John and lone,
Do we need to start a Filipino Support Group here at Armorama?
Hey why is it the "Philippines" but you are not "Philipinos"?
Just a belated answer:
'Philippines' is already the anglicized name of the Spanish 'Filipinas'. In the Filipino language, it is actually 'Pilipinas'.

Hello Fellow Countrymen!
I think we really should have our own forum thing...
Kayo ha...Ba't nyo niloloko si "SS-74"? (Why are you fooling SS-74?)
Sana magkita-kita tayo paminsan - tayong mga iilang nakaka-appreciate ng models sa Pilipinas...Pakiramdam ko kse kokonte lang mga katulad natin eh...

Order ako ng isang set ng M113 tracks. AFV Club ata ang gumawa
Kakainggit talaga sa Singapore nung pumunta ako bago nagkaroon ng SARS. May mga stores sila puno ng mga parts na nakikita lang natin online. May isang store dun na may balsa wood model ng Tomcat! Marami ring Italeri truck models. PE, gun barrels, at resin kumpleto sila! Baka di ko lang nahanap yung store na specialized sa cars kasi di ko nahanap yung PE gauges at seat belts mo
Kung nakapunta kayo sa Hong Kong, talagang maglalaway kayo sa kits doon! May mga model guns (bawal nga lang dalhin dito sa Pinas). Kumpleto tol! Doon ko nga nabili yung Gundam kit na MSN-100 Hyaku-Shiki na napaka-rare dito sa atin. Gusto ko uling bumalik pero may SARS. Yung sabi mo sa Shingapore? Meron akong pinsan doon baka pwede akong magpabili sa kanya tapos bayaran na lang natin. Sure ka bang marami doon Jeepney? Anong name ng shop in particular?

Hey guys,
The new forum is now available to post. Just go to the main forum page and click on the forum (down in the off-topic forums). You will need to do the opt-in stuff. Also you may want to let new Filipino members be aware of this forum when you see them on the site.
Have fun!
Cheers,
Jim

Shonen, Lonewolf - re:history, thanks for the comments. :-)
Lonewolf - I live near the border of Las Pinas and Paranaque, on the latter side. And STC has become one of my favorite shops - including JMN of course, which is just one taxi ride from the office (then again, almost anywhere is one taxi ride). There's a small hobby shop in here also known as Ritchie Rich which sells some old stuff like Esci's old LAV kits (which have some bad features). I got my DML Sa-9 Gaskin there which is said to be an out-of-production kit already. Caveat emptor though: because most of the stock there is old, some of the decals are already damaged (my Leo2A5 decals had some damage already) and others have some 'infestation' (when I bought an Academy M1A1 for a friend, I opened the box and discovered a creepy crawly and a roach egg). But otherwise, it's a nice shop that's nearby. I do hope they improve their stocks though. They also have some diorama materials (Woodland Scenics trees and lichen).
Re:San Mig livery and Crismag's business, the livery could be done using blank decal sheets. JMN used to sell decal sheets but now it's out of stock. They always have less than 10 available. Perhaps blank white decal sheets since IIRC the livery is red and white. Hmmm perhaps start also a custom decals business? Cris, since your the artist among us here, maybe we could all invest in an ALPS thermal wax printer. That'd give nice colors for the custom decals. We could make AFP decals for F-5s, OV-10s, and other AFP equipment. Also a 'decal archive' wherein decals will be 'digitized' (scanned) and stored in the hard drive so if anyone loses a decal or has one that's yellowed or destroyed, one can have the hi-res scan of that particular decal sheet printed and viola - replacement decals. I've started doing decal archiving with my own decals here. A 300dpi resolution scan is enough I guess. The only problem I see though is the legality of such archive since they're copyrighted. In my case, I only archive for my purposes, i.e. I don't sell them. I just need a laser printer (or decal sheet that accepts inkjet) or use a colored photocopier to print the image on the decal sheet.
Re:Crismag's proposed business - I also had an idea wherein it's the hobby shop itself that will order for the modeller what he wants and then just a weeeeeee little extra for the use of the service. But then, I like Crismag's idea better. :-) One thing I'd like are decal sheets - both blank and white. Bare Metal foil (very useful for masking - though expensive for that purpose), decal solvent (MicroSol - Microset is too weak IMO), airbrush spare parts perhaps? With regard to PE, maybe ship PE would be an idea for stocking, since ship models just cry out to have PE. Just the common ones at least (e.g. Gold Medal PE for the Tamiya 1/350 line-up of ships), whilst the rest will just be on order business to save on costs. Same with the kits. I had to 'beg' STC to order two Dragon M1A2s and waited close to 5 months for them to arrive. :-) And also FUTURE! Future is SO DAMN HARD TO FIND here because it's unavailable (unless they're in another name or in some store I dunno). And maybe perhaps a tie-up with that family friend's chemical business of selling RTV and resin?
