• 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.

     

    If anyone has difficulties logging in please contact me at sixthvanguard@gmail.com.

     

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

    Leather Shoes, the Next Industry Standard Upgrade?

    Remember the great plastic webbing debate? Can you even imagine paying top dollar now for plastic webbing - or leggings? Elastic and velcro also went the way of the Dodo. Are plastic shoes next? The question is interesting because DiD's basic Russian comes with leather shoes. Will DML...

    Allies Don't Sell...tell that to Josh

    According to some, if you don't have your Josh by now - you may never have one. This is not because of some quirky DML marketing strategy or a "limited run" thing. Josh was a regular run figure that the hobby had a strong demand for. Not so strange considering the number of RC Stuarts flying...

    Getting it Right by Doing it Wrong

    Just about herniaed myself threading Josh Ackerman's goggles into his helmet. After I was finished, I looked up his goggles in a reference book. Darn, those things had an elastic strap in real life! Just could have popped that bad boy on and been done with it. Did DML forgo the elastic strap...

    M2 Mid-Production (WIP - Riveting)

    Here is the first completed side of my M2 I am using brass plated "escutcheon nails" #18 x 3/4 - 1-1/2oz, sounds pretty fancy, but I just picked them up at my local Target store for 99 cents a box. I nip off the head of the nail plus an 1/8th of an inch (give or take) with a heavy duty wire...

    M2 Mid-Production (WIP)

    Here is my M2. [/url][/img] It is a hybred of a 21stC WSC with Hasbro running gear. The white and grey ABS plastic is my contribution. [/url][/img] What remains is riveting, seat cushions and paint. I had done the cushions in athletic tape, but my wife insisted on doing the cushions in cloth...

    Petty Partisan Bickering...

    In the tit-for-tat relationship between DiD and DML here is a question. Which one of the mighty two will be the first to produce a partisan figure? The partisans were about as significant a fighting force as any on the Eastern Front. Futhermore, a partisan figure would be a great source for...

    Red Army "Rubber Duckie" Outfit?

    One of the new DML Soviet figures is wearing a PK wading outfit. The figure looks to be a direct copy of the illustration seen in many uniform books. In my library I was able to find two pictures of the PK suit in use. Question: How common was this? Steven Zaloga, who knows his stuff, says...

    American "Commandos"

    This latest offering from DML, American "Commando" 1944 - Lorraine Campaign, is insulting. It is a fantasy figure cobbled from a parts box and fobbed off as an original figure. If this "B" as in "B", "S" as in "S" had been pulled with a Waffen SS figure the villagers would be storming the town...

    ODGreen fka Ecmorrisesq - In Memory (1955-2005)

    This new forum doesn't like my old ezboard profile, so out with the old and in with the new. I am the hobbyist formerly know as ecmorrisesq. This will be the best of all possible worlds and I'm happy to be on board.
