• 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.

Hi folks!

I posted most of this in "General Quarters" shortly after joing, but figured that I would stick it in the bio section just in case someone I have inadvertantly insulted wants to know who this jerk is.

I have been collecting and kit bashing / mildly customizing 1/6 figures for about a year. I collect U.S. Marines from all eras almost exclusively. This is mainly because I was (am) one for many years, and you have to draw the line somewhere. My WWII figs are coming along, but my Vietnam ones are the pride of my collection.

For the ill-informed out there, the term "leatherneck" is an old nickname for U.S. Marines. It comes from the early 19th century when Marines (among other soldiers of the Napolionic Era) wore leather "stocks" or collars around their necks. This was supposedly for protection in close combat, but had more to do with looking squared away in formation.

Other hobbies include military history, travel, and speaking German.

Semper Fi!

Just completed a trade with John. He came through on my request for Dragon's Fernando. Very much appreciated and many thanks! Can't believe I am the first to post!
