Small Scale Military Headquarters

Nice! A big improvement over the original paint. I'm tempted to give my Hen Long Tiger a repaint

Yes I'm a Groundpounder, reporting for duty Sir.
I rarely post but still check out the site regularly.

Wow! That kicks AS#!.

B17
ME 110
B25
F15

I've been hooked since the first ME 109 and P 51 came out. Has it really been 10 years? The good ol' TOYS R US days bring back fond memories.

Looking at all the post totals for all the other guys who joined this forumn in Oct 2004, I feel like a real slacker.

Thanks Aferg,

I just ordered the ballista and aquifier but by mistake orderd a pilum thrower instead of the cavalry guy, oh well

I too like the FOV Germans and would like them more if they didn't mostly come with a MP-40 or 44 pouch, yet no MP 40 or 44. I wish they would come out with different colored smocks and a bunch of k 98's with the pouches. They do fit in well with the 21st figs IMO.

I'm with you Chet. I'd love a Huey and at 60$, I'd be ecstatic. I know I'll get a P-38 for sure, the others I don't know.

Maybe 1. The thing is so huge, I have to judiciously allot display space for any new planes.
I would for sure get a F-15, as I see them fly past my house at least 1-2 times a week and feel a bit of a connection to them.

Funny that many of the items I've purchased for great prices from MD, I would have been glad to have paid retail for if I could have found them at my local Walmarts. The Avenger, I looked for many times and could never find it when they came out a couple of years ago, I'd have plunked down $70.00 in...

Thanks for the post aferg, very interesting and thanks to you Teamski for the link to the old thread, your ships are pretty darned impressive. And talking of impressive, that Corsair from that German site is freaking insane. The detail blows my mind and seeing it built step by step was interesting.

I think we're being hit by early April Fools merriement here in the USA

WAAAAHHHHHH..... For real?

Maybe I'm nuts but I'm not convinced 21st Century is dead. I admit it doesn't look good but they've been on the ropes before in the last 8 or 9 years and have always come back.

BTW..Aviatornut is REALLY tryin to push those same Dragon figs for a slightly better price.[/quote]

I went to the site and no prices were listed for Dragon product. Everything else was listed.

I checked MD again, just a short while after ordering the Dragon Americans and what do I see the danged Dragon Germans. So now I have got to order these but I wasn't able to select US 1st class for 2.50 like I was able to on the Americans. I added a pak40 and that took the Fedex shipping to 9.00 fro...

Does anyone Know of a source for buidings that work well with 1:18 scale?
I know of the 21st century items and the Build-a-rama corner ruin. I was hoping for correct sized doll house items etc.
Thanks for any info.

Are you sure your son isn't adopted? a lot of cool stuff. You did an excellent job on your 1:6 Stuart, I'm still afraid to cut the skirts off, 7 years after buying mine.

Thanks fpr the pics. The Roman looks pretty darn good. Except for the way too thick Cheek plates on the helmet and the wierd cut on the front of his tunic, he's damn near perfect. I especially like the shield(scutum) and Belt (balteus).
Where did you buy them? I think I need a couple.

Welcome

The areas of missing zimmerit don't look all that well done to me. I also agree with all the other unimpressed comments about the paint.

You guys crack me up. Thanks for the excitement.

Good luck Pcoughran on your mission W/O the wife. Igot a M1 Abrams 2 days ago because of free travel W/O the wife. I know what you're going through .

I can feel your...er my wallet feels the pain. I'm only an 88, M3, the Bulldog and an Avenger plus a few figs into it but damn I'm unemployed. What the hell, I can still make house payments for another year an a half with out a job. Well thats a partial salve, I guess. I know the feeling with 1:6 bu...

Thanks guys.
I'm convinced. After the wife leaves for work tommorow, I'm going to go pick up a camo version at Target. I was suprised seeing the comparison pics with the BBI M1 that I thought FOV wins hands down.
