Re: Bm 13 katyusha

Just a thought but would anyone want a Japanese tank? They are relatively small and 21st century made WWII Pacific Marines and Japanese figures. Might be something different and not quite as expensive as the larger vehicles. Bob

Re: New Mods - 21c M-113 Customized to a Vietnam War M-113 A

I made mine a very long time ago so the items may not be available. I used strip styrene by Evergreen Scale models #293 for the engineering stakes [ angle iron ] from a hobby shop and Adfors Fiba Tape by Saint-Gobain from Home Depot for the rolled up fencing. Like I said, a long time ago. Good luck....

I bought several when they came out. I made one into a captured Japanese bunker with the officer laying on top with his sword out and 3 of the Pacific Marines standing around. The wrap around backdrop adds a lot. Bob

I'm really OCD so I have lists of all the figures and vehicles and whether they are opened or not. This is military, Star Wars, Indiana Jones etc. I know what I have but not necessarily where it is. Kinda got outa hand but fun.

A couple of months ago the seller from China who seemed to be the only one on eBay to have these in any quantity put them on deep discount. They were on for several years at the original price. I just looked and can't find any.

Re: Dragon Armor 1/35 Tiger Tank & Diorama Base

if I may just add a reason why all the knocked out tigers had no mg. When the crew or survivors left the tank they would take it with them for offense/defense. easily removed and a lot of fire power. Just a thought. Bob
