You have got to love old war posters. Here are two from one of my local sandwich shops called the Covert Cafe www.covertcafe.com. Highly recommend them! They also have a great spy/WWII theme to the place. Pecan bat, San Pelegrín , Cuban sandwich and some chicken poblano soup.
Orcada Media Group would like to present Vint Hill Craft Winery's new website www.vinthillcraftwinery.com. This is one of our latest projects.
Vint Hill's winery is located in ‘The Listening Post’ (aka Monitoring Station #1) on one of the nation’s most covert Army bases. Their building originally served as a dairy barn for more than 100 years before becoming a secret Army post. Fascinating history and fabulous wines are served there. With a 100-barrel capacity, they boast small quantities of a wide variety of varietals – there is something new to taste on every return trip! Located in Warrenton, VA. Vint Hill labels are based off the Pin Up girl which originated during WWII with the nose art that was displayed on American Bombers and Fighters.

I can finally share what I have been working on for the past several months. I have been redesigning Detail and Scale’s website.
ww.detailandscale.com
Just announced, “Detail & Scale is very pleased to announce that our website at www.detailandscale.com has been completely redesigned and updated and now has a whole new look!
Our new website provides improved search capabilities, ease of purchase of new and past publications, enhanced photo galleries of real aircraft, and two sections for scale aircraft modelers. This sleek new design is mobile friendly and easy to navigate with a three-character minimum search function.
The website has a section dedicated to providing information about all of our publications, which are available in both printed and digital formats.
The Military Aviation Archives Section provides numerous photo galleries of aircraft that feature both general and detail photographs covering many different types from World War I biplanes to today's combat aircraft. The MAA galleries provide an extensive free reference source for military aviation enthusiasts.
For the scale aircraft modeler, one section provides comprehensive reviews of kits, after market sets, decals, and books. A second section contains photos of built models from the Detail & Scale Collection, various contests, and models built by some of the best builders around. These can help inspire and provide ideas for scale modelers of any experience and skill level.
Thanks to Scott Bricker and Orcada Media for designing the new Detail and Scale.”
