You know you're a modeler when....
a:your fingers are forever encrusted with dried paint/cured glue
b:you smell of enamel thinner, glue, and paint 24/7
c:you shed a tear when the hobby shop closes.

We already have a tank smily and a naval smily is on the way. How about we make an aircraft smily? I still prefer the old insane smily #:-) and not this one.

Why not have the best of both worlds? (Sorry, though. I just gotta go with Airwarrior. It seems like a new website everytime I get on!) Thanks for your time.
P.S. Jeez, staff_Jim! When do you sleep?! (Ack! I need a sleepy fella!)

Even though I initially liked-him. The rocket launcher dude (who is now the guy firing pistols) got a little over-used and annoying. Could it be that this is the one Dave misses most???

Howdy fellas,
I think Staff_Jim is doing a splendid job in his position behind the curtains! I must admit, it was a bit of surprise to see 'em there one morning (Jim and his band of Keebler elve's work the late-nite shift apparently). The whole 'new look' is growing on me.......
I agree, the smaller 'smiley's' don't disrupt the text as much, so that's nice. And, I definitely concur with both Kenc' and shonen on the Warship and Aircraft smiley's. I know the place is called Armorama, but we have a significant regular crowd that shuffles in who also enjoys 'wingy thingies', and 'floaty' things. And I don't know about you, but I don't want to make either camp mad...the flyboys will start throwing around heavy, sharp-edged versions of the 'recessed panel lines' argument, and the swabbies will hit us with lengths of etched ship railings!! :-) :-) :-)
Tread.
Although, I must take the opportunity to say......I really miss the 'clinking' guys.........

I hated the rocket launcher dud, but I loved the old crazy dude, the old alien dude, the mad red guy, and the old santa.

I have to say, I usually don't use emoticons in my posts

(which may be why few get read),

but these are really pretty nice :-) . And I agree with Jim, change is not such a bad thing. Keeps you young. Some here may not understand why that is important

, but they will find out soon enough

. So, lets embrace our new emoties

, and welcome them aboard Armorama style

.
Cheers

I like the new ones. This guy has already become my favorite. Maybe its because a little action now and then is a good thing. However I do miss the rocket launcher guy!!

P.S. Jim, take your time, we've waited this long we can wait a little longer.

I also liked the tongue in cheek or crazy smiley, the current bozo clown smiley isn't doing it for me... sorry.
Rocket launcher guy was cooler than pistol Pete.
Didn't the tank smiley used to be bigger?
The old green alien was better than the grey.
I DO like the drunken party hat guy though..

perhaps you've misunderstood the situation.
