RELAX
I would like to thank the following sites and apps for their generosity (whether they know they are generous or not):
Boogie Jack. One-stop help for the budding web artist. Reciprocal link download honor code deal. Here's your link, Jack!
Curtis' Freak Show This kid may just be the next freakin' Van Gogh. I'm serious!
Submitted For Your Perusal - The Rod Serling Sound Collection. Hey...Rod...Need I say more?
bellsnwhistles.com Cool downloads and Java code, all free as long as you agree to link them. Well, here's your link, too, guys!
Panzer Commander, a great armored combat sim, provided cool breech block and tank engine sounds.
European Air War gave me that macho, martial drum roll on the front page.
The GeeBee Racer Page, dedicated to the classic pylon racer of the 1930s, provided that great engine sound on the WW1 planes page.
Aviation Animation. An Australian aviation page. Great pix and sounds. This is where I picked up that hot Merlin (I know, I know, it should be a Klimov) engine sound on my WW2 warbirds page.
Here are some of my friends' excellent modeling/reference sites:
Robert Karr's Aviation Art
TJ Tang's Armor and Modeling Linkages
Allan Wright's World War I Modeling Page (hands down the most comprehensive WWI aviation page and link site around)
WWI hipster Martin Speed's esoteric Flying Circle Graphics
The home page of the Osaka Naniwa Senshatai (Naniwa Tank Brigade) , a band of loyal beer and AFV fanatics. Some English text, but mostly great pix and linx.
The home page of another Osaka group, The Osaka Ladybird Club. No, it's not a fan site for the late Mrs. LBJ, but rather, the home page of a dynamite bunch of airplane modelers. No English text, unfortunately, but just click anything that looks like a hyperlink and dig the visuals, ma-a-an...
Jean-Marc Perreault'sOfficial Parts Yard, where you just may be able to find the other half of that Sturmgeschutz muzzle brake your mother vacuumed out of your bedroom carpet in 1976. Hey, it's worth a shot!
The Gosse Collection of First World War Aeronautica, like the name suggests, is a fascinating collection of actual aircraft parts, German lozenge fabric swatches, etc. Spinetingling stuff for WWI aeronuts.
Mr. Kitano's "All Is NOT Quiet On The Southern Front" page. Damn good North African campaign armor and figures with an Italian Campaign section in the works. Bust out the vino and soprasata and get ready for some more awesome armor from Mr. Kitano.
Bill Wolfe's excellent model and modeler hub site.
Nick Briggs' model site. An Airfix and Italeri aircraft kit-intensive page with very candid and useful critiques of same!
Wings of Honor: an excellent WW1 aviation history/flight sim resource and information exchange forum. Highly recommended!
Milipics: Cool shots of authentic restored AFVs and softskins.
Masahiko Nakasone: Homepage of a promising young Japanese modeler from Okinawa. No language barrier here --his English if great!
