Thanks Richard! I must say, your fantastic RNZAF skyhawk decal sheet has served as inspiration for more than a few of my profiles. Chris

Here are some RNZAF Harrier profiles at the request of jynski. Chris

Well a shuttle in low earth orbit is moving at about 8km/s, so you'd have to catch the end of the rope first! Then if you do grab it hard enough to cancel all it's forward velocity, you've just killed the velocity that was allowing it to maintain orbit and it's going to fall straight down. Chris

Canada investigates mass sled dog slaughter
ChristopherC replied to Ro-Gar Hobbies's topic in General Discussion
Absolutely disgusting! Cruelty issues aside, I wonder why they didn't just try and sell the dogs. They're worth a small fortune around here. Chris -
Here are a couple of whiff F/A-18 profiles I've put together lately Chris

Excited about the Strike Eagle and Super Hornet! Chris -
Thank You Hannants for your UNSAFE website....
ChristopherC replied to Rafael Winter's topic in General Discussion
So now it will forever be Hannants fault when a modeller suffers credit card fraud. Unfortunately CC fraud isn't exactly rare. Unless Hannants was the only place you used the card you can't automatically assume they're to blame. Chris -
Do you mean Carbonite? I've got about 125Gb backed up offsite with it. Between Carbonite and time machine I'm pretty much covered backup wise. Chris

If the "click of death" is being caused by mechanical damage then there's not much you can do other than send it off to the specialists who work in clean rooms. Very pricey. However, the clicking can also be caused by bad sectors on the hard disk. If this is the case it's possible for you to recover the data yourself. I recommend a program called "Spinrite" from GRC. At ~$90 it's not cheap, but it's nothing compared to sending you disk away to the specialists. It's probably what they'd run on your disk anyway (before they try taking it apart). Anyway, if anything can recover you data I recko

Pretty sweet video. But for some reason this sprang to mind when I watched it: Chris

If you can't provide a valid reason for not voting you get fined $20. Though I'm not sure how zealous they are about enforcing this. Also, if you don't put your name on the electoral roll in the first place I don't know how they can tell you didn't vote. Anyway, you can always deliberately mess up your ballot. A record number of people voted informal (~5%) at the last Federal election, in some electorates is was as high as ~20%. Chris

Starcraft II rant - no free demo? Are you kiddin' me?
ChristopherC replied to ChernayaAkula's topic in General Discussion
In my opinion, restricting someone from reselling a good that they have paid for is ridiculous and would not be tolerated in any other market. There would be no more pawn shows, second hand book shops, and Ebay would have never been created if it were the case. Chris -
Here are some Mirage G8 profiles I've been working on.

Check out the previous page. Chris

This is nuts.... I'm being stalked

Just block flash and selectively enable it where you want it. It will get rid of a whole class of annoying ads, and generally make pages load faster. Firefox extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/433/ Chrome extension: http://www.chromeextensions.org/appearance...ing/flashblock/ Chris -
Have you tried changing your flash privacy settings? This link below takes you to Adobe's website where you can change some of these settings. http://www.macromedia.com/support/document..._manager06.html Or you could just block flash content. I use the FlashBlock extension for Chrome to block all flash content and create exceptions for what I do want to see (youtube etc). It replaces all flash content with a square that you can then click if you want to load it. Makes the web a lot faster. There's a similar extension available for Firefox and I think even Safari. Hope this helps, Chris

Great video, thanks for sharing that! Sad we won't be seeing the F-111 again. The last time I saw it was at Avalon 2009, it was spectacular. Chris

Always thrilled to see one of my profiles come to life. Looks fantastic so far, can't wait to see in finished! Chris

This almost fits the bill! I did this RAAF two seater A-10 as part of an alternate history a little while back: Chris

Here's an F-8E in old school CAF markings. Chris

Grumman A6E Intruder "Desert Storm" - Dragon 1/144
ChristopherC replied to Lucas's topic in In-Progress Pics
Very nice work Lucas! I love the details you included, like the remove before flight tags. The figures are also very nicely done. What manufacturer are the figures? IMHO that title belongs to their F-16 and I think they know it. Notice how they haven't bothered to re-release it? Chris -
I just thin my mr hobby paints with methylated spirits. Works fine for me. Chris
