    Happy birthday Mr Zathros

    Happy Birthday!!! O Fearless Leader, we don't really consider the hard work that you do every day to keep the site up and running on an even keel, answering and encouraging all the posters, watching our collective backs against all the cretins who would invade our little haven of paper...

    Windows 8

    Hi Zathros, I still have my old copy of DVD Ripper which works with this new Windows edition amazingly. It peels DVD's apart so you can do pretty much what you please with them. The Power DVD 12 was just a nod to get the freebie Windows Media Center set up working with 8 as it did for me...

    Electric Locomotive E94 »German Crocodile« in 1/38 scale.

    Yes sir, that came out looking great. The catenary is going to be a real work of art and a fitting accessory to go with the model and track. Will keep a weather eye out for it when completed.

    I don't know about doing the Viking Funeral trip with them but he does build a nice clean model although a little on the tiny scale size for my tastes. Thanks for sharing buddy.

    Storm Talon

    More excellent tips, like your method of motor tool and sandpaper shaping. I have used it myself on more than one occasion and media type and it works great. It is the modelers miniature lathe/drill press/machining tool. Good luck with your commission, making money is a whole lot more...

    Windows 8

    Hi Zathros, Well I just snagged a copy of Power DVD 12 from a buddy and used it. Celebrated by watching an episode of Farscape. ;) So now I am all set and percolating along with the new operating system, checking out all the bells and whistles. So far nothing jarring seems to be jumping...

    Windows 8

    Hi Zathros, I downloaded and installed Windows 8 successfully. Admittedly, like every other upgrade that I have had to deal with it seemed to take forever for all the little bits and bobs to get downloaded and assemble themselves in the proper order and places. It hasn't erased anything from...

    Windows 8

    Well so far it sort of seems like a bit of a snooze while waiting for all the stuff to load, sort itself out and fiddle around. Then there was the finding out where everything went. Then there was the jumping through hoops of digging up enough E Mail Addresses to make it happy and prove that I...

    Windows 8

    Hi All, Being of generally unsound mind and doubtful sanity, I have decided to become an early adopter of Windows 8. The main reasoning behind this is everytime they come up with a new operating system I usually waited until as long as a year before jumping in figuring that they would get...

    Hi Zathros, Glad to hear that ya'll and yours made it through the weather okay. I feel for all those poor folks that had to endure that mess and the months if not years that it will take to actually recover from it all. Having grown up in Arkansas in our states' "Tornado Alley" I can...

    Tinkering Around With Water Colors

    Hi Zathros, I like it, a fly by past a critter. I guess not everyone sees things quite the same. I originally thought about using the water colors as a way to enhance the edges and spots on my card models. While it might work for a few things, I soon came to the realization that most...

    Fat Man (F31) at 1/24

    Hi Nando, That is some excellent workmanship in the layout and design of this project. Those tires and wheels look better than some car and truck model designs that I have paid money for.:thumb:

    Tinkering Around With Water Colors

    Hi MIcah, Ah well, sounds like it was a good cause since you got a "2 fer" out of it. sign1 Growing up with a 4 kid Navy house hold, you can imagine the hijinx that we got up to. My old Dad was glad that he got to put to sea as often as he did.:thumb:

    Tinkering Around With Water Colors

    Hi All, After shooting photos for my projects in card models for more than a few years now it dawned on me that I was missing something that I used to use all the time with my styrene models. I will admit that I do sort of have a reason aside from just plain forgetting about it, I usually...

    Armorman's Dark Eldar Venom build

    WOW! That's inspiring me to a sense of awe at the great job you did. Never did think about trying hot melt glue to make an explosion effect, but it sure does add a dramatic turn to your little viginette.
