Re: 1/18 German Leader's car Mercedes G4
$94.95, not bad after seeing other stuff for way more and way smaller.

Re: How big should 1/18 scale aircraft get?
I went the RC route for the B17 and B25. They are very close in scale. The B17 took up the corner off my ceiling. Great to have but difficult to display the way it should be. I agree about the unmade and unpainted possibility. Cheaper to put out and you can make whatever version you want.

Re: Personal project - Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet
Thats pretty cool looking, how long does that take to print? Is the Sturmgeschütz 3D printed?? It took a couple days mostly since the wings were vertical. The Sturmgeschütz is printed too. The fuselage had some failed prints too at first. So many options are printable. I am on hold for a resin prin...

It is a nice store but very confining with 2 levels. More of a showroom. That was the only time I went.

Re: New 1/18 Jeep
Too bad this is the only 1/18 product they will carry even in the physical store. No current plans to do anymore at the moment either. Maybe if it sells well. They were not too interested when I went there.

Re: Do we really want new WWII figures?
It is good since it can create new buzz in the scale and the 1/18 lines. Many new 1/18 lines have become stable over these last years. It can provide needed supplement to stagnant armies missing enough to complete them. The price is not all that bad compared to buying 2st Century online nowadays. An...

When not being used in a diorama, they are displayed. Some rotated out by franchise. Never really kept anything in the box but I kept the boxes for most.

Basically it seems to be this. Some comments point out swapped parts (like the head) and that seems to be the case.

Re: Die Glocke Personal Project
PLA is a good starter filament. I am happy with it for my needs. For particular uses different types may be needed. They all have pro/cons. Just keep it level and you should be fine. Some prints may need to be printed in sections or certain placements. The Bell is broken up into 3 sections due to it...

Hit a snag. Only ABS available in stores by me so I tried it and my bed is malfunctioning aka not heating. Tried a good layer for it to stick to but no good. More PLA is being ordered online.

Re: Prototype 21st Century Toys 1:18 German...Legit?
Agreed. I got a bunch of that remade stuff cheap a few years ago. All they did was swap the head sculpt from another figure in the series and offered it in lots of 5 for $15 I think. Reproduced prototype versions would be so easy over there. You would have to basically have to buy it to make sure an...

Maybe it existed, maybe it didn't, maybe it did but the facts are wrong. It is an interesting project to try. I was hoping for some input if anyone knows the best way to proceed it.
