G41

After playing a copious amount of Red Orchestra 2, I wanted to eqiup my 1:18 soldiers with G41s. So, using a Kar98K and styrene, I whipped this up. http://i1311.photobucket.com/albums/s675/michael_hess2/DSC00174_zpslmlwjlgd.jpg http://i1311.photobucket.com/albums/s675/michael_hess2/DSC00176_zpsub8nc...

Re: What is most the Wanted 1/18th Scale Armor project ?

To complement what I already have, I would have to agree with normandy and go with the Stug. Being realistic though, it will probably be a bit out of my price range. I still hope to one day work up the hobby budget to get a Pickle T-34/85. Right now, what I would actually go for over a plane or armo...

Re: B17's Dioramas

I totally agree with you Tman. That's also the reason I never got into 1:18 aircraft: it is too darn hard to create a diorama with them in the lack of space I have!

Re: B17's Dioramas

Seeing these pictures online makes certain colours pop a lot more than they do in person. The rust on the Tiger and the base colour of the Leopard appear much brighter in photo. I'm colourblind, so let me know if anything else looks off! I'll never forget when I began painting figures. I was so prou...

Re: B17's Dioramas

I figure it is time for an update. Excluding my 1:18 displays, I have not made any dioramas since my "Who's There?" dio, but I have kept myself busy with some little customization projects.

If anyone else is looking for Avenger parts, I have a Bunker Hill (both wing-hinges broken) and I'll break it down into parts for anyone who wants.

Re: 1/16 tanks

How are the Trumpeter and Hobby Boss 1/16 tanks in terms of quality? I found a few T-34s on ebay for a good price, and now that I know how to build a kit well, I'd be up to giving them a try.

If anyone has built one, let me know!

1945A - WWII Sci Fi Film - with 1/6

I found this very cool video on youtube that uses 1/6 vehicles and figures seamlessly with live actors. Not to mention, there is one fine example of scratchbuilding I think Pickle would be proud of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPnINKwWUiY

Re: Another small dio King Tiger

Looks great!

If anything, I would recommend that the tank commander, or at least the main gun, be looking/pointed in the same direction as the disembarking figures, unifying the two groups and tying together the story of the diorama.

WTB 1:18 Figures

Hey everyone, I'm looking to fill a few holes in my 1:18 collection, primarily Germans from the Normandy series. I know some of these are on eBay, but I would prefer to stay within this community before turning to that unwelcoming market. German: Cpl. Dietrich Hoffman http://www.sshqdb.com/18/albums...

WC51 chassis photos?

I was at my hobby shop today when I saw a familiar green box peeking out from behind a heap of the discount bin, and inside was a 1:18 WC51 for $9 :P . The catch: everything besides the main body was broken, looking as if it had been run over by a real tank. From what I can tell, all the parts are p...
