General Board Discussion

NEW Board Changes coming....

feeds@yuku.com (Dan von Gartzen) — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 15:51:08 PST

This notice is to advise that new changes to the site will be coming just before the new year. BattleFleet has generally been a scale modeling site for military models, but members have expressed that they would like to add new Forums for other non military genres, which I believe is a good thing. Plenty to share and room for new members who like other areas to become involved and a chance to expand our horizons. With this, the new Auto Modeling Forums have been added. The most major change that will take effect soon, is that BattleFleet Models will become Modelers Realm! The current site address is BattleFleetModels.org, but in the next few weeks, the new address will be ModelersRealm.com. So over the course of the next month or so, you may notice some minor changes to reflect this. It is my hope that the name change and site adjustment will bring more traffic and modelers to the site, and good growth will occur. So if you have any friends who are taking up the hobby or have...

It's been several months since i chatted with you about the 1/6 M2 Bradley. I haven't started on it yet but it's next to my bench. Hell, it's almost as big as my bench. Are you still up for making masters out of her? I can start to part her up and we can both start casting pieces if your up to it. Let me know and we can make a plan. Ray

Photos from the 2008 IPMS/USA National Convention can be found here.

Scandalously, I was remiss in taking a photo of Keith Bender's Best in Show Winner, USS Fitch. Probably because I had seen it a previous shows.

Enjoy!

Howdy Gents,

Been working on several projects. More collecting info then actually glueing but it's progress. The railroad job I got is on a six month hiatus. Been moping around for a few months, just got a job with a local tint shop. Been back in a groove since. Been three weeks now and I've got more done then I have in the last three years. I put my old projects on my bench and have been re-gearing up for the final push with them. Mainly my Graf Spee though. The Bama was scrapped. She got crushed some time back in one of my many moves. Thought I'd just say hey to you guys. Hope all is well. Talk to ya later. Ray

Hockey Fans...

feeds@yuku.com (Dan von Gartzen) — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 14:30:18 PST

I have a Fantasy Hockey League through ESPN for hockey fans to enjoy the game by playing their own team based on points scored by players throughout the NHL. If you are interested in joining the fun, e-mail me directly with your name so that I can send you an invite to join the League. It is absolutely free and the League is set up for an autodraft to keep things fair for all.

To join, send your name by e-mail to GoRavenDrums@aol.com and a invite will be sent with the link to sign in and start playing. The draft will begin for all players around Oct 16 and we can have up to 20 players/teams.

Need suggestions...

feeds@yuku.com (Dan von Gartzen) — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 11:38:39 PST

Since we have expanded, I am looking for suggestions for member titles based on post counts and site contributions etc. The Naval ranks were good when it was all Naval here, but times have changed and I would like some input from BFM members and guest. All suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Nice new looks!
