Twin Oaks Armoury

 

Over the years, I have bought eight or ten medieval helmets.  None of these helmets ever fit properly, or were poorly made.  The bottom line was that I was never satisfied with what I found.  Then I came across James Perego of Twin Oaks Armoury.  Mr. Perego makes all sorts of armor for SCA, LARP and Renaissance Festival goers.  As a businessman, Mr. Perego is a man of honor.  His prices are right, and he delivers on his promises.  As an Armorer, Mr. Perego is a creative genius, as well as a talented artisan.  I asked him to make me a Norman-style helm, and provided him with the dimensions I wanted.  He quickly delivered exactly what I wanted!

We see technology as a tool that makes model fabrication easier, faster and more cost effective, parts – sharp and deadly precise, and take off the team an aggravation of performing annoying self repeating operations. We have and widely use all technological processes, starting from resin cast and finishing with large format CNC machining, which may save us time and free our hands in order to perform more important tasks.  Over the years we worked hard to develop our firm into a one stop center for model making, product development and presentation support services. Our goal is to provide the highest quality assistance for different type of customers, whether they are Architects, Museums, Exhibit Designers, Film Makers, Collectible and Toy Manufacturers or Inventors.

Strothertowne Pet Hospital

 

Strothertowne Pet Hospital is a new business being run by an old hand at veterinary medicine, Dr. Warren B. Jones, DVM.  Dr. Jones is our vet of choice for our Great Danes.  Warren has worked closely with me through small issues such as standard immunizations up to and including life-or-death emergency surgeries.  While Dr. Jones is in business to make a living and feed his family, he is in veterinary medicine because he truly cares about his patients, and goes above and beyond the call of duty to give his patients quality of life.  I have seen far too many veterinarians whose only purpose is to wring a few more dollars out of a pet owner, and who really don't give a damn about the animal involved.  I have worked with Dr. Jones through the night as he fought to save a dog of mine, only to see him start work at normal office hours and work all day, without missing a beat.  Warren is one of my personal heroes and a true humanitarian.  If it were in my power, I'd give Dr. Jones a medal for what he does, but he's so humble I doubt he would accept it.  If you are looking for a First Class Veterinarian in the Kansas City area to give your pet the care they deserve, then look no further than Dr. Warren Jones and Strothertowne Pet Hospital in Lees Summit, Mo.  You can click the link above to visit his website, or simply call: 816-524-7200 for an appointment.  "Trusted Care From Our Heart, For Those That Have Your Heart"

 

 

 

ArmyAirForce.co.uk & SACarr.co.uk - The webpages of Stephen A Carr

 

"With a over 26 years of R/C modelling experience, no project is too large or small for the Warbird Factory. I specialise in scale warbirds, but I'm happy to quote for any other type, except for rotary wing aircraft.

 

Kit, plan and scratch built models are all possible, as well as completion of part built projects and the renovation of old models. All complete build projects are quoted as a fixed project price, where as repairs, renovations and completion of part built models are charged at a set hourly rate.

 

All build quotes are plus the cost of all adhesives, hardware and finishing products used during the build. Many hardware items such as retracts, engines etc, can also be supplied if required."

 

Besides The Warbird Factory, Mr. Carr has section of his website devoted to his restored WW2 Flight Control Jeep and Dodge vehicles, and a huge section of very interesting photos of aircraft, models and armored vehicles.  Truly, a website worth visiting!
