glue

Does anyone use "amazing goop" or "crafters goop"?? You can get it at many hardware or craft stores, I use it on all my XD custom's. One of the greatest features is that it never gets totally hard. you can remove stuff easy and re-glue or rebuild. tom http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BQPIOQ/103-...

My custom troops have a varity of gear,, my custom Vietnam troops have as close as I ...

yea, these are nice. What is with these coming out with no figures?? also the Dodge trucks, no driver :( How is the price, does it reflect no driver?

toy show

I do not think these could be out in stores,, My guess is this seller had access to some future toy show releases or exclusives..

If anyone knows different please post.

build

I cut up 3 C21 Farm houses and use them like building blocks..

Then I stacked them or just used them as a backround for a picture.

I also have a Hayloft set and a ruined corner set.

Everything I have is for play first, display second.

Typically commanded by a sergeant or staff sergeant, a squad or section is the smallest element in Army structure, and its size is dependent on its function. PLATOON – 16 to 44 soldiers.
