Nakajima A6N2 fine molds model

 Here is a teaser for my buddy Anton.  Talk about eye candy.

Passing of a Great friend Bill Parrish

 I just learned from Anton that a mutual friend has passed away.    Unfortunately I don't have the date. I met Bill Parrish via Bob Webb.   That was a friendship that lasted from the mid 70's on.  During my time in the service and many different life events we lost touch.

  Bill worked for Broughs working on computers in the 70's. He will me build my first computer. Bill and I long to a small group of gamers.  We would meet twice a month.  But the group fell apart when the automobile collapse in the late 80's.   We play 40K, Warhammer fantasy and all kinds of historical games.

   Bill was big into Korean Taekwondo.  He had became an instructor.   R.I.P. Buddy hope to meet you on the other side.

Japanese Army aircraft 1937-1940

 Felt like I should not deny the Japanese Army aircraft.   So Anton here are some Nates.  Here is a link to Anton's airwarfare game: Red stars and Rising Suns

NOVA con

 This is the ultimate con for 40k gamers.  But one should know what happened there.  Wonder why everyone was wearing mask during the con.  I got no dog in this hunt.  Just wanted to let people know what happened.

How does it make you guys and gals feel in the community, that an event took a hard line approach on mask told everyone they would be in forced, refused to refund peoples money lost over 130 attendees in just 40k alone and then open ticket sales back up? This is honestly one of the most disgusting and dishonest things that has ever been done while I have been playing this game. Here are pictures from the event. This was theft, period point blank. Moving forward every year you guys need to remember what happened.

China 19387-38 Japanese aircraft

 Posting this for my buddy Anton.  He has been a China air war with Bi-plane.  

Here are some camo schemes he could use.  Fine Models make a majority of these in 1/72 scale.

1/6 scale Clone troopers

 I never knew how large collecting there figures was.  I remember back in the 90's when modelers just started collect the WW2 1/6 figures. The long gone Old Guard Hobby shop could not keep those figurs in stock.  The video show how to make your own clone trooper.  Enjoy.

Created cavalry stands in 3d CAD

 I decide to creat new 3d printed cavalry stands. Why you say because I had a large amount of pill standd cavalry from my Baron's War army.  Dusted of my CAD skills in Fusion 360.  Create 3 and 4 cavalry slot stands.  During the process if designing the stand I opted to use 5mm diameter magnets. Why because I had a ton of the little buggers.  The magnets are a press fill, That way I didn't need to glue the magnets in place 

Half way through the print

The print run finished,

Single three slot cavalry stand,
