    My wife and her best-girlfriend have a presence on eBay and have PayPal handle 99% of their transactions, that said (knock on wood) have not encountered the level of difficulty described above. I/we do frequently encounter the degree of bullheadedness as Ekuth so noted, both has occurred with...

    Buck Rogers Blaster MK-I "Buck's Blaster"

    Thanks guys, always happy to seed an interest in a new project. I still seem to think there was a 'beefier' long-arm carried by one of the extras in the rescue in the ruins of (Old) Chicago, mind the scene was very dark and shadowy at best, add in how long ago I saw the pilot episode (shown as...

    What are your favorite SiFi Film/series?

    I place that observation on at the feet of the late Dino de Laurentis, his trademark was large expenditures on 'dressing-up' a film, Flash Gordon (1980) was a good example as were both Conan films and Red Sonja. That said, I have a fond place for many of his films at large...

    What are your favorite SiFi Film/series?

    Outside of the mainstream franchises, Star Trek & Star Wars, I've always had a special place for Dune, the original 1984 film, not the Sci-Fi Channel rehash. What really draws me in is the level of texture and details throughout the movie as well as the depth of design to the character's...

    Buck Rogers Blaster MK-I "Buck's Blaster"

    Did a bit of Googling and did find a few photos of the rifle variant, I seemed to recall it being a bit 'beefier' but mind just be faded memory of seeing the pilot episode-feature film so long ago. I'll keep searching, has to be a better image out there.

    Friend with pretty bad PTSD...what the hell should I do.

    Lived with PTSD most of my adult life and can say it's far from pleasant. One thing I found helps me is having a focus to center on, that's the best place for anyone having similar issues can start-adopt. PTSD is a many-faced dragon that can pop-up with little-no notice so there's no simple...

    Would you play a game with paper miniatures?

    I tend to find a lot of the 'licensed' miniatures a bit pricey, WH & WH40K amongst others, so always scour the dollar stores for playsets compatible 15 & 25mm games. Also there's many 1/72 scale plastic 'model' figures available online that work well in gaming too, most are WWI or WWII but...

    Buck Rogers Blaster MK-I "Buck's Blaster"

    Awesome build, thanks for sharing such ! Question if I may, has yourself or anyone else gotten a pattern of the rifle-version of the blaster, such briefly seen in the pilot episode-feature film, as carried by the Directorate ground troops in the Old Chicago ruins rescue scene ?

    Would you play a game with paper miniatures?

    Slowly introducing my Gen-2 nieces and nephews to the magic and imagination of paper toys, the boys love building city blocks for Kaiju beasties to run wild and the girls love having paper castles and other princess-related items made available 'on-demand' ! I say Gen-2 as their moms and dads...

    40k Lore in under a minute...

    No intentional hijack meant but would appreciate someone much more versed in 40K than my meager noob-lurker status to explain-expoliate something for me. I see some very cool ground action-engagement vehicles, mostly tanks and troop transports, but not to my knowing seen anything for...

    Colonial Landram from Battlestar Galactica

    Many many sincere thanks R-F, thinking of doing the 1/24 scale in sheet styrene and 'down-scaling' the pattern for a 1/48 and 1/72 ! Again sir, sincere appreciation and kudos !

    Battlestar Galactica Land Probe aka Turbocycle

    Perhaps just a post-college brain-cell massacre fading memory but I recall seeing a children's bicycle based on that design, wasn't a custom but believe it was a retail store item.

    Valley of the Wind Gunship - Reverse Engineering Project

    I often wondered if there was a larger fighter-bomber bi-plane version of this quirky little flyer. A few links below to some very detailed photos of the Bandai model. http://www.xl-shop.com/xlshop/product_images/BAN/BAN-FORMANIA-GUNSHIP3.jpg http://schizophonic9.com/formania_gunship.html
