Thread: Hi, call me Sidewinder

    Hi, call me Sidewinder

    Just registered and I'm in the middle of my first kit build. I already have plans for 2 more. I've been filming them and posting the progress to YouTube.

    Welcome Aboard. Feel free to start a diary and share your vids here. I personally like pics, but vids are cool too.

    Interesting user name, don't suppose 'o7 CMDR' means anything to you? Or are you a fan of snakes/missiles.

    Thanks for the welcome. I lived in the Sonoran desert in Arizona for 35 years and have had to remove numerous Sidewinders from my yard. I always thought the name was cool and I started a Youtube channel under that name where I have decided to post the videos of various guitar builds.

    If interested here it is. I already have my next two kits picked out and both are from Pitbull.

    There will be two more videos in this series once the special order paint arrives.

    Elite Dangerous looks really good. Reminds me of Freespace. But I must resist, don't have time to get drawn into something like that. I only just got over a renewed modded Minecraft phase. I would never finish my tele if I get a new game...

    And hi Sidewinder. Welcome to the forum.

    Dans onto it, common in game greeting for Elite Dangerous, and the ship you start with is a Sidewinder (a lot of them are named after snakes) I've been playing Elite since the late 80's/Early 90's Mostly Elite 2 Frontier on the old Amiga 500. I backed the Kickstarted for Dangerous and really enjoy it, I don't get enough time in it to grind up to the bigger ships, but I have a good setup that is enough for dropping in for an hour and killing some pirates.

    The special order paint finally shipped yesterday. I'm using a 2 part "High Impact" automotive paint and finding it in anything other than 1 gallon quantities was hard but I did find a small company out of Louisiana that provides it in 12oz spray cans.
