Re: Replacement parts wish list

They snap. I’m working on a way to get the cost down for a full set. The big tanks had a lot of tracks and the cost jumps up very quickly.

Re: 1:18 Panzer I project - New video 8-06-2020

Thank you for the positive feedback everyone! Some requested a photo of the tracks installed so here you go. Note that the Panzer I could run with either 87 or 88 links installed. I presume(?) this had to do with ground conditions, speed, traction desired, etc. Anyway, this is with all 88 links. htt...

Re: 1:18 Panzer I project - New video 8-06-2020

These took me a while to get right but I am very happy with the new working snap tracks for the Panzer I. Now that this is out of the way, on to the final version of the hull.

Photos didn't do them justice so here is a video:

Re: 1:18 Panzer I project - New pics 4-19-2020

A short update: I hit a few major stumbling blocks on some of my larger projects like the Panzer I and the Flak 38 that slowed me down. The good news is that the Flak 38 is done and will be released next week so I can now focus my time on finishing up the Panzer I.

1:18 Flak 38 - Fully painted 9-3-2020

Hi guys, It's taken me a while but I was finally able to find time and remaster the original Battleground Flak 38. There is a ton of additional detail, bolts, rivets, hooks, diamond plating, vents and more. The Flak rotates 360 degrees and has about 60 degrees of elevation. The gun magazines fit ont...

Re: Do we really want new WWII figures?

"Perhaps more optional arms and legs molded in various positions like a few offerings did." <- this! I didn't realize how spoiled I was by 21st Century and Dragon fixed arms and legs. Even with Hasbro class articulation from Marauder some poses like aiming down sights on a rifle are near impossible.

What material is used for this model? Thank you NSA. It's a challenging project but it's looking good so far. Josef, the majority of the parts are plastic. The main body will either be plastic or a plastic/carbon fiber blend. I'm testing options now to try to balance the right mix of durability, de...
