• 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.

    Phantom Lovers

    LOW FLIGHT Oh! I’ve slipped through the swirling clouds of dust, a few feet from the dirt. I’ve flown the Phantom low enough to make my bottom hurt. I’ve TFO’ed the deserts, hills, valleys and mountains, too. Frolicked in the trees where only flying squirrels flew; chased a frightened cow...

    Panzer II 20mm gun question

    Was the 20 mm gun in the Panzer II loaded from the right side or the left??? I can't seem to find any info on it or any pictures. With the elevation mechanism on the left it would seem logical to load from the right side of the gun. I have found some information saying there was a "gurtsack"...

    Been working on my Flak 38 part 5

    The original model has the four spoked knobs. The real ones had shorter spokes than the ones Dragon made. Again most pictures I found had knobs like the ones I made and replaced everywhere the spoked ones had been. I also made the handles on the wheels rotate using some sheet styrene and 0-80...

    Been working on my Flak 38 part 4

    The next batch of pictures pretty much explain them selves. The control box was redone to look the way it should have been. The storage bin is started but the lid has not been made yet. The gunners seat did get a lot of work! The seat back extends and retracts. It is adjustable and locks down...

    Been working on my Flak 38 part 3

    Next challenge was the left side floor. There are 2 brackets that I could not find a use for and in the extensive research only found one or two pictures showing them so I removed them! Then drilled out a large hole where they had been. Then I made a loop of clay and poured some mold rubber in...

    Been working on my Flak 38 part 2

    Next I found the battery box in front wasn't up to my standards so I removed it and made a back for it and working hinged lid. The latches it came with work as a friction lock of sorts. I also worked on the travel lock for the gun. The original is too long and does nothing for the gun. The...

    Stripping paint from plastic

    What do you guys use to strip paint off of plastic?? I used to use Oven Cleaner but it seems that it's not cutting it. The formula may have changed over the years to make it less toxic so now I need some other ideas. I don't want to use anything that may eat into the plastic so lets hear some...
