  1. Wow, the surface is really not nice... I've seen smoother garage kit resin... Eric
  2. Link - http://www.hlj.com/product/tam24316 Eric
  3. Pictures of the plastic... http://www.tamiya.com/japan/products/20060...ype79/index.htm Eric
  4. It appears that Tamiya is also jumping on the Lotus bandwagon - they are producing a Lotus 79 kit as well! It should be out in late May. Not sure when Hasegawa's will come out. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10114361 Eric
  5. I put a note up on the Model Car Magazine Forum. Eric
  6. It may take a couple days to sort all the permissions out - IP Board does a very nice job of hiding things all over the place. There are actually 2 (or mebbe 3) levels of permissions which can all interact in odd ways. Its not the way would have done things... Eruc
  7. I think we are set for the new folks... if you log out and hit the main forum page, you'll be able to see the Forum FAQ and Ask the IPMS sections as a non-logged in (guest) user. And anyone should be able to register ... Eric
  8. Hmm... looks like the FF upgrades are not compatible with some code within the Forum software. I hate to say it but there probably is not much I can do for the moment. There is an upgrade to IPBoard, but it is a big one (a complete new version) and I hoped to avoid it for a while... There are a number of things I need to handle first... Eric
  9. I have the missing cursor in FF 3.6.3 and Win 7, but I can enter text... since that's how I am doing this post... Very odd.... E
  10. Hmmm... in FF 3.6.2, I don't see a cursor show up in the reply box, but I can enter text with no problem. I can highlight existing text in the quote as well. I don't have a Vista system, just XP and Win7. Can you not enter any text or is it the missing cursor issue.. Eric
  11. Actually Firefox is up to version 3.6 for Windows... Eric
  12. Ah, drat... I don't have a Win7 system yet... Can you try in IE and see what happens? Eric
  13. What operating system, browser are you using? Version numbers for each, too.. Eric
  14. Can you provide an example of a thread where this is occurring? Eric
  15. On the Share >> More Options pop up window, Select Get Link code, and check only the 'IMG for bulletin boards & forums' box Then in the 'Share this image' box next to the image will always have the correct code which uses the square brackets... E
  16. Safari has a built in security checker which uses a Google system to check for malware. I am wondering if one of the Flash ads has an issue. I did get the same warning after I went back, but it has not reappeared... E
  17. OK, I just created an account... Here is what I did using my MacBook Pro and Safari 4.0.4... Added a pic. Went to image page. Placed cursor over image - displays a menu at top. Selected 'Share..' pulldown. Selected 'More Options'. Selected Get Link Code tab Grabbed text link from 'IMG for bulletin boards & forums' Pasted below.
  18. You mean directly posting a pic on the forum or giving a link to a Photobucket pic? E
  19. I would contact MJ at manager@ipmsusa.org Eric
  20. NASCAR is gone from scale modeling because of licensing issues. Its just not worth Revell-Monogram's time and energy to build all new toolings for the new cars and try to sell them at a price folks will pay when you add on the fees the various parties want... For example, Tamiya's re-issues of old F1 kits are missing the Goodyear logo decals because of licensing even though some kits have logos in the rubber sidewalls of the tires... Folks are getting greedy and only the lawyers are really raking in the dough. E
  21. They also did limited run F1 kits.. in plastic and resin, I think. Eric
  22. What I've done on F1M is what I would like to do on a new version of the IPMS web site in the future. Maintaining a spreadsheet is a royal pain. It would be easier to have it in a database where many people can contribute. Eric
  23. Done... http://www.f1m.com/main/map/node Blue blobs are Hobby Shops - the odd green blob is a show/contest. Eric
  24. It amazes me that, other than Revell, no model company has released their instruction sheets as downloadable files from their web site. And Revell has not put up that many.. The sheets have no intrinsic value w/o the model kit.. and its not like there aren't folks scanning and emailing copies anyway... Eric
