Alex Rakhimgulov
Looks awesome!

Neuling
I agree. At first glance I thought it`s 1/16 kit. Very good weathering and terrain!

Doubtingmango
Fantastic job on an uncommon subject. Don't see many IVAs

Mr James

Gary Victory
Really nice work and love the weathering. Top Job.

Erik
Dusty Work! 😉 Like the Weathering and the realistic Groundwork.

gorby
Perfect! I love how it's displayed.

Treehugger
I am stuck with a similar project, afraid to make a mistake.

Q: How did you add the dust to the clear parts, and was the effect sealed in varnish or something afterwards?

Neuling
Top work. Everything just fine, terrain included.

coporado
Great job, I love the weathering and presentation!

F Matthews
For dust on the clear parts, I used a very diluted/thinned dust/buff acrylic misted with an airbrush on some surfaces and dust pigments on the front windscreens and in touch-ups to even out the effect.

Pietro De Angelis
Stunning subjet and dio, congrats!

Rui S

It took a while for me to capture the scene and and bring it together with True Lies 😄! Perfectly done and off the beaten track!

Erik
Great! ❤️️

Spanjaard
excellent depiction of the scene

NorK
That is just great! 😂
(Have you tried closing the aperture and increasing exposure time for a better depth of field? Tripod recommended)

John Kauck
Very Cool! Well done!

Sky after Snow
Thank you for your suggestion NorK. Will try this.

Martin von Schreckenstein
July 15th 1994: A United States Marine Corps AV-8B V/STOL Harrier descended below altitude minimums over a built up area, and in clear visual atmospheric conditions - pilot Harry Tasker - (computer salesman), failed to maintain minimal separation from an obstacle, allowing the tail of his aircraft to come in contact with a construction crane in downtown Miami. The crane's presence was properly published in NOTAMS for the Miami Florida area at the time of the incident.

Brilliant diorama!

so move "projects" from the popular filter to the "all" filter?

eg. If a project (any status) is worth watching, there will be an album and the album has a link to the project. (why bother showing a seconds newsfeed item with the same project?)

Starbase101
I concur, for project kickoffs, there is usually at least 2 if not 3 posts - one for the project creation (before any photo album is even created yet), sometimes one for the "Ideas" status, and then one for adding the photo album (sometimes empty with no photos yet). I think all that's really needed is when photos and/or text (descriptions/questions) are added. In my opinion, the popular newsfeed is often "borderline spam" with all the reviews and New Project being essentially a duplicate post of its first photo album upload.

I also second the motion of having a convenient way of adding a large quantity of topics to the favorites list. With nearly 2000 items in my stash, it would take an inordinate amount of time to manually add each one of them.

scalemates
FYI, the empty photoalbum was fixed for a large amount of cases. It should be happening a lot less

Dominik Weitzer
btw...if i create a new project (only to sort in the used kit to my upcoming gallery) or album only for a placeholder or "keep in mind" for me, i delete this topic in the newsfeed so that is not be shown to public...
It would be fine, if there is a button while creating a topic with the option "hide" or "show" in the newsfeed. is that possible?
that will make it easier, to upload a gallery, manage the pictures or writings and so on. in my opinion, i will make it "fill with life", before i show it to the public.

scalemates
FYI, a recent change makes projects invisible (I think the first 5mins) for other people. (you will see your project, others not yet)

James C
Yes, I think that just removing "Idea" projects from the News Feed, or just being able to filter them out would be a great start. While I don't have anything against these kinds of newsfeed posts, it does become annoying when a user adds five or more project ideas in a row, as that shunts everything else that does have content further back into the history. As mentioned, once the user starts adding content to the associated album, the project can then be viewed etc. I hope that makes sense.

BTW, I agree as well. It would be nice to be able to create and work on a photo album or project, and not have it appear on the news feed at all until I'm ready to post it publicly.

Thanks again 🙂

Olivier
I do not quite understand what you are after.
But I see that you have only rather recently arrived here.
Maybe it would be an idea to get used to the website as it is first and then after a while maybe six months or one year if you still have objections ask for changes.
In the mean time, you could also fill your profile. I find it so very nice to know a little about fellow modellers and also that it helps start a conversation.

James C
@ Oliver - I'm basically requesting to have the option to "filter" the newsfeed to only display items that I personally have any interest in, whether it be by post type or subject matter and to auto assign topics to my favorites list when I add something to my stash.

Secondly, I've been a frequent user since mid 2016, so after going on four years now, I'd like to think that I know a little about what I'm requesting before making any such requests.😉

Lastly, this is a new more streamlined profile for myself, and the lack of any personal information in my profile is intentional 👍

Starbase101
@Jim, this functionality is already under development. I've already taken the remodeled newsfeed for a test drive and provided some feedback to Tim. After he completes all the work and makes it live, I think you might like it as checkbox filtering exists for post type, subject, topic, scale, etc.

James C
Yeah, I've seen it as well. Looking fantastic and cant wait to see it implemented😉👍

Rui S
Well, latelly I also was felling the Same, with the enormous quantity of "ideas" with nothing new, or popularity, to Say the least, in the POPULAR feed.
So thank you Jim C for asking for this changes. I completly agree with you.
Also thanks Tim for adressing this issues. 👍

Marked as fixed 🙂 (was fixed a long time ago, but this was stuck as TODO)
