You heard that right : a cork of champagne popping. I thought I should break open a case to rehearse for the weekend, because........ (drum roll...) there are currently 990 registered members at this site.
There's a good chance we'll go to four digits this very weekend. Can't you feel the excitement already ? The whole screen starts flashing and vibrating now already. (maybe I shouldn't have opened that fourth bottle tonight)

Hmmmm, so, does the #1000 user get a boobie-prize or a sock on the jaw!?!
Maybe Jim (has anyone heard from him lately?) can set the site up so that the screen does flash!

Jim (has anyone heard from him lately?)


I noticed the same thing. In older days, he was ALWAYS online when I was on this site. Now I don't see Jim anymore. Where are you, Jimbo ??? Look forward to reading you soon !
Doing something special about that 1000th member does sound like a good idea, Tread.

999 !
I was thinking, maybe I could enlist junior right now. The zillion dollars reward for being the 1000 th member would give hime a clean head start for a superb modeling career. He just turned six... good age to start modeling.

Just think of it... if I enlist right now, I'm the 1000 th member of the Armorama Cavalry.

But that would not do justice to the spirit of this site.

Whoever number 1000 may be (in a few minutes, hours or days)... you're welcome to this crazy bunch, Partner !

Congratulations !!!

Uncle Jan

Oooohhh Jan,

I had the same noughty idea about enlisting junior (4.5 years old) but let's play fair.

A Big congrats to Jim and a very very warm welcome to Mr. or Mrs. Millennium...

Let's start counting down......

Jim is on vacation out here in sunny (to sunny right now) CA. He mentioned it in a few other posts that he would not be around much on the road. He is checking in and doing some updating. If anyone deserves some time off its him. Don't worry, our fearless leader shall return.

Hey that's excellent work there TUGA....and worth a second look!

Congrat's go out to Jim for creating such a great sight, and for forming up ranks of some of the best damn modeler's and history buff's out there!

Tread.

BTW, thanks also go out to rbasniak(?) for putting us 'over the top'.....even though he probably doesn't realize it yet. #:-)
