Yep, im on a few forums...I just dont post often. I love the RPF its just a pain to look through all the posts, especially since this site actually gets some traffic. I like categories like most of the other forums offer.
Thanks for the comments on the PADDs. Dietrich did the batch that you see the fronts and backs of in the big group shots, as well as the tape detailing on the lightboxes. He does the best work with detailing and tape. So crisp and beautiful, and always gets its just how I want it. Im so picky in fact that after dealing with me for so long he send me drawings to edit and critique before even starting on the actual model. I usually have him do three or four revisions and am always a huge pain in the a@@.
Tripper did the Voyager, the Bajoran Flyer, and the Arboretum PADDS. He does great model work and can crank out some great PADDs from scratch every time. He also does some of the best graphics talent Ive seen in a long time. He has done some great custom graphics for me over the years and puts up with me being a pain too. I actually just looked back at an old screen he did for me and realized that there were over eight revisions I had saved where he basically had to start all over each time since I was so picky.
Still trying to figure out how to take good pictures. I want to make a website with my PADD pictures. Im guess I currently have at least 100 different PADDs in the collection.
