  1. Here's a selection of shots from my bench. I'm adding a lot of additional detail to the M51 despite the fact that this is a nice kit. Grab handles and brush guards were "must change" items. Two tips, paint the road wheels, THEN attach them. Don't glue together the tracks until you have them on the model. You'll never get them past the upper guide wheels.

  2. VonL: And I'm not a big fan of the warning status bar either. Unfortunately, it's the only tool we have to give members a reminder that they've gotten out of line and have violated forum rules in some way. As for the ROE you mention, we have 'em. They can be found by clicking on the forum rules link found at the top of every forum page. Remember, it's only viewable by you and the forum moderation staff. Hope this explains things for you...

  3. Just wanted everyone to know about the new Sweet Deals forum I created in the IPMS/USA members-only section of the forum.

     

    This forum has been set up for IPMS/USA members to share information about deals and buying opportunities that will save fellow modelers a substantial amount of bucks. Feel free to post URLS from websites or give addresses for brick and mortar stores (because I definitely want to encourage local members to let us in on deals from their local hobby shop). This forum will be self-moderated in that any complaints about the validity of the "deal" should be sorted out between the poster in the body of the thread containing the info. All unresolved complaints should be bumped up to the forum mods (me or Rusty White) for resolution. Posts older than 30 days will be deleted to avoid confusion.

     

    Rusty and I will moderate this forum and hope it'll give members yet another benefit to membership. The old vendors forum has been removed and any info about new products should be directed to Dave Morrissette and Steve Collins, moderators of the Coming Attractions forum in the general membership area.

     

    Thanks, I hope you enjoy this new forum.

  4. I've added some new emoticons to the mix for those of you have been pestering me about adding some military emoticons for forum use.

     

    I know I need to find some jets/airplanes to add to this list. If you have a source for free emoticons that fit the bill, please send me a PM or email and I'll see what I can do to add them!

     

    Enjoy!

  5. First VP Steve Collins has asked that I create a new forum for him to use to announce the latest news from hobby manufacturers. That new forum is called "coming attractions" and can be found in the general modeling area of the forums. Only Steve and Dave Morrissette will be able to post new items to the forum but all members will be able to comment and ask questions. That forum goes online 10/31/2011.
