• 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.

    Row Boat First Look

    Well it's taken me about a week to get it to this point. This has been a fun little project to work on and a nice change. I have some detail work left to do including the oars but it's coming up on 100 degrees here and I don't feel like sanding outside. There's also a bunch of nail heads that...

    Ahoy Matey

    I was wandering through an aisle of my local hobby shop I don't usually go down yesterday when I came across this: 1/6 Yacht Skiff. For $50, I figured I couldn't pass up a chance to build something new and different. I did a little checking and Midwest also offer this: 1/6 Rowing Dinghy...

    Reminder: The Purpose of This Section

    I'd like to remind everyone that the purpose of the Armor, Mech and Weapons Division is to showcase member projects both completed and in progress. As of late we have had far too many general questions that while they related to a piece of armor or a weapon would be better served in the General...

    Dragon Schwimmwagen / 21st Schwimmwagen Side By Side

    My Dragon schwimmer showed up today and I thought it would be interesting to do some side by side photos with my custom 21st schwimmer. Like Chet said in his post this thing STINKS. I was told it would be placed back in its box and sealed up until we move next year. Overall I think Dragon did...

    Has anyone figured out how to take the DID kettenkrad apart?

    I was just talking to another member about this today and it made me remember that I hadn’t ever gotten around to figuring this out. There are five screws on the bottom of the kettenkrad that don’t seem to serve any purpose. When they are removed the vehicle is just as sturdy as it was before...

    Who Makes the Best German "Y" Straps?

    I was working on a bash today when I realized I am completely out of Y straps. A quick look at Monkey Depot shows straps available from Dragon, New Line and Battle Gear and I know DID's got some out there as well. So whose are the most accurate and the best bang for the buck?

    War Time Photos Of German Sentry Posts?

    With the upcoming release of the German Sentry Post set from Cotsworld, I started looking for period photos. In all of the reference books I have I can't find a single picture of a little guard shack like this even though they were quite common. So does anyone have any photos in their...

    Let's See Your Hermann Weber

    There was tons of excitement about this figure when he came out but so far I've only seen one online. The smaller body presents all kinds of possibilities so let's see what you guys have done with them. I took a pretty traditional route with mine. Since the majority of my troops are late war...

    Just When You Think You've Seen It All....

    Now I normally won't post anything new from CH because I don't want to help them advertise but I just couldn't pass this one up. As a modeler I'm amazed that anyone would think this would be a viable product when you could go spend $10 at the local Ace Hardware and build one that was actually...

    No Luchs Kits for Foreseeable Future

    I have looked into several vendors for having pre-cut kits made and have not been able to find anyone that I have been satisfied with. So as of this moment, I have no intention of producing a pre-cut kit for the Luchs. There are several factors that gone into this decision but I will not go...

    Bicycle Recon

    This project was inspired by some early war photos I found with similar setups. I decided to go to the opposite end of the spectrum and do a late war version. I'll post some more pictures when the wind finally stops blowing and I can get outside into some decent light.

    Who Makes Shoulderboards? Apparently I do...

    Camo Panzer Coverall Question

    I've wanted to work up some SS tankers for a while now and I've been wondering how common the camo coveralls that came with figures like Oskar and Philipp Wagner really were? Were they issued to specific units or were they pretty standard late war items? If anyone has any references with them...
