Thanks to all who made this happen.

To all members of the forum. If I can answer the question you post I will. I trust you will do the same.

Cheers;

Thanks for the forum guys! And I think prefixing posts with the relevant subject matter is a good idea too

In the queue: 1/48 Beech Staggerwing (RAAF), P38 (RAAF), Vultee Vengeance (RAAF), Spitfire Vb (Malta), Spitfire VIII x2 (RAAF), P39 x2 (RAAF), Martin Baltimore (Malta?), Martin Maryland (Malta), Typhoon NF1b, Hellcat x2 (FAA)

This is great!

Here's a list of some of my favs (outside of hitting blackwolf up for some pics in his collection) Big Smile [:D]:

Lawrence - As mentioned bravo on working with the peeps in the forum to make this available. Half the fun of this hobby is in the discovery of learning. I can see it becoming quite an exchange of knowledge. Hmmm... Knowledge Exchange... oops cannot use that... Accenture already has that term reserved for their in-house knowledge management system. Anyway, not sure if this could be broken up any further , but I see it becoming primarily posts of requests and posts of references. Maybe an RFI (Request For Information) sub-section and a Bookshelf sub-section? Just a thought. Perhaps recomended practices, (i.e., for RFI's preceed the post heading with the term RFI, like this RFI: Pictures of the USAAF Martin XA-22).

I like David's (He lives!!!) idea. Makes for a more organized forum... but what headers will we use (for the sake of uniformity)?

I think David has a great idea so we don't have to search through a ton of posts to find what is important to us.

Let's work with him to make this ahppen.

Lawrence, it looks like you made some people happy today. Smile [:)]

A suggestion I'll toss out there...

Right now there isn't any segragation by aircraft, armor, etc. What does everyone think about including something in the subject/title about the subject and/or type?

Examples
[ARMOR] Tiger Links
[AIRCRAFT] F-105G reference pics

Ideally it would be great to provide a way to identify resources by subject (Armor, Aircraft, etc.) and type of resource (book, link, photo). I have a couple of ideas, however our project schedules are pretty well booked solid for the next couple of months and then some. So in the meantime maybe this would help or maybe not. I haven't been keeping up so I might be missing the point of the reference forum.

Don't forget there is also a links section on the website. While it's not a vast exhaustive list of links, some may find it useful.

I have to agree. This forum is a gathering place for a huge amount of information and knowledge.

But .. since you asked:

First off, thank you LawrenceBow [bow]Bow [bow]

Second, congratulations monrad, your patience paid offApprove [^]

Now the most recent reference I had a chance to use was aircraft three views. I'm buildiing a model of the FJ-Fury that has no front view so I needed to know what the wing angles were as they don't fit that well. I got my answer by asking where I coud get it and somone directed me to that web siteCool [8D]

From the support this idea received it will soon be full of good informationBig Smile [:D]

Welcome to our new References Forum!
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, May 4, 2004 10:58 AM
A number of Forum members requested a special place to share info about reference data (websites, books, videos, whatever) about modeling subjects. Let's give it a try. For now, we're not going to segregate the discussion by aircraft, armor, figures, etc. That may come later. So......

What's the most useful reference you've used lately?
