Re: Questions? I Got Your Questions Right Here, Buddy.

Is there a way to graphically highlight when a section has unread/new posts? If its doing it, I don't see it. Mousing over works, but it isnt' as easy. from a lazy old guy. :) Actually, if you look at the top/left under the forum logo, you'll see"quick links". In there are selections to s...

Anyone know where I can find 1/35 scale chainmail? I went looking for something similar --- Mark Yungblut suggested mesh purses, which routinely turn up on eBay. I found something that worked for a 1/16-ish figure. Not sure you can get something that is fine enough for 1/35 (or even 54mm) figures ....

Update: primer is on and textured - going for a cast hull look, even though I can't really justify it (I'd think in the interest of lightness the hull would be ceramic/composite and 'grown vice cast .... maybe it is, and has a textured anti-something coating, like non-skid) (And maybe I'm over think...

One of the things I've been thinking about is UAVs. Small, relatively cheap, unobtrusive, and if you break one or it gets shot down, no human crew were hurt. If I had the tech to make a hover-/counter-grav/anti-grav tank, I'd man it with a smart computer or a remote pilot. Arming the thing .... now ...

OneZero's NOE UAV

Oh, I just had a Very Bad Idea..... I've been hoping for you to expand on this. Share! My thoughts have led me down the path of an AI or remotely piloted vehicle that operates between 0 and (let's say) 20 feet above the ground - a nap-of-the-earth UAV, if you like. I'm more interested in a tank-kil...

something that I want to do with this is at least have something well into construction before I post.. it's a sort of "boy" thing. What he said. I will say that it's more a tank hunter than a MBT, and that it's a MaK-inspired. My design will use the C/BT countergrav and palletized weapons.

Think, for example, of a hovering vehicle that is heavily armored (physical or energetic), carries heavy weapons, can zoom at 200 mph (or more) or crawl at walking speed, can turn on a dime and move in any direction, can reach altitudes of 100 or 1000 feet (or whatever) or a foot off the ground, is...
