Out with the Old in the the New !!!!
« on: December 27, 2007, 11:39:35 pm »
One of my favorite old models is S'bloyds Claymore Class. Back then when new it was awesome. GAFY's outstanding retextures extended it's life for me. In honor of the great ol lady I put together this........ I'm hoping lighting strikes twice and perhaps GAFY will see it in his heart to clothe this one too  :) Questions and comments welcome

I don't know kind of swampped night now with personal projects, trying to fingure out Kligons and still three Feds in the drawer. At least I think I know the direction I want to go with the Kligons finally.

But I probably have enough textures laying around for you to bash them to it. i was just looking at all the windows on the old one going hmmm...


Looks like a TMP cruise ship
People always said they wanted the government to listen to them and now the government is listening, taking notes and names...and coming to see you soon!

No offense intended, ModelsPlease but ...

THAT'S FUNNY, Red_Sharif! LOL!

(For those readers too young to remember ...)



I had that show inflicted upon me as a young child by my Great Grandmother who came from the 'Old Country' Like Mr. Welk did ... and her accent was almost as atrocious as his ... lol

But it did me some good in appreciating Octoberfest and Polka ... I guess.

"Roll out the Barrel ... Roll out a Barrel of Fun ..."

...Memories ... lol

my grandmother watches that several times a week. To make matters worse she has to crank the tv and the network must think there's only 10 episodes or something because I swear they repeat the same few over and over again. I don't mind some polka music but daaaammn.

Like my Great Grandmother, Welk was born in Germany and partially raised in The U.S. ... both were old enough when they got here to retain their thick accents ... which I was told, at least in Great Grandma's case, was actually easier to understand than her parents ...

JM.

Looks interesting. A pocket battleship or a battlecruiser I assume?
