• 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.

    Thanks Steve, Your idea is a good one however I ran out of stamina on this project. Perhaps I will tackle the B17 backdrop in the future. Much of these ideas whether they come to be, greatly depends on the availability of references.

    Yeah, the 6 pounder was scratch built. It was mostly done with polystyrene, pvc piping.

    Masters of the Air

    After watching this Apple TV series and thoroughly enjoyed it, it is natural for me to create some of the characters as I did for the Band of Brothers and The Pacific. I am sure that the historians will point out the inaccuracies of the series and that of my creations but the modelling I do is...
