3. http://www.perthmilitarymodelling.com/ - good for latest reviews only
4. http://missing-lynx.com/ - pic updates not as often as ML
5. http://ww2modelmaker.com/ - updates are very very very late, but the models are very good, check out the gallery.
6. http://hyperscale.com/what's.htm - mostly aircraft. frequent updates. some armor reviews/pics as well.
7. http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/ great site for aircraft pics and kit reviews

Sorry Mojimbo just to potong jalan for a short while. Boss we have a new recruit. He just PM to me so I ask him to introduce himself in the Intro section of Kaki Model. He's name is Richard (Defender).

Back to websites. I have a lot to but the list is at home.
I see you're a Dilbert fan Mojimbo. My brother is a fan too, got all the books. I enjoy Dilbert too.

Besides Amorama, I use to surf the Special forces sites a fair bit and now since I'm currently in WW II most of my sites are just that. Will try to post them tommorrow together with a pic of the Ikea cabinet you wanted to have a look at Mojimbo. Hopefully by then the Kitmaker section is linked.

AFAIK there are 3 local modelling forums i.e: KakiModel, Scale Modellers (the one i mentioned earlier) and another one in cari.com.... in fact i joined the last two but i forgot the passwords la... so i can read the posts but cannot write to the forum... hmmm..

... but still, KakiModel/Armorama is the best i've seen so far...

No lah Boss, Richard sent me a PM introducing himself to me so I mentioned that he can also introduce himself in Kaki Model under the "Introduction Please" section started by you.

Sorry Mojimbo memory poor as usual. Wanted to include my webpage list minus the above 18 years age ones but forgot again. Kitmaker is still out so I can't give you an idea of the cabinet we were talking about earlier at GameCon.

Can't help you also, Beachbum. I have been browsing through the IKEA cat the whole morning. Can't find the shelf either.

Ok, finally brought my list and also my pic on the cabinet but the upload section is still down. Sorry Mojimbo its looks like its not yours and my week.

The following is more like websites I use to go for info.

Here's one that is good for if you need to check out modern day actual camo/webbing/uniform and AFV for mainly American+British forces.
http://www.militaryphotos.net/

Here are some for Mongols and Vikings, another of my favorite topics.
http://www.ismaili.net/Source/1238b.html
[urlhttp://coursesa.matrix.msu.edu/~fisher/hst372/readings/amitai-preiss.html[/url]
http://www.strategypage.com/articles/?target=mongol.htm
http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ancient/vikings/
[urlhttp://www.medievalwarfare.freehomepage.com/custom.html[/url]

Here are a few for WWII:
http://www.axishistory.com/
http://www.101airborneww2.com/
http://www.achtungpanzer.com/pz6.htm
http://www.germanmilitaria.com/
http://herbertholeman.com/para/units/german.php
[urlhttp://www.canadahistory.com/sections/conflict/confwwiijuno.htm[/url]
The last one is pretty good if you want to make maps for dios or even give your figs a map. Just scale down and print. Dip in tea (no milk or sugar of course) and you have an old looking map.

Got a whole bunch for SF and Vietnam but I guess it ain't the main interest here.

After the very cruel post you put up Shairon in the other thread I'm thinking about whether I should include this Vietnam list.

BTW I've written a reply for your most evil post. Here's some vietnam webpages but I've included only some as the list is really long (34 webpages).
