• 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.

    SS in Italian winter camo

    So from what I have read the italian winter camo was rare but I have always like this style of camo so wanted to do a figure based on it. The camo is from one of the ITPT sets which I then used a oil wash to blend the colors and knock down the sharp contrast between the colors. The helmet...

    What to use to fill in joints

    What do you use when you fill in body joints to get a more realistic limb? Items like wrist, elbows, neck? I have a couple of figures I want to do this with but looks like most of the better stuff requires baking to harden. What air dry clays or other material do you recommend for this use...
