  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

How do you post one big pic (as in the post above me did) instead of thumbnails? I uploaded from my computer and they must not have been the right file or too big.

Ex-Dentist Crafts Insanely Detailed Model Airplanes




Young C. Park, retired dentist of Honolulu, Hawaii, has satisfied a life long interest in model airplanes with his meticulous, incredibly detailed models of the Corsair and P-51 Mustang. Pictured below is Young Park's Corsair. Via the Internet Craftsmanship Museum, "The wings fold, the wheels and hook retract and the controls work. This aircraft took about 6000 hours over a period of 5 years to build...Using tweezers, the controls can be moved. All cables and linkages are in place to work the wing control surfaces as well. Young Park has since carved a pilot's face and hands from solid aluminum and built an articulated pilot to sit in the cockpit."

Great, great thread....

I am no artist, even my stick men don't look like stick men...but I do have an idea for a painting if ya'll would like to hear it.

I really like the works of Danny Hahlbohm (link) who inspired the image I have in my mind that my hand cannot paint..

Ok here goes and I apologize now for not knowing correct artistic terminology...or even good English of that matter.

Sideview....

guy on his knees praying in the center facing to the left. To his immediate left is a translucent Christ with his hands stretched out (like the cross, but not on a cross) facing the praying man. From the top left edge is a beam of light (God) shooting down through Christ onto the praying man causing him to glow. This light might come from a cloud (like alot of paintings show God).

This part is to show how Christ stands between us and God so that we are seen as holy and pure...and all prayer goes through Him.

To the right (behind the praying man) is a knight in the Biblical holy armor (also glowing) with his back to the back of the praying man in full defensive mode (facing right). To the right of him is a pit with various demons (each signifying an individual sin) crawling/flying slithering out of it (temptations) attacking/trying to slip past the knight in armor (Holy Ghost).

This part is to represent our constant battle on earth against the powers of Satan.

The background is an arena with a a crowd of different people of all ages, cultures, and races all watching the scene with different expressions on their faces...some innocently questioning looking at the praying man, some at peace, some with the "I know how you feel" look, and some looking toward Christ and the beam of light, even some in disgust (harden hearts) maybe even a "hear, speak, see no evil depiction...there is so much that can be represented in the background this is just a few examples. The world sees the Christian in many different ways...

Anyways, the painting as a whole is to show the witnessing Christian and the posture we should most be found by others...on our knees praying to God.
