Some "rare" ones...

Post by Midnight »

Hi,
I just scored a Lil' Temp so I thought it would be fun to create a thread about our rare Spydies.
I'll start it off and everybody can jump in.
It'll be the most cruel post ever!

Hi Midnight, nice Lil' Temp, but it looks like the lanyard tube is inserted wrongly. I once disassembled my Lil' Temp and made the same mistake. One scale is thicker at the lanyard point then the other, so, as you now can see on your pics, it protrudes a bit at the non-clip side, and is a bit too deep at the clip side. If you get some small torx bits you can easily fix it yourself. (disassemble and flip the tube)

Thanks a lot for the heads up, Ted.
I just got it and hadn't noticed.

I'll do it ASAP.

That's a custom Caly JR. pimped by STR.
The scales are in fact Lignium wood.

Sweet!

I'm still missing a burgundy though.
Anybody wanna hook me up?

Since Lil Temps seem popular here, here's the other, somewhat less common, version....

OK, I'll play as well :D

The rare Dodo plant 'flowers' can be found in few numbers along the Eastern Sea Board of the continent of Australia. Foliage is greenish with some light stripes running parellel its spiny exterior. The inside of the Dodo plant leaves are succulent. It is sometimes used by many indeginous tribes and cultures around the world for its many medicinal properties. The 'flowers' range in colour from the more traditional small orange bell-shaped ones which flower every 6 months. However once every 4 years they can sometimes be seen to have blue and black 'flowers' complete with sharp CPMS30V spikes :D

The male of the human species in particular like to adorn themselves with these rare flowers and use them for many and varied purposes ;) :D

Image

During certain times of the day these 'flowers' sometimes close up to protect the spikes. Here are some I picked and laid out for cataloguing purposes only :)
