    Blazing Angels

    I had a few subscriptions to Jane's Military a while back but like many things I had it either slipped by, were lost in an accident or simply couldn't find the time to enjoy it as per the turbulence in my current lifestyle. I still have the old Jane's Classics on the PC such as A-10, IAF, WWII...

    Something crazy

    Intense genius or intense madness. Only time will tell. I have a nasty habit of letting my ideas to get absurdly impractical. :boom:

    Something crazy

    I ordered some off the internet the other day and I'll be testing it out this weekend. The idea here is if I can machine it then it'll be a perfect "negative" mold for the clay moldings that I happen to have in abundance at the moment. It sounds impractical at first but there is a method to my...

    Blazing Angels

    For the longest time I played Crimson Skies on the original Xbox, played it to death but it wasn't quite nothing like the tabletop games. Was a huge fan of the Devastator mainly for its solid stats and built one or two models in the past that were lost like many other projects from a tragic...

    Greetings

    Happy Thanksgiving indeed. A Mass Effect fan you say? This is refreshing and also... "I'm commander shepard and this my favorite forum on the Citadel"

    what are you thankful for?

    I'm thankful for family, health and the stability in life I have for the moment. I enjoy it while I still have it all because these things have the perchance for fleeting...

    Scratch built Mi 24: Alpha build

    Very nicely done. I thought I was seeing things until I read closely that you hand drew the design. Wow. I don't have the steady hand or the patience to pull that off. Yes, very well done indeed. Mi 24, man those things are like flying friggin' tanks!

    Heaven is Now Richer

    I always wondered who that was in your avatar. My deepest condolences to you he was blessed by your friendship. It is said if you made one good friend in your life time then you done well and I think you more than met that threshold. He was lucky to have you as a friend. May his peace be upon...

    Good to hear you're sticking around for the long haul. Be well.

    No one cares about infantry

    I had a feeling that was some of the reasons why in game design that is a trend since you don't exactly see human life lost versus vehicles being blown up even though when you think about it the personnel inside are getting killed but you're not seeing just people getting chewed up in a vicious...

    Something crazy

    I decided after some research and asking around in a few forums that melting aluminium foil isn't such a good idea after all considering the hazards involved I've gone back to the drawing board. I was trying something a little more durable than clay and less expensive than resin. I may have to...

    No one cares about infantry

    I have grown tired of some of the latest trend in RTS games coming out more focused on tank (or vehicle) spamming than having a well balanced force of armored vehicles, infantry and army aviation aircraft. Is it just me or is this trend creeping into the miniature tabletop genre as well...

    Something crazy

    Since it isn't cheating or considered heresy by another thread I posted a while back to use materials other than cardstock I am toying with the idea of melting down aluminium foil to be smelted and poured into a cast. I do have access to a small ceramic oven of sorts to melt used aluminium...

    Chip of Fiddlers Green

    His work was and still is inspiring and honestly one of the few catalysts that got me into the hobby full bore. It showed me that you're never too young or never too old to get into paper modeling! I agree with Zathros, the card modeling community here in the US has lost its founding father, a...

    A late Thank You and Apology

    Thank you and this is why I keep coming back to Zealot for its unmatched hospitality. I'll be getting some much deserved free time after the holiday rush as this year draws closer to its end. What I cannot create on my free time I think up designs in my head and sketch them on paper for later...
