• 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.

    M8 Armored Car

    Yes having proper wheels or track links are a major factor in whether I move forward with a project. Eventually my desire to build something means I have to compromise in order to proceed. Thus my Archer and Cromwell both have Panzer IV links. Some of my Armored cars have wheels that are close...

    M8 Armored Car

    Here the new model is with my old G.I. Joe Armored car. It had been sitting on loan in a local Military Museum for a few years and I pulled it out and swapped it for a better model. I tried to sell it on ebay and nobody wanted it. It is going back to the Museum permanently this time...

    M8 Armored Car

    This was the first time I used Paint masks that I found on Ebay. The come from the Czech Republic and are meant for a 1/6 Scale Sherman Tank. I think they look better painted on than using decals. (If you can get them.) [/URL][/IMG] I did just a little airbrush weathering. I think it turned out...

    M8 Armored Car

    When I got back into 1/6 Scale like 10 years back one of the early cool vehicles you could get was the G.I. Joe M8 Armored car. You soon find out that it is way under Scale So I modified mine by lowering the floor and even making a bigger turret so the figures could fit in better. I finally...

    1/6 Scale Staghound Build

    Things seam real quiet here lately. Finished my latest project a 1/6 Scale Staghound. Originally it wasn't on my project list but after seeing a couple here I thought I would try and build one from scratch. Of course it is made from Styrene. Lets see if I can get some pictures to load...

    Canadian Otter Armored Car

    Time to share my latest project. The Canadian Otter Armored car. It was a more difficult build than I thought it would be with lots of angles. I have built some German Armored cars with lots of angles too but this one seemed more difficult. I think the parent 1/35 model was of lower quality and...
