Small Scale Military Headquarters

Solido made several diecast versions of the 1:18 jeep. SAS version was in tan and green. They used to be a good value for under $20 but I do not know what they are today!
Check out the SSHQ database for pics.

Miss them? I don't miss them as much as I miss the HUNT! Love the 1/18 scale. Not as large as the 1/6 (collected a lot) but bigger than 1/32 or 1/35 and these old eyes could see the detail! I bought everthing I could find, especially when WalMart discounted. I used to go into WM and TRU and KB Toys ...

I'd like to see some tents!
1/18 WWII/Korea era tents.
MASH tents, Division Headquarter tents, pup tents, equipment storage tents.
Vacuform them and give them some texture. Should be a cheap production cost? Do them in green and do them in tan for that desert look!

Man............ I love the new "Presidential Monsters" series.
Gotta get "Van Palin!"
Creative thinking on somebodies part!

AAaaaa...... I wasted more time running around at least once a week visiting local WalMarts. When my girls went off to College away from home, I had to visit their local TRUs and WMs to see if there was anything different from our area. Not really obsessed, just dedicated. My wife was not happy with...

So, remind me again why we are having a poll about a Dr. Seuss character?

It's worse than you think! Big Brother has available to him for just a minor grant of money and soon to be in the hands of Law Enforcement near you......... "Cellebrite Cell Phone Extraction Device" everything they need to manipulate your data against you! Just make sure they have a warrant before ...

Thanks, Pickel. I don't know how you can keep up?

I will stick with 1/18 ish scale as long as there are various figures and vehicles available (ie. BBI, Indiana Jones...other movie marketing toys), or I run out of pieces I have put away. I have enough boxed armor to keep me going every month for the next three years+. And when you get my age that i...

Cool, WACO Glider in resin would be nice!
But what about an L.C.V.P. Landing Craft?
Can we say H-I-G-G-I-N-S ?

Are you looking for a complete one or just a shell? I have a shell.

Has any one given any thought to Vac-U-Forming the outside walls and roof surfaces? I think some of the 1:32 buildings are done that way. I agree that casting can get expensive. I had even given some thought to using a paper mache' slur in a mold and squeeze out the water and let dry. This method wa...

You could easily customize the Cadillac to be Patton's 1938 model that was the accident car that led to his death. The car was repaired and is now in the George S. Patton Museum. Here is the a link with the story and some pics to get you started: http://www.pattonthirdarmy.com/HeidelbergTrip.html On...

I'd like to see a bunch of 1/18 head sculps of famous pilots as well as high ranking military officers and maybe a few movie figures who played military personel in war films/series. Sorta Tom Hanks meets Vic Morrow, meets Alan Alda........ Seems that would be a good way to get more bang for your bu...

Wow, great looking jeep. Looks even better than the Solido SAS Jeep! It's funny, because some time ago, I took a Solido SAS Jeep, stripped it and painted it to look like a battle worn ETO jeep. Never did complete it all the way, but now I am thinking of going back and finishing it and addressing the...

Well I got my package today with two German Soldiers instead of the two "sets" of six American Soldiers I had ordered. Called Best Services Stores and got the same excuses that they could not supply the order and would refund my payment and I could keep the two German Soldiers I received. Oh joy, jo...

Here is a variation on the Tank located at the AAF Tank Museum.

and a couple pics I took a few years ago.

Take some 1/18 troops/pilots and vehicles out to one of these events and see if they will let you do a photo shoot with their planes.
That would be quite a diorama to beat!

PM sent!

Cast it, and they shall come!

I'm interested. I have been making a template from the 1/6 sidecar and scaling it down. Like this one!

Was going to make it out of sheet styrene and steal the wheels off of another Indy bike.

There is some really cool information and pictures buried on this site! I had a hard time getting away from it. Detailed mission information, POW listings, crews, etc. Great reading!
Thanks for the post.

Bring them on!
I have been wanting a SdKfz 251/20. Was going to make one myself eventually, but if it becomes available.....that would be great!

Now that's a big Wooo Hoooo......
As I did win!
Thanx Jim

Wooo Hoooo......
Another chance to win something!
Thanx
Count me in!!

I would have been in the "TOP 5" but I lost 7000+ in the Enron Scandal!
