I think the 35C must be relatively close in size to the legacy Hornet. Any chance of posting a shot comparing those 2?

I can't remember if the Vigilante was bigger than the 111B or not. Certainly the Whale was bigger.

That is some great work. The soot from the TR's on the tail is especially good.

I wonder how many years it will take me to become proficient in all the 50's systems...

Well, with the economy as it is, it's probably only worth a couple of dollars.

I don't think any former Russian planes are still flying in Germany. The MiG-29s were the last to go, but they're all gone AFAIK. Do remember next year it will be 20 years since the Wall fell. Those MiG-29s were delivered not long before that, so they were the newest and most capable planes they inherited from the GDR.

Unless your pilot has the Force. Then, well, your eyes can deceive you. Don't trust them.

Careful, your ignorance of the sport is showing. I could say the same thing about hockey, football, soccer, baseball, golf, or any of them.

Yet all the actual research I've seen indicates they have almost exactly the same number of issues on average as MS users. The difference is people have NO patience for MS while Mac and Linux lovers accept almost anything and don't blink. Think of it this way...someone takes a dump on your hand. If it's your infant baby, you don't mind. If it's your drunk next door neighbor, you mind. Yet the stats would show identically.

Mulder found the frozen alien there. But they took it from him!

I would echo that. The requirements for Black Shark were posted and they're big, and I get the feeling it doesn't need as much as SoW will.

Just as long as you're not using NT 4 or heaven forbid 3.5!

Don't forget the theramin was basically an electronic instrument and it predates that.

I built a D for the girlfriend in HS, not seen it in 15 yrs now. Also built her a Vor'cha. I have the C in the closet, been there for years along with Voyager. The Defiant is "built" (only missing one piece) but unpainted and decaled. Basically when I moved into my house I just never seemed to have the time for them anymore.

There are some reviews of it out there around the web. One was done on SimHQ that I recall clearly. Basically it was buggy to the point of unplayability at times and you only had a small number of scripted single missions to play. No "campaign", no multiplayer, no randomly generated single missions. Once you played through those missions, all you could do was play through them again.

They just don't get it. The only "safe and effective means of combating software piracy" was already done! The game is too complex for people who don't have the manual anyway. There is no CP that can't be cracked by those determined to do so. Stardock has no CP at all and they're doing fine. I wish there was a way to compare the number of sales gained by preventing it from working easily for those who pirate it to those lost by people who simply refuse to have anything to do with Starforce. Something tells me the number of would-be pirates who will now buy the game is far smaller than the legit customers who will be put off. Most companies use SecuROM now (although there's a separate uproar about them) because it's more acceptable. The fact that they didn't go that route but chose SF instead will make a lot of people VERY upset.

The fact is that it doesn't matter if Vista is ok or not since it's not in a bubble. If you can't get drivers and/or apps to work properly with it, whose fault is it? Vista-aware programs work fine, which is great as long as you never need to use older programs. If you do, you could be in trouble. The OEMs still haven't totally gotten a handle on Vista's revised driver model. XP's had flaws, but the OEMs had years to figure out how to work with and around them. Vista changed that to fix things but the OEMs are STILL playing catch-up. I wonder if Vista SP2 will be out before Windows 7? Or will Windows 7 be in effect Vista SP2? I mean, face it XP SP2 is a different animal than XP SP1, which also crashed on me a lot.

Fixed.

I've got the lit-up version of that model. Still looks pretty good despite being about 17 yrs old now. Bad part was one of the lights stopped working when I glued the saucer together, must have bent the connector too far. The engines for those ST models are always a pain, whether the Enterprise, a Klingon ship, or one of the other Federation ones (I have Reliant, Excelsior, and Enterprise E as well).

I think we should all know by now you never trust anything from MS until service pack 2.

Wow...so the former Red is a white-neck?

My worst modeling experience was for Ford Models in Miami Beach. It was supposed to be a straightforward runway fashion show, but OH NO, they misrepresented it to me! Instead...oh...this thread is about scale models. Nevermind.

Italian food. Wait, I mean good Italian food. I can always be happy in an Italian restaurant, or ordering something Italian off the menu at a place that isn't, as long as it's good.

Blackadder and VP Balders! "The economy is in a meltdown." "Not to worry--I have a cunning plan!"

Yeah, mother-in-law is really into it, including the readings at the beginning. Wife can get a bit exasperated with it at times, though!
