pfft! Oh, please. ‘What is a “Tardis” ‘.
I went to the website and still don’t know what a AT-ST Walker is. Or why anyone would buy one.
>> And yes, that’s a carburator soaking in solvent in the bathroom sink.
Baked the front springs in the oven.
It looks smaller on the outside!
You did powder coat in the oven?
My instructions said absolutely not to so I got a junk one just to do powder coat.
Wanted to reduce the coil height. Nothing like have a fully compressed spring in the oven. Not something I’d now recommend doing. I was a kid at the time.
Oh that’s ok. Just a little residual dirt burning off.
Now the powder coat has some nasty burnoff that they say will be “not good” for the next casserole you bake in there.
soaking in solvent in the sink???
dude! that’s what Tupperware is for
(plus if you put the lid on the solvent wont evaporate and you can shake it to get better cleaning)
Definitely an old oven for coating.
