• 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.

I am not too sure about the quality of the components but from the pics they look pretty dam good for 22 bucks. Of course like most figures available in retail stores we probably won't see any W.W.II. Kind...

    “Found in crate” 1944 Willys MB Jeep to cross the block

    Pretty nice Jeep being auctioned off. Found in a crate 30 years ago. The truth is that complete factory fresh, running vehicles were crated up and shipped as SUP's, which is short for 'Single Unit Pack', or a pair of jeeps crated together as TUP's, which is short for 'Twin Unit Packs'. The...

    Odd W.W.II Memorials.

    These are all in the ex-Yugoslavia region after the government fell apart these were abandoned and are now falling apart. They are quite odd for W.W.II memorials but considering the age and how popular contemporary art was at the time I guess that is why they were designed the way they were...
