Small Scale Military Headquarters

It's one of our resident craftsmen, Pizzaguy!

Yeah, haven't found a stormy on Amazon that ships outside of the States (or at least, I get stopped during the checkout process saying I can't proceed due to my geography). Plus prices range from $39 to $60! The best option at the moment is andrewstoyz.com at $39 with another $17+ for shipping. Very...

Hey guys. So here in NZ these black series 6 inch figures were a Farmers (NZ retail store) exclusive and i was a couple of weeks late to jump on them. Amazon prices are twice what the rrp is so i don't really want to go down that route. Not sure which retail stores in the States has them, but is any...

That was fun to read
There is a spelling mistake as the sergeant is telling Kowalski "Places like (this) can be dangerous"

i think Pickle had a good technique for removing the Stuka wings safely?

Wow, great work there.
You should feel pretty proud of that build. It really captures the simple cockpit / engine / frame construction of the real helicopter. Almost looks like a dragonfly insect.
I can easly picture that on a simple grass or dirt diorama base.

Yeap it worked, thanks guys. Now that the Stab is straight I've noticed the other side is slightly bent as well (in the opposite direction). I'll do the remaining side later on today. I'm guessing the plane was left sitting with it's tail up against something? I had two drink coasters, and used them...

Here she is. Also a photo of the bent rear Stabilizer. I'll give the hot water/ cold water technique a try :idea: http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t3/nadodesign/IMG_01321.jpg http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t3/nadodesign/IMG_01371.jpg http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t3/nadodesign/IMG_01341.j...

haha noted tko, yeah, the price is now $1000. Although seriously, the F-18 has been a plane missing from my collection for a long time. Pretty sure this one will be here for as long as I am

So a Bbi 1/18 F/A-18C Hornet (RAAF 2OCU Squadron No. 2 Operational Conversion Unit Australian Exclusive) came up on a New Zealand auction site (Which is a rare find just there). Won it for $200NZD (About $166USD) Couple of questions. How rare is it? As far as i know it's an Australian exclusive but ...

Sorry about the dead quiet. I recently had a change of jobs so the last two or three weeks have been a bit scary with trying to find that new job. Today was my first day so I should be back in the work groove within a week. What does this mean for No8 models? Don't expect anything for at least two w...

Sounds interesting Aracula. Are you working off a foam rc plane or are you scratchbuilding?

Bad cat has these up for preorder at $49.99 and a list price of $60.

Resin would be cheaper and yes, I have thought about using Shapeways to produce a mold that i could then reuse. The main difference is that to make something from a mold requires the mold to be taken apart after wards. So you have to think carefully about part lines, over hanging details etc. The ad...

I need education on this also! can you walk me (us) through the steps Jay. Say I want that welding tank or whatever part it is, what is the process to get it from an idea to a company like Shapeways making it? Sorry, but it's mostly up to you buddy! First you'll need to pick a programme that you li...

Sketchup 3d is free to download for home use. Also found these ones:

Plenty to play around with, but i would try Google's Sketchup first.

Got the F-16 today Matthew. OMG i LOVE it! I literally giggled as i unwrapped the fuselage. Thanks man!

I've temporarily put everything on the back burner, as my design work has picked up again. Everything is ready and waiting for me to get back to them though.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but a company called TAKOM are coming out with a 1/16 Renault FT17 Tank kit.

Hey Matthew. Has the F-16 been shipped yet?

PM sent

Ditto to what those guys said. I'm definitely keen to buy some more birds and maybe amour from you. I know it must be a pain to sell things, and then realize you have to box them up for shipping.

Just a thought. Who would be interested in fully built & painted kits?

i let pizza guy use my b/k bombs for study and he said it would be way expensive to make the gbu s maybe jay can 3 d them. i could send my set to him what say jay? Could be a go if there is demand. Maybe you could cover shipping sending them down, and i'll cover shipping sending them back up? Feel ...

http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t3/nadodesign/IMG_15731.jpg Updated photos (Sorry, my photo skills aren't the best. Rendering a CAD image is so much easier!). One other issue i have noticed is that the arm has actually slowly sunk down. The nose of he bomb is weighted so......need to beef this a...
