RCAFFAN Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I managed to avoid some of the site down time by staying in the hospital for about a week and a half fighting an infection. It's actually worse when you can't even visit the site and see Steve's daily attempts at keeping us informed. Got home about a week before Steve got us all back together.....

Most armor sites don't have the community feel of ARC, as armor modelers are kinda a different type (not better or worse, just more introverted maybe?). I found the armor subforums at britmodeler to be the friendliest, and the most tolerant of heretical ideas on weathering and hewing (or not) to historical accuracy.

Thanks for the info, I'll check it out. Who knows maybe this monster project will get some activity going here in the armor subs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blue and green teals. In Western Kansas near Jamestown they opened the season last weekend. It was my first go and never again will I make fun of duck hunters. I'm now shopping for decoys and a dedicated waterfowl gun...thinking Benelli SBE II. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We've got mostly wood ducks down here in SW Georgia, but the occasional mallard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Expensive to get started but I plan on keeping my guns in the family for generations. Plus, for the last 13 months we haven't bought meat in a store. Last year was so successful I managed to feed a family of 4. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
breadneck Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) Been playing around with my new 250 mm lens. Getting off the computer earlier in the evening and catch a few hours on the good ole idiotbox ;-) Good to see things are forming straight lines and everything is back online. Don`t have time to play around on other forums. This is where it`s at ! Bjørn in Norway Edited October 15, 2016 by breadneck Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm a fan of buying quality once and not having to worry about it again for years. I'm going to need more freezers though, lol! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
