• 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.

    DML Cust Serv

    Well fellas, i have to say, i have been buying DML figures and accessories since the late 1990's and have never had to use their customer service... (You could put it down to luck i suppose)...but i have never had a single issue with any of their gear. I reckon it says a lot about their initial...

    Joseph Goebbels Reich Minister of Propaganda

    I have to say folks, as good as the sculpt likeness and painting is, i simply couldn't bring myself to give these figures a place in my home either, i would see it too much like a shrine to the people the figure represents. I can stomach the military side of things, but the political figures...

    Tools of the trade????

    Have a look here at http://www.Onesixth.co.uk/vb4forum , the Old Git is documenting his Cromwell Tank build in the Blog section of this board and IIRC the first three blog entries deal with the subject of your question. It's UK based but it should give you a bit of an answer to your question...
