It’s the XLBS Show………..Happy Sunday fellow CoGs! . . @warzan I use Paypal a lot for exactly the same reason. If I get scammed, (which doesn’t happen much these days, thank God), I can fall back to Paypal to possibly get some satisfaction hopefully. . Oh boy..love me some B5! Story by J. Michael Straczynski, CGI by Amiga, and the NEWTEK Toaster! I was such a B5 nerd that I even made a B5 uniform, (the black one they changed to after they defied Earth Gov), to wear at SciFi conventions, (that’s back when I was skinny). Now I can… Read more »
I am starting a project specifically for that. I’ll do a post later on ship classes and numbers for ABS
Thanks much! ??

starting the discussion, yay…up late
Great show and thoughtful ending. It was a long time since i watched but it was a favorite. Don’t make shows like that anymore.
Happy Sunday Everyone!
Happy Sunday Cogs!

Lovely golden button work! Anyone else awaiting your Infinity Defiance rewards arriving soon, clear your hobby desk, stock up on superglue and dig out those fine files and tweezers!
Some sad news for all fans of Babylon 5 from this week.

About 12 hours after we finished filming. I’ve added a bit to my project since.
For you Gerry

Yes, sorry to see Mira Furlan pass.
Man alive, Warren!! That hobby area looks more beautiful every time I see it. Serious kudos to you Sir. …. (and no; it wasn’t just the full beer fridge)
It’s the XLBS crackjacks YAYYYYYYYYyyyyyyyy
What about a curtain to hide the shelves? @warzan
Babylon 5 was ****ing great. Joe Strascynski is a godsdamned genius for what he accomplished with that show. And modern serialized tv shows owe such a debt to B5 for showing that it could be done. Just a shame that the cast seems near cursed with a large number of the core cast having passed away, many of them quite suddenly, most recently Delen herself Mira Furlan in the last couple of days. I think a rewatch may be in order. Oh, and on a lighter note, if you want a feel for B6-styled space combat with relativistic physics, I… Read more »
I didn’t know that Mira Furlan had died. That was a surprise.
I remember when the two new extended ‘The Lost Tales’ episodes were released ten years after the final series had been broadcast and there was already a small list of absentees that were ‘exploring beyond the galactic rim’ and what have you.
Have you tryed the instant hot water kettles may be cheaper Guy’s
God dammit! Am I going to have to watch B5 for a 6th time now? I’ve got so much other stuff I’m trying to catch up on!
Happy Sunday everyone from a snowy Wales. Lovely Golden Buttons today and great show ?
Great work with the DIY @warzan! Edge lighting for LEDs looks awesome. I’ve never actually tried it with glass, but with translucent acrylic sheets, not only does edge lighting look great, but you can (laser) engrave onto the surfaces, and the light shines out from the engraved area. Would be interesting to see if engraved edge lighting works on glass – imagine something like a necron army standing on a fancy engraved, glowing, illuminated shelf…
Ooh Gerry is doing a wild Gerry tribe.
More than one
Lol Gerry is the new Spartacus?
Never, ever fall for the Facebook ads! Those of us who have, only ever do it once. Mine was the super-cool DM “secret message” pens that disappear when you expose them to heat (the Facebook advert showed a hiroglyph message that the DM passed a candle over and the extraneous ink disappeared, exposing the secret message). I thought it was a really nice idea for sending stuff to my little nephew in the post. £28 for a single pen. But worth it to see his funny little face when the “magic happened”. After three weeks, I’d still not received my… Read more »
You not stealing it’s a tribute fleet @avernos
What about getting ships from B5 wars for your carrier’s Gerry?
too large, I considered one for a dreadnought but in the grand scheme of things they are fine the way they are
Ooh ok worth a try.
The great thing about the knights is that the Lord’s were constantly falling out with each other so you can have wee battles of knights fighting for their Lord’s
Nice one guy’s
And another of the B5 crew gone R.I.P Delenn.
I think this is the book

that’s the one
If you can find the audio version read by Edmund Dehn it is far better than the one read by Jonathan Keeble
For info the one read by Tim Pigott Smith is the abridged version
the first one is Jonathan Keeble narrating @torros
m not sure if the four of them are the full book but this is the second half of the Excalibur novel

A nice send off there at the end for Mira Furlan.
@lloyd Voyevoda is a rank of state/king/duke administration leader for certain area (at the level of province in Ireland). The title is still used in Poland – ask your wife.
Will do 🙂
