Hey guys, it's been a while since I popped up around here. Workin' for the man has sucked all of my non-painting time. I was hoping someone here could help me with a project, however. I have been feverishly looking for a copy of the Arbites Army List from Citadel Journal 29. I can't find a...

I'm planning on doing a father's day project for my two dads (biological and in-law) and since they both love history, I want it to be a historical mini from their favorite period of interest. I'm looking for Napoleonic-era British sailors and American Mayflower Pilgrims (or something similar)...

I know Chern is still futzing with things, but I thought I would make some observations for him in case it is still convenient to incorporate the comments. I would prefer that threads with posts I haven't yet seen were a bit more noticeable than they are now; last time, I could immediately see...

I'm working on a couple of game-writing projects right now where I'm coming up with material in a non-linear way - I'll come up with fluff for one chapter one night, and the next I'll be working on writing down some rules that I came up with at work that day. Now, I'd like to be able to track...

I'm doing some large army projects, and while I am very happy brushing on my Vallejo Game Color line, it just doesn't like my airbrush. Does anyone know how to find out the Vallejo Model Air color equivalents of the Vallejo Game Color range? Barring that, does someone know how to thin Game...

I want to start trying to build some stuff with plasticard, but I'm a little ignorant of the tools I should use. I made myself a punch to make rivets out of some hollow brass rod already, but I'm curious about tools for cutting sheets of the plastic. I think someone mentioned using a...scribe...

Can anyone in the UK shed some light on the cultural stuff behind this article? I understand people claiming Wicca as their religion - but people claiming to be Jedi? When did this start?

This is when I get really excited about science - when it solves problems and provides answers.

I've got a mini DVD player (the portable ones with the screen) at my painting table, because I have to keep something going on to stay focused. I'm watching Stargate SG-1 (season 3) right now, having started last week with season 1, and I'm three eps away from season 4. It's a darn slow night...

Washington Post story here. I don't know how I feel about this. I hated his "People's History" when I read it in 11th grade. I didn't like that an admitted piece of propaganda was being sold as a history, though my bigger problem was that my teacher presented it to us as such. But this was...

Let's say that a very skilled shooter was going to carry a concealed .22LR pistol for personal defense...what kind would he use? I'm writing such a character in a story, and my firearms resources have kind of petered out.

10 people + 4 Pathfinder RPG books + 1 Egyptian Pulp Adventure = One heckuva fun geek party. Anyone else gaming tonight?

A couple folks recently sent me some links from an old internet meme that I really got a kick out of: a list of "rejected" children's book titles. I can't sleep tonight, so I thought I'd share my favorites and a couple of my own design; if this isn't as funny to you fully-rested people as it is...

Gotta see it to believe it - story here... And here's a teaser pic of the "elf:"

For all you photo geeks out there, I thought you might find this one interesting; you just have to be in the right spot and then get very lucky to capture an image this active.
