                        I have finally started the reconstruction of my scalemodel webpage OUT OF THE BOX. I tried to re-do the whole background and some nav buttons. I have also started to replace the old pics with hi-res ones. A lot of work still needs to be done though. I am also trying to get better pics of my models to post in the webpage.

                        The pics shown are the kits I have built in the first year (yes I am a one year old modeler now) of kit building. The works are not great ones but...well I am just starting out and could get better. I am still working on the photography also and hope to get better pictures in time.

                        If you want to take a peek here's the link. The pics may slow down your browsing but I hope you won't mind.

                        Thanks.

                        Hey Dwight Ta-ala, I had a look around. It looks like it's going to be a great site! I tried to see the Hulk diorama but it wouldn't load. I'm going to try again later.

                        Woody: The Hulk Dio is still in progress so there are no pics yet. I just mentioned it in the main page under "What's on the Workbench." Sorry but I'll try to do it as fast as I can.
                        Thanks for trying the site.

                        Anyway, I am getting bugged with the problems of the data transfer. The site is getting cut off when there are many visitors on the site. This is a free site you know and the maximum rate allowed is quite low. So, sorry.

                        Please don't hurry on account of me. I would like a heads up when you do get it up. Hulk tearing up those tanks was about my favorite part of that flick.Cool [8D]

                        Hi guys. I am glad that you were finally able to get in. Thanks for the comments. Still need a lot of work but I am also thankful that I am getting somewhere. When our current internet provide will be able to provide the web hosting space, I will eventually move this site.

                        Thanks again.

                        What I saw looked great, Dwight. Very well done!
                        I got booted out to Yahoo Geocities after being in for about 2 minutes, though. Then I couldn't get back in.
                        I'm looking forward to taking a nice, slow cruise through the site!

                        J-hulk & Alex: Thanks for taking time to look at the site. I have a lot of plans for it like replacing all the pics with better posed-studio quality ones and a lot of other stuff. Unfortunately there is always too little time (or not at all) to do it. I guess I just have to take it a step at a time.

                        Anyway, I am glad that you did not get booted out again.

                        You may check it out (that is if Geocities has already made it available by this time.)

                        Hi Dwight! I've been to the aircraft section and sure enjoyed my visit. You know I'm build purely aircraft models and strictly in 1/72 scale. Am looking forward to seeing more. Nice job!

                        frosty: You can call me DT (actually some of my friends call me DDT from Dwight David Ta-ala). Yeah I added some animation on my sig but have to stop using it for now because it might cause some members using dial-up hard times browsing the forum. I am reducing it down to size so that it will not slow down the connection of others. As you may already know I was named after Dwight David Eisenhower and of course you know who is. Douglas (from Douglas MacArthur) is also a popular name. Actually a lot of Filipinos use American names.

                        To the rest: Thank you very much for browsing the site and bearing with Geocities booting you out. I am working on improving it and posting some more pics until I ran out of space, LOL.
