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.

Thank you for your support and patience. I know it has been a loooong road.

Looks like it was hit with an RPG. Always liked the M113, especially with all the kit that hung from every protrusion.
For the 11th anniversary of your purchase of it, will you start the construction? Hmm... $325 back in 2003. Wonder how much that is in todays' exchange rate?
It's really nice to see that others have projects sitting around for the last decade, like I do, and are still not finished.

I still have 2 of OSB 's Jason kits, the flak 38 and the Horch. The flak 38 is not usable but the horch has promise. Still in kit form. The good ole days..
I will be there, Ed. Looking forward to seeing you and hauling away some of your very nice collection.
I actually thought the basic structure didn't look too bad on this vehicle. The problem was the nature of OSB Locusts products made them both fragile and difficult to repair. And in the case of your M113 specifically I think when you got his prototype he'd already given up on the project and you ended up with a very poorly done final parts assembly. Just didn't put the effort in on fabrication he should have. I think Steve, David and Wayne all have plans for M113 parts now. So who knows what the future holds.......
It is too bad Jason got in too deep. The Maultiers that Steve got in trade came assembled and were pretty darned nice after Steve painted them. Only real problem was the cab was actually asymmetrical making the final fit difficult. Mine had a broken A-Pillar that really couldn't be easily repaired and needed to be partly disassembled. I half-assed it and it looked okay, mostly because of Steve's cammo making a great distraction. Sold mine years ago believing an improved version was coming. Well, now you can get good running gear for it from panzerwerk.
