I disable it. though sometimes I forget. It took a while to think of that stupid feature after numerous times at a traffic light where the light goes green and the car in front of me doesn't move. Now, along with thinking the driver isn't paying attention, I have to think that perhaps he has...

That looks similar to a material that one of the guys in our Delaware Scale Modelers uses on his ocean bases. It's textured a little like fine waves, like ocean waves viewed from about 1000 feet in the air, and he uses it with his 1/700 scale ships. I believe it has an adhesive backing. Now...

I agree about a connection between increases in communicable diseases and increased illegal immigration. I have heard no one mention this in any mainstream media stories on increases in measles, or other diseases, for that matter. And back during the previous administration, there was no word...

Johnnybach, too, and his refurbished toy soldiers. Great work!

Like "Louie, Louie". Or most James Brown songs. 😁

I reached out to Norman Joplin, who started this thread back in 08. He confirmed that publication stopped when Ray passed away. The magazine is not officially dead, but apparently there are issues with the business and Ray's estate, that still aren't resolved. He doesn't know if there are...

With Super Bowl Ell-Ecks in our rear view mirror, I thought I'd start a new thread for the next season. The old thread actually wound up covering 24-25 and 25-26. We've already got trades, trade rumors, discussions about who was elected to the Hall of Fame, and who wasn't-plenty of hot-stove...

@Warrior , George, I just noticed you signature, I love that line! So this is for you!

I'm fairly certain they had them first, and we inherited them when the colonists brought them with them to the New World. But yeah, I wouldn't have them for breakfast. But then, our traditional breakfast items are a bit of an exception compared to things others have. For me, it's either...

That's not too far off for football, college as well as NFL, on the radio, at least. During the regular season, the Eagles pregame for a 1PM kickoff starts at 10AM on their flagship station. Same thing for Penn State. Of course, there are probably tailgate parties going on at the time and those...

Good question. The owner and publisher, Ray Haradin, passed away in 2024, but I don't know if the magazine was closed as a result. Though come to think of it, I haven't received an issue in a year. I'll see what I can find out and post back. As far as back issues go, there certainly are...

From Garratt's "World Encyclopedia of Model Soldiers": I had forgotten that he designed any figures, let alone that he did for Cavalier and Old Guard. That makes sense, though, since they were all local to each other in the NYC area. I have only seen Stadden figures that he painted, and I...

Thanks, wanted to make sure, since the post doesn't mention it, and sometimes someone will post something in the wrong forum.

Are you selling this?

No lapse in quality control. They're in Tradition's Toy Soldier style, so gloss finish but very simple detail. Tradition also has a Model Soldier catalog; those figures are based on the old Stadden custom figures, and they have a little more detail in the casting. But they're still painted to...
