Re: 1/18 BBI Abrams with Mine Plow?

Re: Sticky parts at the BBI F16 Wolfpack

I had the same problem with a BBI F-16 I bought years ago. I used a teaspoon of baking soda mixed with water until it formed a paste. Using my finger I rubbed it in circular motions on the problem areas. I cleaned it off with water and a soft cloth. I read about this problem and its solution back th...

Re: Elite Force Naval Gunboat

The ProBoats R/C Alpha Patrol Boat is 1/18 scale and a great representation of the Vietnam era PBR which often ferried the Navy Seals. I have one on display in my hobby room which always draws peoples attention.

Re: Elite Force Naval Gunboat

I agree, I may do a conversion to make it a bit more realistic sometime in the future.

Re: Elite Force Naval Gunboat

It’s modeled after a navy seal SWCC boat. Not a bad representation of the actual craft with the exception of the surveillance drone and launcher.

Re: Merry Christmas !!!

I too frequent the forum. I’m hoping to start posting some pictures of conversions as soon as I get settled in Texas. We moved from California and I benefited by my better half allowing (if you’re married you get it) me to have the large room upstairs (she said she does not need to go upstairs). Th...

Re: New Armor For 2021

I personally would like to see more Vietnam armor, M551 Sheridan, M42 Duster and a M108 Self Propelled Howitzer. That would be my list in addition to the 105mm Howitzer. As far as WWII amor I’d like to see a Sherman Calliope conversion in addition to the Easy 8, M-36 and M-3 already listed. My two c...

Re: Collect or Use and Display?

I really enjoy the hobby, I display about 1/4 of my collection and try to rotate them when I can. I enjoy converting some of the vehicles. I think I’ve converted at least 8-9 M113 APC into either Vietnam APC’s or the M113’s used by the U.S. in Iraq, thanks to Pickelhaube (aka Matt). I’ve also worked...

Re: Area-21 news

That was very interesting. It’s amazing when you know the stories behind what happened to the major 1/18 scale military producers like 21st Century Toys, Admiral, BlueBox and JSI along with some of the producers of conversions like that horror story behind Skyworks. It’s a real shame that some of t...
