Hi from The War shop! - Aircraft of World War II

TheWarshop · 07-27-2009, 02:07 PM

Hello everyone, my name is Daniel and I just started a new online resource for WWII enthusiasts called The War shop. We are trying to do our part to keep WWII history alive through model building and sharing information. We are just getting started and have a modest selection of model kits and books. Some of the things on the site include a Modelers Blog where topics are discussed from current builds to techniques to reference. There is also a Travelers Blog, links to museums all around the world, model photo gallery and YouTube Channel. We will have the capability for Netflix users to browse and watch WWII movies on our site as well. If you get a chance, pay us a visit at

Thanks!

While your site looks really cool, it seems that your site is mostly set up to sell items. We do not allow links to such sites without prior approval from the admin/moderating team. We do this for several reasons:

1. We are a non profit site. We will not make any money from your site, so why should you make money from our site?

2. It is to protect the members of our site.

If you wish to advertise your site, then please contact one our moderators or administrators for permission.

Thanks!

Agree with everything Alder has stated. Hope you stick around despite this.

Doubt it, that was the sole purpose of the thread. To place one post with a link to their site.

The site was a store where you could buy models and military books. While it is cool and does go along with our site, he still should have asked for permission from the site admin or moderators before posting the link. It is not like we are picking on him either, that is the rules we use with everyone.

Dear members,

I must apologize for the message regarding the introduction to The War shop. It was not my intent to intrude with marketing spam. While The War shop IS an online store for modelers, it is also a community like this one to help keep WWII history alive and educate younger generations. Please accept our apology. We would very much like to be part of your community.

Daniel
