    What Annoyed You Today?

    Alamy and Pintrest annoy me. 💢💢💢💢 They throw their watermark all over pictures and want to charge me $20 to "use" them. I'm sure they didn't send their own camera crew onto a carrier to take this picture. My taxes bought this plane, the ship, and trained the pilot/RIO and crew. Reference...

    GB 61 - Carrier and Maritime Aircraft - Discussion

    I'm going to do Tomcats; and since I like contrast/history, I plan to do 2 of them. A hi-vis A and a muted D; one with wings swept and the other with wings out with flaps and leading edge extended. I have 3 DML 1/144 kits so I can attempt to cut the wings and have a fall back if it doesn't...

    Ian Huntley?

    I still have about 4 years of SAM issues from the 90's. It was like getting an encyclopedia in the mail.

    What Cheered You Up Today?

    Got a new PC to replace the one that died on Christmas Day and so far, so good. First post from it. It's got 4 led fans and a led strip around the front, perfect for a 15 year old. I :love9: it.

    What Annoyed You Today?

    My main PC stopped working on the day after Christmas. 5 seconds of flickering and then nothing. I had built it 10 years ago and was not feeling the burn to start a new project or try to figure out what was broken so I ordered a new one due (I hope) right before New Years. I have a laptop so...
