Just co-inky-dink, I guess, but today I received in the mail a pair of checkered walnut grips for the Sig (replacing the too-slick plastic originals). So MD is off to a good start... better get some pork chops on the way home! He then sent me a picture of his new baby. Which gave me an idea. Baby Pictures! Mebbe a monthly thing, where you guys send me pictures of your babies and we here at the Castle post 'em? Along with any good stories if... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/02/baby_pictures.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/02/baby_pictures.html Wed, 16 Feb 2005 06:42:08 -0600 Helluva site! Can I pick some brains on this listing for info on Maxims? I am counterfitting (propane fired) the big four of WWI and need input. Got blueprints of the 08/15 and the beginnings of info on the Lewis- plus some leads on the Vickers- but the LMG-14 is a total dark hole. No, I am NOT interested in the William's Brothers interpretation of these guns, as I have seen their idea of a Lewis and it is not even close. These will be totally scratch-built, no gun parts used. Aircraft versions will be aluminum and various scales (most replica WWI birds are not full scale) whilst the WWI re-enactors (read- ground-pounders) will insist on steel. This way, real DEWATS do not get butchered so's people can play Army. Thank you for your time, Gregory F.

You could do categories - handguns, shotguns, etc. I'll go rev up the camera ;-) http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/02/baby_pictures.html#comment-14927 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/02/baby_pictures.html#comment-14927 Wed, 16 Feb 2005 20:00:32 -0600 http://airbornecombatengineer.typepad.com/airborne_combat_engineer/2005/02/aces_baby.html#more]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/02/baby_pictures.html#comment-14859 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/02/baby_pictures.html#comment-14859 Wed, 16 Feb 2005 11:26:09 -0600 Thanks AFSis- I was hoping for twins, but... ...and John twigged it. The piece is actually a broken-down, rusted H&R .22 I found in a swamp- amazing what you can do with Photoshop these days. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/02/baby_pictures.html#comment-14848 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/02/baby_pictures.html#comment-14848 Wed, 16 Feb 2005 10:42:55 -0600 Y'know, Neffi - that *is* a *purty* thang... or is that like the airbrushed pictures of models - it was all photog and make-up? http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/02/baby_pictures.html#comment-14845 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/02/baby_pictures.html#comment-14845 Wed, 16 Feb 2005 10:21:03 -0600 You must have seen Young Neffi.
