Re: PTE WIP Group Pic

Good post, cool stuff. I have done the same. As part of a big group I'm working on, I'm using pte figs for green shirts, so I've been making a lot of Russian troops from Pte. After a while I have actually found myself looking for pet figs for customising. They are great for customising actually, and...

Re: WARNING: BROKEN ARROW TOYS

Hi, Tanks for the responses. I've been replying to the email address they emailed me from prior to me ordering. I forwarded the mails to the new email address. I have to say I'm not optimistic....a company that sends out no emails or product so long after an order (my email address has not changed!)...

WARNING: BROKEN ARROW TOYS

I just wanted to post a heads up about broken arrow toys. I ordered in stock items October 24th, an order of just under 90 dollars worth. I have not received anything or any mails, at all. I have been emailing them to ask when I can expect something, and get no reply. I have emailed several times, i...

i would also add that when you compare the sheets, dont just look at sturdiness as there are other ways to reinforce them, like struts, several layers, etc...becasue you also have to think about how much harder it is (for me anyway) to cute precise and smooth ends on the thick styrene. i guess this ...

i should mention that the retailer i got them from said theyve been selling pte for 18 months now, but that these items are new now and this is the first shipment of them. so i guess theyre just taking a while to reach europe and then the us. the t72/120 can also be done with this tank of course. th...

where to start... the su 27 the su 27 is all it promised to be...it has presence, 12 hardpoints for missiles and a good range of large and fairly accurate missiles. the cockpit is roomy enough for the figure and has a joystick. the landing gear retracts into wells that close, which is very cool. wit...

yeah, its the zsl 92 :

http://www.sinodefence.com/army/armour/zsl92.asp

it would have been cooler with an opening rear hatch, but i dont really mind too much, its a little different to have the roof hatches open. i might customise one with the rear door opening, but im not sure about that yet.
