Mike contact me at mjnoel@netzero.com I am interested in your site.

tanker42,
i don't think Mike posts here. Robert Foster posted his mail from another site.
there may be contact info at AFV interiors some where:
http://afvinteriors.hobbyvista.com/

Thanks I sent him an e-mail I just hope I can help this would be a terrible loss
to all of us.This resource needs to be available in some form.

well, good luck, and i appreciate you trying.
i just got the feeling he was packing it in for good this time.

Been lurking for a while, but I had to post on this one...

There is a REALLY good shareware program that will allow you to make a backup copy of the AFV Interiors site. I'm using a Mac and OSX, but it's also available for Windows. You can download a copy at the following:

http://www.pagesucker.com/

What this program does is collect all the photos and art and text for EACH page and saves it into an archive. Once done, you burn a copy of the archive to CD. With this archive, you can use your favorite web browser to look surf AFV Interiors site on your CD drive (or hard drive). All the various sub-pages (Parts 1, 2, 3, 4) work and even the links to other websites such as Nellis AFB. The AFV Interiors site is about 193MB complete, so you'll need a speedy connection.

Back to the depths....

Black-n-Tan,
welcome to the (surface of the) forum!
thanks for posting this info.
i will have to look into it. sounds like an interesting product.
i have downloaded the pages as archives (mhtm format, i think)
but i don't think any of the links still work.
it is more like having a jpg of the page.
but it should suit my purposes for now anyway.

Thanks for the welcome. I'm currently an armchair builder, no time, no room, baby on the loose. But someday, "soon," I'll be building again. In the meantime, I'm just amassing research material and planning projects in my mind.

The other benefit I failed to mention about the program is the minimal amount of work involved. Simply enter the web address, tell the application where to save the files and you're done. It does all the work for you while you get a cup of coffee (I'm on a T1 line at work and it took about 20 minutes). No further interaction is required, so you could do this overnight on a dial up connection if need be.

Slick as a whistle.

I have cable, took a little less time. 193MB.

Very Cool.

hmmpf!
wish you had spoke up a few days a go before i did it page by page,
merryily 'save as' ing !

live & learn!


way to keep your mind in the hobby while you are not building, Black-n-Tan!
i spend a good deal of time 'working' on models i can't build yet while i am at the office.
love to look at other folks builds online and get ideas & inspiration.

I was planning on doing the same as you, wildwilliam, but my web browser, Safari, refused to cooperate. It wouldn't embed the photos and saving as pdf's was splitting the images. So I was forced to look at other options and with the help of some kind souls on another bulletin board, discovered this gem of a program. Otherwise, I'd still be saving...

;-)

Looks like a neat little program...always amazing what's out there if you know where to look. Going to use it right now and save it off to my thumb drive.

Hey, that's a good find Black-n-Tan. Thanks for sharing.

Worked like a charm...took about 15 minutes and I've got the whole thing...thanks again for the reference B&T!
