Small Scale Military Headquarters

Was there ever a release of the P-38 in 1:32 scale that was not a model kit?

Great work.I think we all can appreciate the time you must have spent on this.Can't wait to see the others.

Still waiting for a Higgins Boat.It wouldn't be a box much bigger than any 1:18 aircraft or the hanomags,so I can't see the price being over $30.BRING IT ON!!

Long time ago 21st released a NVA 1/18 figure. have you tried that one?

I am assuming you mean these?

Those figs are hard to find these days.Nobody wants to part with them since they were the only decent NVA figs put out.

I noticed the same thing at 2 of my local WM's.All the 1:18 jets and planes were pushed to an end cap near the lawn and garden supplies.They were set up to face the back wall (can't imagine why they won't sell) The Mustangs were on clearance..marked down to $37 from the original price of $39

That's a beauty RED.

I was able to find some of the 1:18 WWII figures that this company put out.They are listed as 4" figures so I wasn't sure how they would match up to the 1:18 figs that I have.I ordered them online (since the price was decent)without actually seeing them,and I'm very impressed.They are a perfect size...

Lindberg models had a 1:32 D-Day model kit that included a crew and soldiers.I would love to see something like that in 1:18.Maybe a driver and some gear..or some beach obstacles.

2 Wallys in my area have put 21C on clearance.All figs are $4... 1 Sabre left for $25..all 1:32 planes left are $11.

Same here..the pegs are out with prices already set...can't wait.

Beautiful..Can't wait for the dios to start coming in.

The headsculpt of the BBI Ranger is one of my least favorites among the BBI WWII figs

Agreed.I thought the beard would help take away that dopey smirk they gave this fig.I also tried a light wash on his left hand which you can see in the bottom pic.

Looks to me like a fast way to an instant collection....just add water!

Just add water and $500.

The color pics really bring this dio to life.I hate to say it,but I really like the Germans to win this one.Great job.

Hey guys.Just hoping to get some feedback here.I decided to do a little custom work on a 1:18 BBI fig. I did several washes over the original hair to darken it up,and used a #2 brush to try to get the look of the beard correct. I used to paint a lot of 1:32 figures and just started getting into 1:18...

I love the new releases.My only complaint is with the Otto Wilndorff figure.He actually has his mouth open,but they just wiped flesh colors over it so you can hardly tell.The hardened "snarl" that the S1 figure had really added character.Guess it's time to break out the brushes.

Called my local TRU to see if they were carrying anything yet.The guy on the phone said "NO,we don't have any a 21st Century, all we have are these XD planes and figures(heehee).TRU's in Wisconsin are stocking 21C.Making a trip tonight to see what they have.Might be some good news to other midwest s...

Can we get a topic about the lack of Nam figs too...gheez

Bought some figures from holensock and they were here in a flash.A great communicator as well.Thanks a bunch.

I'd love to see some Russian figs and armor.

Really nice collection tkjaer.Looks like its set up in your garage.Some very nice displays at that link you posted also.Thanks.

Parking the Sherman on an Abrams is OK...it's when I park it on my troops that I really run into trouble.

I have always been more of an infantry and ground vehicle nut.I have a ton of respect and love for the war in the sky,but never had much desire to collect or paint them.I was just wondering what you guys do with the stuff you collect.Do you keep the planes mostly boxed,or do you display them.I had a...

Great to hear.I wish I had more time to investigate this stuff.The local morning radio station crew in my area refers to their listening audience as the THROBBING BRAIN.It means that they are standing by ready to answer any question when called upon.You guys are my throbbing brain,and that is why I ...

Were any of the 1:18 german figures released with an MG42 or MG34? Such a vital part of the German arsenal,but I can't seem to find any in 1:18.
