You gotta love the banner comments at the top of the page!

 

Mods/Admins, I'll live if y'all have to delete this message for fear of it stoking controversy or outrage.

Now that's a company mission statement.  Soon to be blocked, deleted and well, you know the deal..........and one, two, three LSP moderators?

Speaking strictly for myself, I'm fine with it. Assuming the members themselves don't take it somewhere ugly, there'll be no need for intervention.

A very forthright statement, at a time of enormous crisis in Ukraine. I cannot criticize the content, considering the whole situation. 

 

Cheers.

Since you DID mention the Skycrane, whenever somebody calls my helicopter a "plane" I always say "there's NOTHING plane about helicopters..."

Well, that's a very clear code of conduct

 

Just bought one more ICM kit (not there, but it counts too) to support the people there.

I ought to have my ass kicked for this, but I bought an ICM Beaufort from them.

So, my model arrived, adorned with substantial quantities of Ukrainian stamps:

 

 

And inside an ICM kit in more or less perfect condition:

 

 

Admittedly, this was something of a sympathy purchase. And I'd NEVER advise anyone short on pocket change to order a kit from a warzone. However, it did serve my, perhaps, ham-handed desire to express a degree of solidarity with modelers eight time-zones distant. I'm gonna save the stamp sheets to display with the model.

 

Hope the war ends soon, for the sake of all involved.

Yes, lots of stamps are common for international shipping from Ukraine. And it takes some time, especially nowadays, but they are reliable. Not to forget the bulletprrof wrapping, which is a hallmark of online shops in the ex-soviet countries

 

What is this for a boardgame below the parcel?

A good gesture on your part, Ivanmoe. As you say, let's hope that this horrible conflict is resolved very soon (although I suspect it won't be, unfortunately, and the Ukrainian people will suffer more).

 

Cheers.

I ordered some Foxbot digital camo masks from Ukraine just after the war started. The order was cancelled not long after because of the situation but rather than taking my money back i told the seller to keep it. Like you @ivanmoe it's just a little gesture but one i am willing to make.
