Updated Approved Vendor's List

[Chaos[CMD-DCA]]

Hey ya'll

I am seeing more and more questions on here and "Spacebook" pages about "who is the best?, what vendor's are available?" etc,. I am very proficient with the "search" feature of the forums and have been able to find some pretty obscure topics, but I think it might be a good task for 2020 to update the "Spec Ops Approved Vendor's" section. I know it's a huge undertakings but one that I think is necessary and would be willing to assist others work on this as best I can. I am still in the sandbox so my "off work" time is still limited but I can try and assist where I can.

As a side note, for those TX's out there that are active on the numerous Star Wars "Spacebook" pages, and see questions like the above posted there, make an overt effort to send them this way to our Forums. There is a plethora of subject matter experts and knowledge bases here and it helps to un-muddle some of the misinformation new recruits may be getting from the "Spacebook" Warriors.

So what ur saying is you are close to a spot in life where I can finally “hire” you??? Lololol.

And yea you are absolutely right.  It needs updating

And yes you are also right...the forums the forums the forums. Thank you for reiterating that.  Anything we can do to make this place a better resource (as it is the place that directly affects what is Legion approved and not) I am for 100%.

LOL yeah just about there! I'm more of a "part time" hire for right now, but things are slowing down right now with winter coming and the arrival of "Snow Days" makes it easier.

you are correct sir.  the unfortunate fact is that in this modern world, many people (all those I have worked with ) have never been to a forum, don't know how they work, etc, and spacebook is the easy, instant go to.   I find it full of misinformation, and "buy mine cause its best/ cheapest/ available".    ive brought many many people into a forum, and lterally watched their brain smoke as they try to process all the topics on the index page.   

Ill continue to try to get them in here.

David, That's all we can ever hope to accomplish. We can provide people with the resources and if they choose not to go the correct route then that is on then. 

Funny you should mention the "instant go to"  I see people posting " I know it has probably been asked etc, but I can't find it" and then I type in the search area exactly what they asked and instantly it shows me a poop-ton of posts. LOL sometimes I have to reign in my "WTF are you that F-ing Lazy" comments. God forbid I hurt someone's feelings because I have to realize that not everyone knows how to operate the piece of equipment they have been given.

its the exact same in the model buiidling communities.  Before I post a question in like the Finescale Modeler forum, I do  several searches cause those guys will not hold back in berating a person for not searching, especially a topic like "how do I airbrush" that literlaly has over a thousand responses.
