Hi all well the body panels are screwed down (what a royal PITA) that took 2 hrs and a lot of inventive words of rather nasty connotations, still it's done now.
Nearing completion tbh this kit is not that great (due mostly to Revell using the cheapest production methods and the cheapest materials) (I know that to be true as italari's productions of ex protar kit are in another galaxy to this kit) that said it looks OK and I'm just glad I didn't pay the price I've seen some of this kit go for on Ebay if I'd paid 350 quid for it I would be very upset.
jbwelda: The owner of this website (drasticplastics.proboards.com) has banned your IP address (54.177.161.40).

jbwelda: have to log into a canadian server to access the site. Next I will use a Russian one and set the viri free

HotRodTom: jbwelda: It ain't Bob that has banned you. You evidently have a spoofed IP. Take a look at this link: www.lookip.net/ip/54.177.161.40 Unless, of course, you are a secret associate of Mr Bezos and have your own server at Amazon.

HotRodTom: It may be that your router or firewall is sending you some bad DNS translation and spamming you out. I wouldn't think that you need to log in to any particular region server to access a site. Perhaps you can flash your DNS table.

jbwelda: thank you Tom, that was interesting. Funny thing is, today did not have the problem, i am somehow using a different ip but it is still linked to Amazon according to that site. I have no idea how this is happening...

jbwelda: maybe my isp is using ips through amazon or something, but I certainly am not doing anything special other than changing servers to acquire a different ip that does seem to work here and that entails using a foreign server.

jbwelda: I was planning on having lunch with Jeff later this week to discuss his partnership with Elon and perhaps get a ride on their rocket so I will bring it up with him at that point. Many thanks again!

jbwelda: Also that "flash your DNS table" part...any details on that before I just google it? Thanks again again!
May 27, 2023 13:38:42 GMT -5
jbwelda: ah perhaps you meant "flush your DNS table"...that seems a bit more doable
May 27, 2023 13:42:34 GMT -5
HotRodTom: Sometimes I use vernacular that may seem peculiar. Flash/flush, potato/spud.... Reload your DNS table. Somehow it is resolving your IP as an Amazon server in the above-mentioned case. That will certainly get you spoof-blocked.

jbwelda: Thanks again Tom, funny thing is, this current IP also resolves to an Amazon address but seems to work just fine. jb

HotRodTom: It's an interweb thing.....

jbwelda: ha ha happened again...this is getting really tedious. now i am in canada and working well

jbwelda: wow like three whole people logged on yesterday...I feel like a rat on a sinking ship!

jbwelda: NNL West is today, anyone going? Its going to be crazy around there what with the footsball game next door. First time in a while I am avoiding it but hope someone posts some photos.
Jan 20, 2024 12:51:40 GMT -5
jbwelda: heard it was announced that next year will be the last NNL West. Another one bites the dust.
