Small Scale Military Headquarters

We'll roll with whatever happens. :wink: At least we're giving it a try. I'll be contacting the powers that be this next weekend. Should have some info by then. Thanks to everyone :!: Keep the suggestions and support coming and we might just get this done. :shock: :p51:

As far as a potential date.....The Museum anniversary Gala is June 8. First considerations will be after that. :idea: If the idea goes through I'd like to survey the no - way, no - how dates, ie, Daughter's wedding, First Communion, going to Disney World, etc., so we don't pick a day when half the p...

Well, I've gotten great feedback :) . I think the positives are enough to make a proposal to the Museumm President. If his reaction is favorable, we will work on a date which is not going to be until after mid June at least. ram04, assuming this becomes a reality, I can't guarantee a spot next to th...

Thanks Phil, As the original post suggested, It would probably be impractical for anyone to make a long trip for such an impromto event that could always turn out to be a bust even with good intentions and commitments. Had one in the hobby of collecting antique Glass and Porcelain Insulators from po...

Try this: :idea: Carefully scrape or sand along all the exterior dimensions with precise consistancy. Keep going around and around until the size reduction is obvious. The overall length and width will be closer to 1/18. The turret and other features will look just a bit over-scale but who's to say ...

This is still in the planning to make a proposal and would it be possible or practical stage. So we may get no further than other attempts. We'll see....

Thanks to Razor17019 for helping me with some 1/18 figures and some good vehicles. The best trades are when both parties pass on something they don't need to someone who is delighted to have the item or items.

Thanks again Mark!

Wanted to thank gliderdwm for the WC-51. He shipped it at light speed :!: Also wanted to thank him for some spare parts to complete a vehicle he so graciously offered me and then shipped to me. They arrived well before I had expected them. They were just what I needed. Great to deal with. :D Thanks ...

Here is the B-25 in hanger 2. It sits to the front now that it is flying more. Still plenty of room, great atmosphere :!: :) http://i1267.photobucket.com/albums/jj541/Axisnightmare/Planes%20and%20family/1mitchhang.jpg This photo was from last year just after the hanger dedication and we have since a...

So far I haven't been told I was out of my mind or that no one would want to participate. Driving distance and gas prices can always be an issue but I was hoping the Museum venue would add to the worthiness of investing time and money in a road trip. More comments? Opinions?

Definately want to hear from anyone, anywhere who has tried or done this, success or failure. What worked? What didn't? Is it even practical to assume people who use an impersonal cyber forum have interest in face to face contact? Or are they more confident with just a cyber handle? Thanks! Dennis

Great ideas coming in

Thanks

My proposal would be in an aircraft hanger with unloading through the 90' hanger door if necessary. No steps, backing right up to a door. I'm proposing a bring your own table(s) event. We have a few banquet tables but bringing what a person needs would dictate their space. Don't see a problem with m...

O.K., Mark, Mitch, Kevin and anyone else in a practical driving distance to the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Tri-State Area. :idea: I'm going to explore the idea of hosting a buy-sell-trade and display swap meet for this geographical area sometime later this summer. The venue I have in mind is the hanger o...

Maybe Hobby Lobby will pick those up. The home of that wallet saving 40% off coupon.

That is one heck of a record for a single gun. Would trucks and halftracks be included in that tally? I wonder if there is any data on how many allied Shermans, like the symbol on the 88, were lost to 88's. Many hundreds? Over a thousand?

Hello,

I might be interested in the Panther depending on the price. Any figure with it? I am assuming it is loose too?

Thanks,

Dennis

(I do get a kick out of the smiley faces )

A PM was sent for the WC-51

Both our post war Army Jeep and the WWII Marine one on loan to the Museum have the .30 mounted. It's not that complex and could probably be an easy scratch-build. I'll have to study ours a little more and take some measurements. Might add one to my Gates Jeep.

Just completed a multiple package transaction with warbike. He did a magnificent job of building custom sized boxes and bomb proof packing. I was updated every step of the way and everything fell right in place.

Thanks again Jason!

Did leave a bad taste but got to give him credit for being blunt honest about it. No gray area here

Very nice! I wish I had a fraction of the talent I saw displayed on the site. I especially liked the "Ice Battle". Good to have you with us

The BST forum is essential to this site. You just can't go down to the corner Ultimate Soldier store or Unimax Outlet and get this stuff. I don't consider ebay as a good option. The sharing of info and resources is the heart of SSHQ or any similar site in any hobby. This site has been a God send to ...

The guys in your Stuart look like they're trying to climb out and get away Looking at the two side by side, I don't think they would have stood a chance Very impresive and ominous looking

Depending on where you live, nature can provide all you need to make trees, bushes and other various landscaping with very little modification. Just takes some time to pick that just right shape and size.
