Oh baby. Original on the left. Newly minted on the right.

I already teased this in my wanted thread but it also belongs here. I made great progress on my quest to a Palomar Set and these beauties just arrived in Germany! They still need a bath and some oil but more on that later.

Special thanks to @DrStrange who hooked me up with most of these. But also special thanks to all of the other members who let me buy their Palomars, your sacrifice to the cause will not be forgotten, I promise ;)

And most importantly, @arch3r without whom this whole project just wouldn't be possible! Great guy, sending you lots of good chipping karma!


The unboxing was lead by our youngest member @OfficerLovejoy s son who did a tremendous job on getting everything out of the boxes. We are currently in training phase 1 where the goal is to ignite the chipping spark. To ensure his passion is not shortlived we need YOUR CHIPS (especially Palomars! :LOL: :laugh:) Just shoot me as PM.

Only after Angelos son successfully completed the quality control we where able to get a family picture:

Needless to say, I'm beyond stoked! If you want to be part of the journey and get regular updates, follow my wanted thread. I will post condition updates and exact numbers there. Maybe you have a Palomar that you don't need? :ninja:

PS: Some are still en route, stay tuned for updates!

Cheers,
Your fellow German chipper!
 
So, if anyone is wondering why the USPS is out of packaging material, you can blame @greenchip! For three barrels, I think the chip to packaging ratio was like 1:1,658,935. Amazing packing job! I mean, I think Joe Burrow could have probably thrown me this from California and it would have still arrived intact.

All my friends who know about my PCF obsession always wonder why I make the 3D prints for people that I've never met. They see it as a massive waste of my time.

About 4 months ago I made something relatively small for @Roslindale. He let me know that he received it in good condition, and posted some great pictures of it in use next to some good bottles of whiskey.

Then today, I received this in the mail out of the blue.

A beautiful handwritten note, and two awesome custom chips. (One of which is blurple, need I say more). Well, my answer to the question above is: this is why. This right here. You made my day, buddy!
 
Thanks to a trade with @HaRDHouSeiNC I got my 12th and final Illinois casino frac today. Nice!

I was really trying to be a good boy in that last flash sale from Jim... I really really tried! I couldn't believe I passed on the opportunity to own a 1 of 7 set of playable Fat Hats... but then again as I always say this place is full of enablers!!

@JustDogbert reached out and said he had wanted to check them out and were not his thing and was willing to pass them on at cost! Well damn... I seriously thought I was in the clear on these, but obviously higher powers gave me a second chance for a reason... I am NOT one to be arguing with those higher powers! Lol

Anyways Thank You Mr. Gary, we absolutely love them and you are right... I should have grabbed one in the initial sale! This breakdown is absolutely perfect for a T3k set of 10/10/12/3 and I plan to use it for those late night Turbos at meet ups (as a 2K set).

Much Love for the Fat Hat 48mm monsters! What a cool little set!
