Moved to the correct forum area. You’ve been here long enough to not waste admin time…

The websites language is English. I’m going to ask you to post in English please.

The forum has not been updated.

We have had a series of spam attacks on the site over the last few days. Accounts that have been fine (normally dormant for a couple of years but genuine members beforehand) have suddenly sprung into life and started to spam the forums. This last series was from Indonesia, but we have had Russian and elsewhere. I would think that these have been harvested from data breaches where an email address and password is known, and that same password has been used for multiple uses/logins etc. Top tip, is check if your email has been in a data breach: https://haveibeenpwned.com - All the emails of the members affected have been checked on this and were compromised Make sure that you do not use the same passwords for multiple websites, forums etc. Change your passwords regularly The affected members so far are: SaratogaArcadia Snandos TheBaron franco1964 Jimmy Tam PappyVanWinkle Roi Szczepanski Loneman If anyone knows them off the forum, please let them know. It may have implications for them regarding banking etc.

Closed. Wishlisting

Then why post? I would strongly suggest in reading the rules for this little area of the forum. It saves those who are interested having to scroll past your non-contribution in crayoning over this thread.

Lovely build! On my list for when the NI fit variant comes out, just need to find a 1:72 Labrador to represent my search dog in the door. Or even better, for it to be a Jan announcement in 1:48 scale

Welcome and no problems whatsoever about posting old builds. We all started somewhere and if you are a true modeller, will develop an ability where aspiration and stash size means that there are more to start than will ever be finished

I’ve removed what I think is the offending post. Hard to tell as no warnings are coming up with my malware etc.

Well, I thought I would dip my toes into some maritime modelling for a change and bought the Triumph kit with the extra detail set. are there any build articles or reviews out there for it or similar builds so I can get my head around the different approach for maritime kits? thanks

Locked. Not pertinent for the forum area - familiarise yourself with the forums please.

Do we really have to mention officer drill?

values, standards and traditions of the service - its funnily enough what makes it work. Rules can be changed and are transient. The before is earned, gained and valuable. Its what makes very ordinary people do extraordinary things so they don't let their mates down. Funnily enough when I joined up, likewise 99.99% of the others who have before and since, the reasons did not include the option for allowing facial hair. It was the job, the adventure and the chance to do cool stuff. The CoC tend to forget that in initiatives that will increase recruiting by 0.001%. Those MBE's dont earn themselves by being sensible.

Nope, its Subalterns with crocs. 2 x wrongs do not make a right... There is, its called values, standards and traditions of the service. We also have Army, RAF and RN working alongside each other in joint units, doing the same job but with different requirements for fitness, physical standards and expectations in operationally deploying. One posting does not a career make and you go back to your own kind and have to live and work there. Then there are the RM and the RN. One organisation has beards, one wears dresses on the smash. Both part of the Navy. The introduction of beards in the Army and RAF was a flailing attempt at harvesting more recruits. It just meant a reduction in no shave chits for the med centres to hand out. You can add the latest gem in "cornrows" and Vegan shoes to that flailing desperation. Lots of trumpeting and running around after a few who wouldn't be happy at the best of times. Whilst the majority accept it as the organisation they joined and wanted to be a part of. Same as one of my Sappers in Kenya who decided he wanted to be Rastafarian so he could have long hair. It lasted a couple of days until I restricted him from the cans of beer, the bacon butties for breakfast and all the tinned food his new found religion no longer permitted. Even he admitted it was worth a try...
