The how-to section is cool, and I have contributed several items myself, but I wouldn't want to see it to become the focus of the site. I think the current balance is perfect.

I agee, how-tos are great, its fun to help someone out. I come here for the pictures. I love looking at them & I love contributing them.

I'd like to contribute more - but finding the time has been hard lately.
I have about 15 years of miniature painting and making custom scenery (sets), so I know a few things, I just need to find the time to sit down, write and make things as well take pictures of it explaining it along the way.

It really is a lot easier then most people believe I'll see if I can find some worth while turtorials from a few miniature pages.

I did two,but it is hard for me,I'm 12 years old,so trying to get it gramaticaly is hard.

Thanks guys,

I get the pictures thing... Photos showcase your story, your cool moment-in-time, your ideas, your mad skills and your love for GI Joe. I get that totally.

I still feel a focus on tutorial based information spurs creative discussion, and from that new photos, new concepts, new dioramas, new stories...

And by no means did I intend to suggest the folks that replied to this thread haven't been sharing their techniques. I've enjoyed reading your instruction and appreciated it...

Simply, I was expressing an idea ~ to pull out some focus on the how-to arena, rather than have it burried in the forum. Whatever form that may look like.

If I'm alone here, that's cool. I'm only one opinion ;-)

The How-to section is at the top of the forums screen all by itself. It is already prominent on the top of the page. I would hate to see JoeDios go away from what it already is. I don't think it would ever happen anyway.

I love the How To's,and i love all the great Pic's.But when you see a Set like Vader's it makes you wonder "how did he do that",and how can i copy it?Then when he show's you how he did it,i'm like man that's a great idea why didn't i think of that?And when Fifth put up all those How To's,i was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was next.And what it was going to look like when he got done,and he never disappointed with any of them either!I got some great idea's on how to build some Dio's of my own from Fifth,and i'm going to try making something like his Bunker Dio here soon.And with Vader's latest Tree How To,i'm definitely going to try that.So keep all the How To's & Pic's coming,they both go together with what we come here for.Great Dio Pic's!!! :D
