Sometimes when I click to open a thread for viewing, from the various forum index/list page, the date/time stamp does not appear in the response header bars. Here's the date/time stamp I mean: Sometimes, that does not appear when the page loads. If I refresh the page (eg, with F5, or the...

Is there a way to disable the additional confirmation that we have to respond to, when we choose to "Like" a post? I looked in my profile for anything, like a preference, that would allow me to turn it off, but I haven't found anything yet. If it is a forum-wide setting, I'd like to suggest...

I don't know if anyone else has run into this-I'm running on a Lenovo ideapad 110, Win10, running Firefox 67.0. Right now, the Reply feature is disabled for me-the text box is not enabled, I cannot see a cursor in it nor type any characters. I tried accessing the forum using Chrome, and...

OK, here's the last one that I finished, during the forum's dark time. This is the old Revell P-39 Airacobra in 1/72. Simple kit, older than I am, I think. This time, I had volunteered to do a demo on applying decals, and I grabbed this kit to finish it up to the point of apply decals. It...

Well, it's the old Frog kit, really. I didn't know that at the time, but when I learned that Academy reboxed that old kit, it explained a lot. I got this as the "get one" in a "buy one-get one free" sale at my local HobbyTown. The kit I bought was the Tom Daniel Red Baron hot rod from...

Trying to remember where I left off posting my airplane builds here. I don't think I posted this build before the site went dark. I did a side-by-side build of the old Monogram and the ICM P-51B kits, because I like the P-51B, and I was curious to see how both companies tackled engineering the...

Well, now that Scale Model Addict is back in business, I can show that I was busy in the meantime, and actually do finish a kit occasionally. Here is my latest, Nitto's old Gustav kit. I started this on a Saturday in March, and finished it over three weekends. I wanted to have something...

Here's another rare subject, now available in kit form, the US Navy's Great Lakes training carrier, USS Wolverine, from Blue Ridge Models: http://freetimehobbies.com/1-700-blue-ridge-models-uss-wolverine-ix-64-model-kit/ It's in resin, with PE details. I don't think she's ever been kitted...

Well, I'm calling this one finished, my first completed kit of 2016. This is Hasegawa's kit of the "Humanoid Unmanned Interceptor P.H.J 101 'Grosser Hund' ", from the Maschinen Krieger series. It's an armored combat chassis, with an artificial intelligence system. In the MaK storyline, this...

Good evening, everyone! Here is a look inside the box, at Aoshima's (relatively) new kit of the USS Wasp (CV-7). Let's start with the box. I bought the boxing that depicts the Wasp at the time of her loss, during the Guadalcanal campaign: The box art shows her in flames after taking...

Hi, all, I'm getting my SMA posting caught up with my threads over at Agape Models (http://agapemodels.com/forums/), and I'd like to share this in-progress build with y'all. This is a pair of Wildcats, the Hobby Boss and Monogram kits. Both were given to me by friends--Hobby Boss by my buddy...

Hi, all, It's high time I shared with you another of my many irons in the modeling fire. This is my second build from the Maschinen Krieger world, the Armored Fighting Suit Mk I. In the MaK story line, it was the first fully powered armored suit used by the mercenaries in their war against...

Hi, all, I am seeing slow performance on the forum now, specifically when I add a post to a thread. That is, when I click Post, the browser page hangs. I use IE9, and this only started in the past week or so. I clear my browser cache relatively frequently, since this is my work machine, but...

Hi, all! I've finally finished another build, which I'd like to share. I've also posted this in Agape's "Finish What You Started" fellowship build. This time, it's Monogram's SBD kit, which I finished as an Army Air Force A-24 Banshee. This was a kit that I identified back in 2008 as one of...

Well, I finally finished something else, a pair of Italian fighters in 1/72, the Italeri Reggiane Re2001, and Airfix' Fiat G50. I had intended these to be quick builds, but we all know how that usually turns out. I picked up these kits for a song, the G50 at the MFCA show, for $5, and the Re...

Good afternoon, all! I'd like to share with you a new figure kit, just recently released by Michael von Kolpinsky of Germany, in his "Bunter Rock" catalog. The kit is "Crown Prince Frederick", and it depicts Frederick the Great as a young man, enjoying one of his favorite pursuits, reading...

Hi, all! This is my entry in the Sci-Fi Fellowship Build at Agape, and I'd like to share it with y'all, too. For those of you who have seen it over there, I apologize for any repetitiveness, repetitiveness, I apologize for any repetitiveness...(here's where Ralph would hit Norton over the head...

Hi, all! I completely missed this, when it aired back in 2002. A buddy of mine lent me his DVD set, after I told him about the anime "Cowboy Bebop". I watched the whole series this week, and it's excellent. From the quality of the characters and the scripts, to the backstory and the Firefly...

I think I might be losing it--there is a tendency to Alzheimer's in my mother's family. But I swear there was a thread started in the forum, over the weekend, in which we were invited to give quick modeling tips. I swear I posted to it, but now, I can't find it. Was it removed, or has...

Hi, all! We held our annual show April 29-30, our 70th, and I've finally been able to get the pics I took uploaded and organized, so here is a little tease to start everything off... These figures are in 1/6 scale by Colonel Skip Tyler, who has been a Grand Master for over 30 years. A...
