I think this subject is about dead and clearly not modeling related anymore.

Cheers, Aaron

Not sure what 'Columbus day' is about yet have fun. Toast

 

 

It's the celebration of the day the natives discovered Columbus!Toast

I feel awkward celebrating a holiday where a man claimed to find a country that was already found and treated indigenous people poorly... What? 25% off kits all weekend? Hell yeah Columbus Day!

'Strange things are done at the keyboard for fun by the men who toil with models.

The midday sun should inspire one to take up a outdoor dare or even yard care,

You can almost bet the dust ain't settled yet before the paint leaves the bottle!

Although good intent is often bent without offering a mere decal to spare.

The regulars have found decent folks around the FSM forums stick it out!

No need to leave or spin and weave a silk purse out of a sows ear,

'Cause the internet is no reason to get bent, the screen can't hear you shout!

On to other topics friends, it came to a end the day Aaron cremated the O+E.

Never saw Fort Riley.  I was with our reinforced, forward deployed brigade based in Germany.  The only permanent duty station I saw stateside was Fort Carson, Colorado right after the Gulf War.

We had a cool training area there called Pinon Canyon.  Peyote grew wild there!  ;)  Between that and the little bottles of Robotussin we'd get from the medics it's a wonder I've got any brain cells left!  Cool

I missed the event and can only imagine the damage done to spectators and new members watching from the side lines.

You'd have to imagine it, Sup-Fire, since it's more than likely that the "damage" was indeed, imaginary... Dunno what folks got so all uptight about "damage".... I don't want to open another arguement, but I must state for the record that statements like that bug hell outta me... I only KNOW of one member that popped smoke and called for extraction directly attributed to the O&E forum (due to it's demise, however, not it's existence)... I read waayyy more tear-stained and drawn-out good-byes from members over the forum's last change of format than anything written/argued about in O&E... Heck, I still read about it here & there...

Granted, there were some threads that were "punch/counter-punch", but as I pointed out earlier in the fallout dump, there are 21 ENTIRELY MODEL-RELATED forums in this website... Some folks were acting like there were absolutely NO other places to to ask and answer all things modeling...

And, some of the most prolific protesters of its very existance were also some of its most prolific posters in it...  As the poet said, "That's the fact, Jack"...Wink

Who's got time to post when there's these to be finished:

  • Trumpy 1/32 F4F-3
  • DML 1/35 Pz. IV H, StuG IV and JagdPanzer
  • DML 1/32 Bf 109E, Hase Bf109E and Eduard Bf109E
  • Tamiya 1/48 Spitfire

Someday, I'll get back to the twin-engined bombers at the back of the hanger too.

Can't build at work

Can't build while waiting for the kids to fall asleep...

Can't paint when the bench is dismantled for the move...

Jason! You've got your hands full on the homefront, probably shouldn't mix that with exacto knives & solvents anyway! Looking forward to your impending return.

From the imploding O+E forum?

I missed the event and can only imagine the damage done to spectators and new members watching from the side lines. Parties are better when a live grenade is NOT tossed into the room.

Regardless have not been building models this summer hence nothing to add to a modeling forum. AutomobileTravel

Needless to say hope this situation will turn around as I have the building desire to soldier model on!Geeked

Carry on styrene soldiers, will be around once production resumes!Yes
