*phew*

I was looking for it and didn't see it at the top of page 2. Thought it had gone off the end.

Got my Webtex chest rig. Now just have to wait to get my new rifle. As soon as I do I'll be running out to HRTA to test it all out. Can't wait. I have a feeling I'll be absolutely riddled by all the regulars

gandalf

As promised here are a few shots from today. The pictures link thru to the larger versions on Flickr.









And finally a piccie of me taken by Lemming....



The rest can be seen on the Airsoft set I have on Flickr thru this link.

Harlequin Wolf

Nice pics, the one of Gary and his RPK is the best lol

Mark_Sc

Who is that pointing an M14 in my face?

Edit: Wait, is that an M1 grand?

NakedDex

Man I'm sick of missing skirmishes. I'll be back in Meath for a week or so from the 3rd or 4th so if I can figure a way to get from Meath to Swords I'll be there with bells on.

Mark_Sc

Is anyone going tomorro?!?

The Master

The best photo of me ever taken right Here

CrazyRabbit

Cool pics.

Can't believe I had to miss yet another week at HRTA. :mad:

o1s1n

Cool pics Gandalf. Nice to see you finally in some camo

Lemming

I took some pics with my phone and they can be found here

My favourite of the lot is maybe this one:

The Master

Fantastic pic Lemming
(thats me going prone)

Oberleutnant

Oh thats me with the M14(not mine)

just borrowed it for the pic, ala Vietnam style-ie! so many rolling stones tunes going through my head now!

odonnell

Hi guys.... on the advice of Gandalf... im just checking in to A) intro myself, see when would be a good time to commit to a visit to the hrta site (preferably with some boardsies around so i dont feel like a complete outsider).

Any feedback welcome!

O'D

gandalf

Ah fresh meat to the grinder. Welcome aboard, please lube up that credit card of yours because its got to get ridden

odonnell

thats rather worrying

having looked at your list of armaments Gandalf i can understand your sentiments!! No sir... ill be a happy camper with one reliable rifle and one healthy sidearm thanks....and the rest of the cash can go on mrs. odonnells photography!

gandalf

Hehehe you say that now Mr. O'Donnell but wait until you get up to HRTA and see all the other toys on display LOL

Heres Julies new 1D Mark III before airsoft and here it is after airsoft

odonnell

haha, oh how i wish that could be so mate... she'd never allow it.

Admittedly, skimming through the various threads and pictures, i found my tongue hanging out on more than one ocassion, but that was quickly cured when i realised you can get a nice healthy Barret .50cal for a meagre $2000. Or would like you a SAW with that sir? - that'll be another $1600 please....

Nah ive 'assured' her my initial outlay will be ranging in the e350 zone...

You might wanna 'assure' her some more... that ain't enough

ED E

Well...I'm getting an Ump today for €89 (collecting, 100 shipped) so 250 euro should be enough for camo, mask, bbs and a Viper vest is only £35. Oh, if anyone is going to the UK get camo there if you dont mind if its not the exact type you wanted, the surplus stores will give you a jacket and trousers for £25:D

odonnell

i know ive taken this OT - wont ever happen again

nah i think 350 should do just on the initial bits and pieces. Ill probably be in Glasgow soon and id pick up my CS95s there, or i think i seen them on a site somewhere here - cheap enough like, unless youre going for the whole shebang - nordie, webbing, etc.

Ill wait and see how i go on some weekend first though obviously.

I was like you I thought I could control it.......


(just to get back on topic I ain't going to HRTA this weekend )

odonnell

hehe i love that...."i was like you"

is this a sport, or a contagious disease!!??

Gimme a shout when youre goin down Gandalf, ill tag along with ya if ya dont mind - dont want to be a complete lone-stranger my first outing.
