Small Scale Military Headquarters

I am still on the fence on the Hellcat (saw it once at TRU and was kind of disappointed by fit and finish), but I would still like to pick up a Zero at some point. Other than that, I have representatives of everything I want (at least that has been released so far).

And I thought I had finally gotten the monkey off my back, but there goes another $130 (this time, for a 1/18 P-51 for a custom project, a case of Humvees, and some 1/32 stuff for a friend). Keep it coming, MD!

I am definitely in it for the long haul - I love my 1/18 collection, and while I may have be a bit more selective due to space issues, I don't plan on getting rid of anything, and I look forward to future releases from AT, bbi, FOV, and whoever steps up to take 21st's place. Once the economy stabili...

Wonder what happened to the KT? We heard that the KT was ready, then we heard the KT was "on the water"........ so what happened to it. I can see a ship load of KT's ending up at "Tuesday Morning" or some such outlet. TTT Somehow, I doubt the KT ever made it on the water (and likely ever into the m...

I haven't seen anything 1/18 (no figures, nothing) and just a couple 1/32 playsets since just after Christmas at WMs within 100 miles of me. To Tman's point - we in the midwest may have been the first to get a lot of stuff, but we were apparently also the first to get cut off from the supply chain. ...

Sweeeet! Graf Starburst Bf-109Gs for $24.95 and Spits for $29.95! It looks like only about 9 of each, 8 now...




















Just messing with y'all. But it does seem to be loading ok on this end (unfortunately nothing new from 21st).

I am still trying to figure out where the problem lies... Very cool collection!

Isn't the one recovered from Lake Michigan hanging in Midway Airport in Chicago? I have walked under it a hundred times.

Just set up an account with Photobucket or Webshots or some other image hosting site. Upload your pics and then copy and paste the link for posting in a forum into your post here. I recommend using the preview function to test to make sure the linked image shows up properly before posting, at least ...

I don't think that level of detail has ever been announced about the plane. And I don't know if the plane displayed on the MTS website is the 100% finalized paint scheme, either...

What Andrew hasn't pointed out is that he lives in an abandoned aircraft factory manufacturing hanger that covers 5 football fields

So the fact that he is starting to worry about space is a truly disturbing development

What with the Citigroup/US government merger, maybe there will be some program to allow you to redeem your Citi Rewards miles for the real Yellow 7 or assorted other military "collectibles"...

Another one drawn in to the trap

1/18 is like the Hotel California - you can check in, but you can never leave

Photoshop can be relatively pricey (I think around $500-600 a license, last I checked on freestanding licenses instead of as part of Creative Suite). But it is fairly easy to learn the basics and the potential is almost limitless. A coworker and I did something similar to what you want to do using m...

Typically, you would want the widest angle setting you can get for the focus. The best thing is to try some experimenting - different cameras handle manual focus differently, depending on the camera lens, among other things. If your camera allows you to hook it up to the computer and view on screen ...

Wha..... digital camera and aferg in the same post? I am not sure I believe my eyes! flpickupman is right about the forced perspective idea. Also, a camera with manual focus options is ideal (I recently purchased a Canon A590 IS that allows a lot of flexibility), but many also have a macro mode that...

bump - one last try!

Not a particularly bad price if someone wants a die-cast model of the Chinese clone of the Humvee: http://cgi.ebay.com/1-18-China-Dongfeng-Mengshi-Armored-car_W0QQitemZ130256482288QQcmdZViewItemQQptZDiecast_Vehicles?hash=item130256482288 Of course, when I see stuff like this, all I can think is: god...

The die-cast Tiger I had two figures with it... And the die-cast Bradley had one, as I recall.

I received my Nightfighter last Thursday and opened it after work on Friday (it is currently hanging above my desk in my office). I had no real issues with mine - both canopies were good, no bent or broken parts. The only thing I notice is that the panel fit for the nose panel (directly in front of ...

Man, this monkey is harder to shake than when I quit smoking 5 years ago!
I had to grab the command car (never saw one the first time around), and since I just had a recent chance to hold the real thing (one of the two from the St. Valentine's Day Massacre), I had to order a 1/6 Thompson M1928 set.

I am sure they will make a few hundred thousand, so everyone should get their chance to a own a couple (or couple dozen).

I wonder if they'll let you trade in those IJ figures on them

Why would I give up 1/18? I have tons of stuff, more is on the way, and even if big manufacturers duck out of it, there are still many other people developing low production pieces. Just a question of patience!

looks like a wespe but from the figure near it, it looks pretty small. The only thing in the chap mei line up that has a chance of being useful is the AAV, i think. Need out of the box pictures of it. Of course i'll never be able to find it anyway, so i don't know why i even bother. :roll: I think ...

How many chambers are there in the catacombs of the Monkey Temple of Toys? I see they now have the M1025 and M151 up there, and the OTHER M16 halftrack paint scheme.

We might just see the old Jeeps and some Spitfires yet...
