Announcing: The Smith & Wesson Collection!
Wow, 'Hippy got some actual Airsoft stuff to talk about, huh?? Yeah I know its been lacking lately, despite the purchases I have actually been making (I did mention that WA Beretta Scoremaster I got, didn't I? Well its beautiful, so there ).
So now I have some truly wonderful news; thanks to the mighty Snowman (No, not my local Coke-dealer ) I will finally have one of the guns I had forever written off as unattainable - the much-prized and highly sought-after Maruzen Skorpion, A.K.A. the VZ61...
...What's that comic-book-guy quote from The Simpsons? - "There is no emoticon for what I am feeling right now!!" Yeah I'm pretty chuffed. I considered deploying the smiley, followed by the and the and then the smiley, finishing off with a rather cheeky , but then I realised that I would be running out of 'em for the whole entry as its 10-per-post only, and thats about all of them already Well now it is, anyway.
Well we'll just have to live without them for a little while, won't we? Good good.
Well I have even more good news today because the Smith & Wesson Collection now nears completion, as the KSC M945 is out for delivery today after I paid the Villainous Autocratic Theft, err, I mean Value Added Tax, on the parcel yesterday via the charming Parcel Force. More on this later in fact...
But for now I can say that with the M945 the S&W lot is pretty comprehensive; and while by no means being complete, I label it as such because it covers all the necessary areas of their range as far as I see it; std-size automatics, compact autos, famous-model copies, and then large, medium and small-framed revolvers. So as it stands the lot now (including what arrives today) comprises;
M36 `Chief’s Special` .38 (Tanaka)
M65 FBI .357 (Tanaka)
M629 .44 (Tanaka)
M500 .500 (Tanaka)
M4013 TSW .40 (Western Arms)
M945 .*** [9mm?] (KSC)
SW1911 DX .45 (Western Arms)
(Please pardon the low-res pics from my phone)
Which makes me happy to have a fairly comprehensive range to display, and should make a fine addition to The Armoury when I eventually get around to building it. In fact I may even have more Smith & Wesson guns lurking in the far corners of my collection, but until I properly catalogue them all and have the full details of each laid out then I honestly wont know for sure!

Also in this package comes a Colt Police Positive revolver – a favourite since watching gangster films of the 1920s/1930s era (or at least set around the ‘30s) – which should give me incentive enough to try and get a decent Colt collection together as well (plus giving me the perfect excuse to buy a Tanaka Python).
And also, the first couple of bits of Tan gear I am getting. I do believe I’ll be starting some sick kind of Tan fetish soon as I’ve spotted a whole load of bits and bobs that I think will be extremely useful, but more importantly will make me look coordinated.
Did I really say that? Christ I must be getting weirder/geardier than I thought.
