• 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.

    New US (442) Figure from Caltek Based on Father of one of our own.

    There are more pictures in a thread over at OSW that someone else has posted and more at the Cal-Tek site and their FB page. Someone also found this link where Tim talks about his dad quite a bit: Soldier's Forum - Henry Kano, 100th Battalion, Co. B

    DiD hands

    I actually like the variety of sizes. My dad and a lot of his friends who worked in the steel mill had larger hand. If you want to get really nit-picky. Just about all the bodies for WWII are oversized. I think I remember reading that the average WWII US soldier was 5'7" and a 150 lbs.

    In kit/model form, this weapon is not longer available, but the set with the figure is still available.

    Dragon Panzer II Photo Review - Initial Thoughts

    Of the old style hatches I thought I saw 2 out of a 3 total for the B in North Africa. I was wrong about the US and British captured ones, they were C's but I thought the one captured by the British was a C without the front armor additions. It's in several of the Concord books - different...

    Dragon Panzer II Photo Review - Initial Thoughts

    Not necessarily true for DAK. I have a few sources (mostly Concourd I believe) that show some B's (most of these were after they were captured by both the Britts and the US). There were also some C's that did not have all the armor upgrades (the angular front plates) as well as still had the...
