Quote from: Steven B on Today at 09:09:02 AMHas anyone found Dad's Army figures?

Smart Models do a 1940's Home Guard Platoon, which is obviously the Dads Army Characters, the down side they require painting.

Also many other sets are available

The 1970s film crew and rural pensioners have a familiar look to them...

Including 1940s French Cafe staff, a certain Doncaster corner shop owner with the District Nurse, and some very Flash(heart) WW1 soldiers.

Has anyone found Dad's Army figures?

General Discussion / Re: The angry thread

Quote from: Moonglum on Yesterday at 04:54:06 PMI think that before this particular topic spirals any further downhill, it would be helpful if the NGF moderators could look closely at the NGF's Code of Conduct to see if any of its rules have actually been broken by the original post (OP) and/or subsequent posts.

Clearly, the OP has caused (rightly or wrongly) some outcry and complaint as well as some (rightly or wrongly) support. Since the original thread under General Discussion/hobbies has been deleted I can pass no further comment.

It is possible that the Code of Conduct needs to be further updated to deal with this kind of situation. Perhaps @scottmitchell74 could take the time read the section in the Code covering Bullying or Grievances - see Welcome and Introduction.

From a personal point of view, if the opportunity arises, I like to take part in laser pistol shooting, airgun shooting and archery for my enjoyment so therefore in this case I can see both points of view. @Ali Smith has made some reasonable and balanced points.

I hope this helps.

For What It's Worth: I properly used the "Other Hobbies" Section to start discussion about a hobby.

I then used the "Angry Thread" to express my anger at having my innocuous post deleted because of complainers - an incredibly arbitrary and low bar for deleting something.

Absolutely nothing about what I posted was abusive, bullying nor did it violate current rules... unless I missed something.



The pearl clutching over a fun video of my 110# daughter successfully shooting a can of grape soda is frankly both hilarious and, well... pathetic.

Lesson learned! No more glorious examples of our wildly important and coveted 2nd Amendment being expressed.

I will reserve my discussion to trains, baseball, music and random nonsense... and use the angry thread to complain about fragile N Gauge locomotives.

General Discussion / Re: Ebay postage for Seller
Last post by PLD - Yesterday at 10:51:43 PM
Quote from: mojo on Yesterday at 11:31:30 AMWhen selling items by auction, ebay only list "simple postage" which gives BUYERS compensation for loss in transit but not SELLERS.
Whatever system is used, if an item is lost in transit only one party needs to receive compensation for the item not BOTH. ???

If the compensation is paid to the SELLER; the SELLER will need to return the funds they received from the buyer...
If the compensation is paid to the BUYER; the SELLER retains the funds they have already received from the buyer...
