So I've read that Patton was impressed with the Sherman Jumbo and since not enough were available, he order his troops to cut up knocked out Sherman and weld the extra armor onto working Shermans in order make some home brewed Jumbos. Has anyone seen photos of these quicky Jumbos? Cheers

I'm a little late to the party. Vid with a better look at the kit will be up in a few days.

Either the original paints used or the ones suggested from the Finemolds kit. Well, mainly from the kit. Don't know if they are accurate, but I want to use those colors on the different project. Cheers

This is likely old news (show premiered two years ago), but I just stumbled upon this on Hulu. James May had a TV show based on old classic toys. In this episode he makes a 1:1 scale Airfix Spitfire. http://www.hulu.com/watch/323935/james-mays-toy-stories-airfix?c=Reality-and-Game-Shows#s-p2-so-i0

In two weeks I am hoping to get a chance to interview Ed Pepping for an upcoming SMA episode. Ed was in Easy Company and one of only 12 surviving members of the Band of Brothers. He served as medic and was awarded the Bronze Star. He was wounded soon after landing in Normandy, but went AWOL to...

Somewhere out there is a WW2 photo from the Pacific of a captured Japanese tank strapped onto the rear of a Sherman tank. Thought I had it saved in my personal reference stash, but apparently not. If anyone has or knows where I can find the photo, please let me know. Thanks

http://www.startrek.com/article/developing-revellundefineds-new-star-trek-model-kits Maybe this is old news, but considering I haven't see a Star Trek kit from Revell in ages, I assumed they no longer had the license. Guess they do! Two new releases are the Enterprise TOS and Klingon D-7. At...

So in general were they made of wood or metal? I was about to paint one wood grainy, but I think I'm thinking of a too early time period.

A moment for the ages! A new dawning of man! Bow down before my awesome powers!! I HAVE CREATED LIGHT!!!!!!!! Ok. It's just two LEDs crappily soldered together, but it's a start!

I was on the set of the TV show Chuck today and was rather amused by several of the crew walking around in "Nerd Herd" jackets. There was also Nerd Herd director chairs around. Sadly they were not forum members. Turns out the Chuck character works for a tech support store/group called the Nerd...

If you are all done "boxing" things, I could use some off topic help. I've recently discovered Canada's Worst Driver and I love the show but I've only been able to find seasons 5 and 6 online. I even tried finding them the legal way (shocking, huh?) and I cannot find any DVDs of the show. Any...
