Ah yes the Lighting 118th...for electrician fans who like just under 120 volts.

EDIT - a joke that didn't work...from my iPhone that F looked like an L

Another awesome banner from Red!

I like seeing the old logo again but man it just makes me appreciate Bee's even more.

Whoops.

Yeah I meant to change it yesterday but I forgot, and that one looked so good it's hard not to want to keep it.

Back to the grind! Here is ANOTHER one by Red and his crazy awesome landing craft thing.

Only a couple left with the old logo, then we'll be moving on to some of the newer ones.

This might be Red's best one. I'm fairly certain this picture was the one that was on HBO's The Pacific's website by mistake. You know you did it right when Hollywood mistakes your dio for real and steals it. :)

huzzah!

Here is our original, ORIGINAL banner for The Fighting 1:18th.

This was done by Paul Pratt way back in the day. Originally the site was going to focus on "olden timey" war imagery and WWII nonsense.

Since then we've come around and made it a more Modern Warfare-themed site, to try and go along with our mixing of 1:18 and G.I. JOE.

But still.. for a last stroll down memory lane..

Oh yeah, I remember that one...wasn't there a whole bunch of similar photos taken at the same time?...or maybe I'm remembering different colorations...

And here is the first banner with what would eventually morph into our new logo. This was about the half-way point between the old and what we have now.

This banner was by MAJOR BLOOD I believe.

I like that "fighting 1:18th" script...though it does take up a ton of space...

Yeah that was the big issue, it didn't really work with our typical banner submissions. If we had a static site logo banner we could probably do something to work around it, but since it changes so much each month it just didn't work.

But it led us to work on and finish our site "badge" which I think turned out awesome.

Ah yes. I remember the days when I used to go out and take pictures. :D That picture was a bit of a pain to do since I had to hide all my tracks too.
