How about wire and foil? Imagine modeling each 'wing' in a computer - use the wire as a wireframe mesh for each bent surface (solder works great for this, or copper wire) and then 'wrap' the frame with thin foil (think wine bottle foil.) You can then bend and smooth the foil until it is taught...

You're not joking! I was a relative latecomer to the Xbox multiplayer experience, and I have to say I'm repeatedly amazed at some of the comments you hear over the net...

Read: executed!

Very impressive - I've enjoyed following the progress here!

I've heard much about this book - I notice Parshall is one of the speakers that is lined up for the conference you mentioned. I think I'm going to have to add this to my list for the winter. I confess that at the time of the presentation my primary goal was simply to show the opposing orders of...

Not the game "destiny," right?

Best of luck! Any preferences on what type you qualify for?

Just wanted to say that I've really enjoyed this new string of news updates and appreciate the hard work and presentation that goes into them! Next time I have a chance I'll have to photograph my collection of 1/700 scale warships. I'm no historian - but DID do the Battle of Midway for my honors...

Great thread - I've been curious at this myself. I'm currently with the Army Reserve as a commissioned officer and have been in the service in one capacity or another for almost ten years. Though I fly in the civilian world I'm MI in the service - that's a long story in and of itself. I...

Outstanding! We may cross paths as well. Post pics if you get the chance!

I have to admit LOAF, she looks prettier on the inside than I thought. I was kind of preparing for the worst...

what are the odds?!

2x in a row it's been on a drill weekend. Miserable luck.

Yes, of course - but I think it's important to make a distinction between navalized 'bombers' like the Avenger attacking mobile ships at sea versus B-29's making a high level raid on a stationary factory. IMO we fly the former in WC. Obvious examples are the Crossbow, Longbow, etc. (Granted, the...

:rolleyes: Don't lie now - there's something strangely satisfying about leading the killboard. This sounds suspiciously like the famous "I buy them for the articles, not the pictures!" :) @Shaggy - That's an interesting point regarding whether or not capital ship kills counted historically. I...

Proving once again my theory that all attics point to Hanoi.

Ha, that's why I left Waltham Taxachusetts for beautiful, scenic Nanuet NY ;) Well, that and my job and the service, but you get the idea...

First of all, that is extremely impressive - she's a real beauty! As for the panel lines, this happens to me often when I am trying to fill in gap lines between parts on models - I use a scribe tool to just re-add them, but I used to just use an Xacto knife and a straight edge - they don't have...

Me neither - is it just because of the obvious, or is there more backstory?

A John McCain action figure? Wow - I had no idea that existed. Can you get the "I just bailed out" version?! OK, at this point it sounds like you two need to start writing notes to yourselves regarding what's been shipped! (Though I must admit that the last time I was home I yelled at my...
