• 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.

    Sherman hull texturing

    Here's the main hull and turret painting and texturing. The colors don't show fully true due to my lighting. The hull is a little greener than shown and some highlights show way too green, but you'll get the general idea of where i'm going. This is all brush painting.

    Sherman: stars

    I wanted to do painted stars so; starting with a Berol template I then dabble on a layer of white mixed with a flattener, it's a soft or off-white. and there it is.

    Well since I am now cash poor, after purchasing my DML Sherman, and the wife said, no more suprise packages from Fedex are allowed...lol, I decided to do a quick fix to the DML Sherman's coupola.

    DML Sherman's black track pad

    I'm bit unsure whether to spray gunmetal on my DML sherman's black track pad 'cos DML released their Sherman protype on last year which showed their sherman track pad in gunmetal colour.

    DML Sherman Hatch Cover Part 2

    As posted previously, applying moderate force will pop the hull hatch covers on the Sherman. Another quick fix to make the hatches open and close on its own hinge is fairly easy. After you pop the hatch, take an X-acto knife and carefully cut into the middle part of the Sherman's existing...

    .50cal MG Mount DML Sherman

    I've been looking over the Sherman - and I'm wondering where I'm going to mount the .50cal mg. The 1/35 model kit includes the MG and has the mount on the commanders coupla. I know the 1/35 kit was a Smart Kit - so it had some variations for the build. I'm wondering if anyone has some...
