Congratulations...you have found your way to the new "asp" site. Please trash your old Bookmark link and Bookmark THIS PAGE instead. If you Bookmarked other sections as well, make sure to trash those too and Bookmark their NEW page ending in ".asp" - NOT ".html"

Now I also need your help... Making the changes I counted over 1,800 pages on my site. WOW - Can you believe that!!!! Now Rebelscum and I are going through it all to make sure we did not miss anything in the code transfer but oversites are strong possibilities. If any of you find broken links can you please e-mail me and tell me about them so we can fix the problem as quick as possible, and get back to bringing you the cool stuff you like about Niubniub's. Thanking you in advance. Frank.

Cool pictures and stuff coming asap

I started working on the Tantive IV diorama where Leia gives the Death Star plans to R2 as well as more sculpts, visitors dioramas and VR's. I will put them online as soon as I am certain all the bugs are cleared of the "asp" site.

SNEAK PEAK at a VR test I made

I've been asked to make something like this for a long time. I am slowly organising a new VR:Movie section, where I will put elaborate recreations of our favourite scenes using my diorama backgrounds and action figures with stop motion photography. If you want to see my first ever test you can go see it here.
Remember it's just a test ;) When I get time to finish the movie it will be better lit and the backgrounds won't shake as much - LOL I thought you might enjoy seeing it anyway. Let me know what you think. Tell me if it's cool or if I am really nuts :)
