Small Scale Military Headquarters

For those of us wondering if we'll ever see new mass-produced 1/18 product (I guess that's all of us :) ), this non-committal reply to a brief Q&A back in May may offer a feeble spark of hope to the faithful... (From Merit's facebook site) Guy asks: Will there ever be any new 1/18 aircraft? Or is th...

For those of us in need of a fix of news from FOV (and who isn't?), their facebook and corporate sites have some updates on the coming Sturmtiger and Tiger releases, including a production schedule (probably originating from the planet called Yeah, Right)... They once again state their credo "...bec...

Take with a grain of salt, but the site below indicates other sellers (all of them also overseas) asking a higher price than that... I'll be pleasantly surprised if they're generally running below $60... https://www.diecastmates.com/kits/hobbyboss-81806-uh-1-huey-b--1296053# (see bottom of page, won...

It seems interest here in plastic figures is waning, but even non-devotees should appreciate the newest future offerings from Plastic Platoon: exquisitely detailed Red and German Infantry, more German Paratroops, Soviet Naval Infantry, and, get this, Viet-Era armed "girlfriends" (I guess the sculpto...

FOV has announced some up and coming releases of 1/72 aircraft, including some curious paint schemes for their Mustangs... https://forcesofvalor.com/products.php?cid1=4&cid2=2&sid=4 Good to see them re-starting this scale... And don't want to be a buzzkill, but I wonder if the meddlesome Chinese gov...

Sounds promising...hope it shows up on time!

I like what you did with the propeller...cool!

Really nice, Normandy!

FInally released...

Well, if they wait too much longer, my next of kin can place them by my headstone...

FOV's facebook page has some pix of it's showings at the Hong Kong Toy Fair, though mostly a tease----some not-close-ups of the new Shermans, German armor, and 1/72 aircraft and armor... more updates are promised soon, but we've heard that before... :) Also buried in the comments section are mention...

American Diorama has released four MP figures as a follow-up to their drivers and infantryman...I came across these quite a few weeks ago but I keep changing my mind whether I want them or not...the sculpting of the weapons is the weakest aspect...the Thompson gunner seems to be the best of the lot ...

...and where did they go? Anyone notice about a month ago a whole lot of vendors (almost exclusively from China) selling Marders with the Hildegard markings but often listed as brand names other than 21CT (like Magideal and MonkeyJack)? These were going at incredibly cheap prices (some under $14) an...

FOV's facebook page also has what I assume to be the same pix https://www.facebook.com/fovhobbies/ along with some news about the Jag and some general news about where FOV is going (Of course, if you don't have an account with Facebook you'll be savaged by constant pop-ups asking you to join---I kno...

http://warpark.com/ Just saw an e-bay listing for a pre-order of their Pz.Kpfw.IV I haven't heard of them before, they have some nice stuff that looks superior to K&C. The figures go for a reasonable amount, but the tanks are pretty steeply priced, I don't see myself building up a complete collectio...

Just when you think you've seen them all... :) These seem on the level, this time from a domestic dealer... https://www.ebay.com/itm/21ST-CENTURY-TOYS-1-18-XD-RESIN-PROTOTYPE-FIGURE-US-WWII-PARA-101-ABN-M1/274006645651?hash=item3fcc119b93:g:s5AAAOSwiMtc0rAK https://www.ebay.com/itm/21ST-CENTURY-TOYS...

A whole bunch of alleged BBI protoypes have suddenly turned up...go to ebay and search Elite Force 1 18 prototypes and over ten listings pop up, some reasonably priced, some not so much...how they arrived on the scene is one of Life's Little Mysteries... examples--- https://www.ebay.com/itm/BBI-ELIT...

I remember seeing this figure offered by various Chinese dealers over the years (with the right 21ct Toys flesh tones and colored uniforms etc.) but always doubted their authenticity---the head is too big for the body and it just seems a little off...this "prototype" looks even more dubious... or am...

Lightning7000, thanks for shedding further light on their master plan, I hope it does good things for their bottom line...but... I hope their G&P line doesn't take resources away from FOV production...did anybody catch FOV's rant about a dealer who (among other transgressions) claimed FOV releases a...

Thanks for clearing that mystery up, Cpl Slade...I guess I don't get out enough, hadn't heard of Girls Und Panzers...maybe I was better off that way! :) ...and it does almost sound like a naughty video franchise... :? Did FOV upload that video for comic relief, or do they have a branded G&P tank com...

FOV's Facebook page has some new pics (and a short teaser video) of the Firefly worth checking out, it looks good! Just hope they get on the shelves before the trade war escalates...! And the MotorPool blog has some interesting news on future FOV releases (including a puzzling item about FOV doing s...

Darn, that's peculiar! I know there were 1/6 R Lee Ermey talking figures, I wonder if someone did some Frankenstein-style surgery to come up with that figure...

But given the guy's nationality, shouldn't we hear a Sgt Schultz voice saying "I see nothing...!"

I'm hoping this is not a misunderstanding: buried in the comments section (about the 1/32 Flak Gun release) on the Forces of Valor FaceBook page is this cryptic exchange: (reader asks): no more 1/18 scale product ? FOV: There will be in the 2020 schedule, if I recall correct, there is a 1/18 aircraf...

Re: Gate, Solido, etc. The cool but maybe overpriced AutoArt is probably the best 1:18 jeep out there... https://www.diecast.org/diecast98/html/asp/list_reviews/reviewpix.asp?id=AA74006 also available with a trailer and accessories... https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=7&v=zEe_Y3MYYso I'll ...

I notice in the seller's history that he has accepted quite a few best offers...
If I didn't have things like mortgage and utility payments I might cast a line...
