Small Scale Military Headquarters

I just received a very nice item from lsc1002. Fairly priced, well-packaged, and mailed promptly. Thanks.

No wonder I haven't found a single one of those in San Antonio. I want a Pak 40!

It looks like 21st used the same cab for their Blitz and Maultier, although the Blitz should not have the cutout at the rear of the cab near the running board for the Maultier tracks: http://i8.ebayimg.com/03/i/000/77/7e/1a94_1.JPG But I recall seeing pics of one that was correct. Are there two vers...

hey Gary do you work for 21st?

Work? You can't use four-letter words here!

I'd LOVE to see a 1:18 Puma. Best looking armored car ever. Plus, 21st could easily make the 234/4 version with their Pak 40. Here's one in 1/6th I made using a plasticpanzers Puma hull and the 21st 1/6 Pak: http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-7/1200383/DSC02183.jpg You can get a 1:32 version of the...

"replace the 75mm turret on the existing Sherman, and upgun it with a 76mm gun. Take out those Tigers and Panthers!"

That's what I call an honest and conscientious seller. Nice doing business with somebody like that.

I just had to try one too. Here are some shots of the construction and the final product. http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-11/1228693/DSC02205.jpg http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-11/1228693/DSC02207.jpg http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-11/1228693/DSC02208.jpg http://img.villagephotos.com/p...

rommelvon is new here, but mentioned he had a collection of 1:18 tanks and vehicles he wanted to sell. I sent him a money order, and he shipped them out the same day. All are exactly as described, and I am very satisfied.

Thanks, Charlie, you lucky dog!
They will probably make it down here this time next year.
Too bad they left the hangers for the Shutzen on it. Those didnt come until the H model.

Sounds like an early Pz IV, probably a D model with the short 75mm gun.

Or it could be a Pz III J which had the same gun.

Pz IIs only had a 2 cm gun.

Can you post a pic?

I like the casting job! Any chance you will offer the castings after you are done? Yes, I can do that. But I'm not happy with the first versions and I will re-do the masters. When you see I have posted the final version, shoot me a PM as I am new here and not permitted to post in the buy/sell secti...

Here are a couple shots of a 1:18 Jagdpanzer IV/70 Lang conversion in progress. http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-7/1200383/DSC02194.jpg http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-7/1200383/DSC02195.jpg The white parts are .080 thick sheet styrene. The barrel is a 3/8" hardwood dowel tapered, and the man...

Great work! You can be very proud of that.

Thanks for all the nice comments. I finally got the decals and finished it. This one has gone to Ebay (Item number: 170048875056). I may or may not make more of them as I am working on a 1:18 Jagdpanzer IV conversion in addition to all my 1/6th projects. http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-7/1200383...

Where can I get one? I only see the 21st Corsair for sale. thanks.

Whereyat?

It seems to make a big difference if they are mint in the unopened box or otherwise. MIB items are worth roughly 50% more, maybe even higher for some items.

BTW....Gary, it's nice to see you here, leaving the "Dark Side" for awhile. TTT It's all your fault, Charlie! First you sold me those 1:18 Dodges then the 1:6th Scout Car so I had a pattern to make the 1:18 halftrack conversion. Now I find myself running to a Walmart every other day. How can I ever...

Looks nice but the scales are off. The gun is 1/16 and looks very good with the carriage. The FAMO half-track on a M-3a1 chasis is way off. Much too small for the gigantic FAMO half-track. The scale would be closer to a Demag half-track, which in itself would be too small to tow an 88mm gun. More l...

Very good work!
Ain't it fun making something the plastic Gods didn't intend for us to have?

Item number: 270048882810.
Interesting. Looks like he took the barrel from a Tiger. Is this the same guy who did the Sturmtiger? If so, that's a good way to economize on parts, even though it is not strictly correct.

Thanks for the kind comments, and for the tip on John's Stuff decals. Those and a 30 hanging on the back should improve it. I did not take any pics of the work in progress, but I will next time as I will build a couple more for those who requested them. If there is enough interest, I might run off a...

I've sure others have converted a 21st M3A3 halftrack to a White scout car. Here's my attempt: http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-7/1200383/DSC02160.jpg http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-7/1200383/DSC02162.jpg http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-7/1200383/DSC02163.jpg 3 The rear is made from .060...
