looking models that I am proud to see on ARC.
|
|

Aidy Abdullah has
created a wonderful in-flight model of the 1/72 Fujimi A-4PTM.
Aidy combined parts from different Fujimi
model kits and then used an Airfix pilot figure to complete the
in-flight scene. His paint work of the wraparound camo is
flawless. This is quite the treat to see. |
|
|
|
|
Brian "Mr B" Param
is here with his 7th model for today's Malaysian update. This
is his

Forums Problem Update
Aug 30 2016
- I have just signed up for the new dedicated server for the ARC
forums at a new hosting company
- Once the new server is configured with the new programs I need.....then I will contact the folks at Invision (folks that designed this forum program) to get them to move the forums from the old server to the new server.
- Then the forums will need to be updated by the folks at
Invision.
- Then the arcforums.com domain name will need to be moved.
- This is a slow painful process but it will progress.

Forums Problem Update
Aug 28 2016
- OK...for now I'm working on upgrading the forums program to the latest version. I asked the Invision Tech support to do the upgrade. They said in general it takes 8 days for them to complete this....I guess they have a backlog.
- I will continue to look for a new hosting company that runs the type or PHP program on their dedicated managed server that I need for running the forums program. In time I will move the forums program to a new hosting company.
- Sorry for the delay...but I've been working 18 hour days for the past 10 days and this is my first day off.
