    Starship Troopers Power Armor

    I always love projects where I can adapt an object from a book. It's sort of like a puzzle - to pick apart the text and to figure out how it all fits together in describing said object, and possibly even figure out what exactly the author was thinking of. This time, I'm doing a piece of...

    DIs and NCOs, how do you scream?

    Thanks!! Should I try to talk in a 'normal' voice? Also; their INDOC is still going on, so Mr. Whispers here still has to shout like all heck... That said, also I guess we're still trying to find that happy medium where we've finally broken them down, and now we have to build them back up...any...

    DIs and NCOs, how do you scream?

    Sooooo....I'm a squad leader for some new cadets coming in (essentially Cadet DI)...aaand already three days in my voice is gone... Long story short, any DIs or NCOs here have any advice on how to regain my voice and/or continue shouting/projecting my voice effectively?

    Robocop 2014 - XT908 UCAV

    The original Robocop was always one of my favorite films when I was a kid; I always had fond memories of watching the film on TV with my Dad - though in retrospect why the hell he let me watch a movie partly known for its violence and language is beyond me. When the 2014 remake of Robocop came...

    The Merchant Marine and Stolen Valor

    Honestly, I don't see any much difference for you, haha. You signed on with the intent to serve and put yourself in harm's way, and your knee injury was simply an unforeseen event; while you may not have been through what some of your brothers have been through, and while you may not have seen...

    The Merchant Marine and Stolen Valor

    Oh, I'm well aware of the FB page, haha. But yeah, thanks for helping to clarify! I guess my whole 'insecurity' over the whole thing would just be how often USMM and military collaborate and/or overlap, and the confusion that may ensue. Maybe I'm just inexperienced enough yet to see if I am...

    The Merchant Marine and Stolen Valor

    Now before I actually pose my question, I might as well set a bit of context. As some of you may know, I am currently enrolled at a Maritime Academy with the intention of being an officer (unlimited tonnage) in the U.S. Merchant Marine. Now obviously, the USMM is, generally speaking, a civilian...

    Star Wars Rebels - TIE Fighter Early Production

    Haha, all we use are M1's, but damned if they don't feel heavy at times...not to mention the practice rifles we use are probably twice as heavy as the real thing, I'd say. But thanks for the love for the model!! Y'all can now download it here: http://fav.me/d8my5d5

    Star Wars Rebels - TIE Fighter Early Production

    And, as a further nod to the design of the 'new-old' TIE, I designed the cover page in the Kenner-style packaging! I'll upload the model tonight hopefully.

    Star Wars Rebels - TIE Fighter Early Production

    and the internet's finally good enough to upload the final pics!! Personally, I like the dimensions of the Rebels TIE fighter and how they based it off of Ralph McQuarrie's concept art (which in turn was based off the Kenner toy...and even that is pretty awesome)

    Star Wars Rebels - TIE Fighter Early Production

    Well, after having to deal with surgery resulting from what I assume was a military drill accident (read: me being clumsy enough to hurt myself by just holding a damn rifle!), I had to nix the N/S Savannah model. But hey, I'm back! And what better way to ring in my modeling year of 2015 than...

    N/S Savannah - 1:1000 scale

    Damn, that looks nice!! Hull forms (or at least organic shapes) are complicated as all hell for me, haha; hopefully I'll figure out my own way soon enough, but thanks for showing me, Zathros!! I finished the model about a week ago, but my battalion's wifi is reeeaaaallly slow, so I wasn't able...

    N/S Savannah - 1:1000 scale

    Well, haven't posted a thread in a long while! ...then again, it's mostly due to schoolwork and my dorm's terrible wifi :P BUT, for whatever reasons, the Machine God has smiled upon me and allowed me to upload a few screenshots of my next model, the N.S. Savannah. I had a bit of fun designing...
