  1. Veterans Day

    For Veterans Day (and my dad's 87th bday) I thought I'd show this 1/17th scale model a buddy of mine made for my father. This is what he was in for Operation Varsity, the crossing of the Rhine invading Germany. He was a 17th Airborne medic. We just had lunch with a friend of his who piloted...

  8. Two tone /Dual color/ 2 layer material?

    I have a job that I would like to find a two layer material, like engraving stock. Something with thin top color layer and a thick (.375-.5") white bottom layer.

    This problem is not new, but seems to be getting worse. I get the error message when printing to the Edge, "Can't locate security key, want to run in Demo mode", I decline/tell it to keep looking and eventually it finds it. The Edge job keeps running fine, but I can't work in Omega till it's...

But I don't have asphaltum and was wondering if anyone did...

    http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/blog/fourth_place_medal/post/Did-Rio-de-Janiero-steal-its-Olympic-logo-from-a?urn=oly-302825 Personally I don't think it's plagiarism, close but not the same. But really, how original is any design? Dig deep enough and you can probably find similar designs to...
