Long time no see....

[Mcarm]

Well it's been a while since I've been here, any of the old guard still out there? And Neal, nice to see the Seawolf on the banner, nice job!

[Bellman]

:) Mcarm - welcome back. :up:

I dont qualify (yet) as part of the 'old guard' but its so quiet around here with the hols that you can hear an ant fart.

Have fun again. :sunny:

[Konovalov]

Welcome back sir from below the thermal layer. :D

[Mcarm]

Paaaarrrrpppp!!!

[Kapitan]

i dont know you but welcome back :D

[XabbaRus]

Righty you old bugger.

Do I have some work for you.

If the old Salt fancies it I can give you a Type 23 to paint including the J3D model....

Been sitting waiting for a touch of magic out of one of my two artists....both of whom until recently with your arrival have gone AWOL...

So Mac what do you say?

Oh and off topic anyone seen where JJ has gone? He seems to have taken the Foxtrot with him....

[Kapitan]

JJ has been very busy lately xabba he be back soon i think

[XabbaRus]

Busy with what?

I hope so as I might have some more stuff to get painted soon and it would be nice to have Mac and JJ on stuff so that it can get finished.

The stuff I am working on are replacement models so they can be released independently of DWX.

What I hope to do is collect all my models into a single pack...ie those that don't require new dbase entries and then release them as a download with instructions on how to add them by oneself.

I don't see the point of me putting a dbase together with them as some people might be using the finiteless mod.

I hope Thomas surfaces soon as I'd prefer that my models go out with a DWX release...

[Mcarm]

Ahh, a type 23, sure send it on, got loads of reference stuff on that one, spent two days on HMS Portland a year or so ago.

Anyway, how are you keeping? Has there been any DWX release so far? I still haven't bought DW yet. Has anyone else managed to import some of our work into DW, especially the Oscar II?

[Kapitan]

we all wish we are still waiting dwx hasnt been released yet

[XabbaRus]

DWX isn't out as Thomas has sunk for a bit.

Ludger is working on DWedit..I have the Oscar in my game :)

I'll send it to you if you can give me your e-mail addy which I lost :(

[Kapitan]

your useful xabba

[Mcarm]

What, Thomasew out of contact? well We'll just have to get on with it then. Xab, do you have Ludgers email???

[PeriscopeDepth]

Glad to see someone come back that I remember from the old SCX days. You did some awesome paint jobs IIRC. :)

[XabbaRus]

Yep got Ludgers somewhere or else I'll ask.

[Stewy]

Welcome, Sir,

I come up now and again to snort the diesels...but I've been a little morose when SCS said that there wouldn't be addons...

DW has been collecting dust a bit, I've been playing VBS1 almost constantly in my free time...

Thankfully, now that Jamie said that he's looking into ways of getting the addons going again, that Western Diesel MAY be reality in the distant future ;)

[Mcarm]

Ah Stewy me old mate, how are you keeping mate? What about Ramius, has he been around lately? Xab, my email is still salmo@gofree.indigo.ie but I'm having a bit of difficulty with it at the moment (too much porn blocking it up :-j ) Let me try and sort it out before you send the Duke.

[XabbaRus]

OK Mac.

Do you have DW yet?

I haven't heard from Ramius for a long time. I think he is taking it easy as he had some tooth problems.

[Mcarm]

No Xab, not got DW yet. Do you have Ramius' email addie???

[XabbaRus]

Yea I do but not at work

Dunno if you know but I have a new job. Electrical Draughtsman..

I'll e-mail it to you when I get home.

Type 23 should work in SC with no problems.

[Mcarm]

Excellent news lad :up: Well done!

[Sea Demon]

Yay!!! The old SCX guys are talking. :D

Almost brings a tear to my eye. Maybe DWX will soon be a reality. :hmm:

Thankfully, now that Jamie said that he's looking into ways of getting the addons going again, that Western Diesel MAY be reality in the distant future ;)

Yes sir, Stewy. I think that a western diesel would be a real easy one for SCS to do. They already have the Kilo modelled. It's just a matter of designing new interfaces and tweaking the performance (acoustics, sensors, and such) of the platform. The next is to choose which one to model.....Collins, 212, 209, Upholder, any of the Japanese diesel subs. Cool possibilities.

Now back to the topic, even though I don't know of you very well Mcarm, it's nice to see more guys with that SCX symbol showing up in the forums. Gives us hope for good things to come. :up:

[Mcarm]

Well lads I'm no Thomasew. In fact, the last time I tried to release a SCX mod Tom had to come to the rescue :oops: Anyway, let me get my bearings again and I'll see what we can do. Xab, did you find Ludgers email yet???
