• Pardon the dust while the boys rebuild the site.

    The board will be in a state of disarray as I get things sorted out, for a little while at least.

    The new incarnation is using Xenforo as the system software. It is much like what we are used to, with a few differences. I will see about making a FAQ to help point out the differences for the members.

     

    One IMPORTANT difference for all of us old timers is that the 'mail' system is replaced with what are called 'conversations'/

    There is no 'Inbox' or 'Out box' or 'Sent' folders anymore.

    Think of Conversations as private 'threads' or topics that don't exist in a forum, that you start with another member. NOTE: Conversations can include more than one member if you or someone else in the conversaion, likes.
    Takes a little getting used to but I am sure you all can get a hang of it.

     

    Only a slightly modified default default Xenforo style is available for now. Once the new SAG style is ready it will be available.

    All existing users should be able to login with their usernames and passwords once the site goes up.

    Thank you for your support and patience. I know it has been a loooong road.

1914 British leather gear

Started this project yesterday for one of my Machine Gun Corp figures, received the buckles and insignia from Tony Barton and thought I'd give it an attempt. Took the better part of Saturday to get this far, the back still needs to be attached and buckle tongues in place, but I thought I'd post a bit of the progress.
 
Very very nice looking leather gear, looking forward to the next set of pictures.


The lanyard reminded a incident that happened when I was in the army... this officer from the Lincoln and Wellington Regiment had lost his pistol and his excuse was they never issue a lanyard when he drew the pistol from stores.... talk about being stupid... Even a string or some binder twine would have alerted him the pistol had fallen out of his holster, even a lowly private would have enough brains to figure that one out
 
Nice job, Mike!

Well done on the 1914 leather equipment! It looks quite challenging from Tony's tutorial - you've pulled it off masterfully though!

I like his service cap as well!

Looks very very good to me. The buttons on his tunic really stand out as well. You've done a nice job on forming his service cap as well.
