Re: Pro modeler 1/32 He-111

Canopy masks aren't cheating, they're working smart. I would have used them too but even the mask looked too intimidating!

Re: Pro modeler 1/32 He-111

Fantastic! I had one of those kits but sold it. I was intimidated by the amount of canopy framing that was going to have to be painted inside and out. I'm at a point where I no longer have the patience or skills to do major canopy frames. I like the big scale but the amount of detail needed to creat...

Re: Conversion kit for 1/18 P51B

I have only seen one. It was many years ago and it was in the possession of Isaiah at the Military Toy Shop in Dayton, OH. If it's still in his possession it would likely not be easy to acquire. And, it's just a fuselage part and doesn't cover changes to the wing or any of the more subtle differences.

Re: More 1/18 Figure Questions

My head is spinning going through these figures. Sorted out the extra body parts German or U.S. (I think) Also came across a Hobbit sized tank figure that's got me puzzled. Did they just make some smaller to fit in the turrets? The guy on right is normal sized with foot soldiers. https://i.imgur.com...

Re: Schleich Knights No More?

The rock formations that make up part of the castle wall are decent sculpts but the monotone color wasn't realistic for rocks so I used multiple colors to give it different tones like real rocks normally have. I'm having fun with this stuff.

Re: Do we really want new WWII figures?

I don't know if people have seen the pricing for the WWII figures but I hope it's not $25 per. I just ordered the new JoyToy Delta Force set and each guy came in under $20. Not cheap but just a few bucks more than some pretty simplistic mass-market figures out now (I'm looking at you TVC). It was a...

Some years back when I was going to do a scene with my Schleich knights and a castle I was building, I bought several of these skeleton figures to make a skeleton warrior attack like the famous scenes in "Jason and the Argonauts".

Re: Do we really want new WWII figures?

Get 'em now. Prices are only gonna go up if dealers buy them in mass quantities only to try and make a resale killing after they're allegedly hard to find. We're seeing it now, whether the "rare" descriptions are real or hype. Even the old stuff on eBay is stupid high.

Agreed, new stuff is always welcomed but a 4" figure for $25? That's over $6 per inch of plastic. Assembling even a squad will be expensive!

A may need an intervention.... Just picked up two more BBi Legends warriors. They are superior in every way to all the Schleich and Papo offerings.

Hang in there Danny! Forget the History degree idea as a major. That's fine for a side minor. Jobs related to it aren't going to be there in a sick society that wants to erase history and embrace their own decadent culture.

Re: Schleich Knights No More?

One other point about these fine Schleich and later Papo or BBi figures, don't let the name "Schleich of Germany" fool you. Like the Papo, BBi or any of our other beloved figures and vehicles, they're made in China.
