Do speak your mind, that is what the forum is for after all.
Regarding the blogs : The intention is to house that in the gallery section "The army off...) I suppose we could allow thread-linking from there.
The B&P is intended for all aspects of model-making. Whether those use a brush and palette or not.
We also oppose too many sub-sections. Keeps your eyes and mind more open not to have them.
Since you're ploughing through the B&P in search of blogs anyway, I'd appreciate if you collected the links while you're at it. It's a task I'd have to undertake later this year anyway...
