Small Scale Military Headquarters

I gather the reason for doing this is so people can rid themselves of worthless extras and get a new vehicle for free? That's pretty cheap and very lame.

I threw up in my mouth a little.

Sweet!!! I am all over these!!! I now found sources for just about everything you need to wargame in 1/144 including AT guns, MG's, bazookas, etc. This scale is perfect! -Ski You know, I haven't table-top gamed in so long I basically forgot about how these vehicles would be perfect for it.

Subtle sarcasm isn't very effective on teh intarweb.

Another miracle of the ebay world.

Oh no, he's saying all four at that store were broken, but apparently they were all the same version.


As far as the mid-wing holes, I don't think there are any guns there - at least my White 7 didn't have any.

I didn't have a problem removing the pieces from the sprue. I used an X-acto blade like I used to with my regular model kits.

Trying to remove them by hand will wreck them for sure - those thin parts love bending.

Sorry mikeg -

I bought the last two full sets HobbyTown Kennesaw had in stock. $6 each.

The droopy gear on my 190 is held in place by a thin strip of Scotch tape.

And I hope you guys get your Marders and Hetzers as well.

PM sent as well.

Place the white first, then lay the black over it so that the white creates a thin border around the black swastika.

Make sense?

Went into Atlanta today to have work done on my car and decided to check out the TRU/WM/Hobbytown action. Nothing new per se - lots of the new Marder and the 38 but no new planes. Ended up getting some stuff I didn't have - the grey Opel Blitz kit for $6.50, an FOV Schwimmwagen for $10, the Jagdtige...

The great thing about you guys posting the megacollections is that I can use the pics to prove to my wife I'm really not that insane.

Finally was convinced to get a MiG-15 today. Suppose the $11 sticker had something to do with it as I usually stay with 1/32 models, but I already had the F-86 so now the set is complete.

There had best be 1/32 versions coming...

And what might that new scheme look like?

Yeah, except the oil is in the rear of a VW.

Hey, the lengths we sometimes go to to find one of these precious items are hardly what I would call irrational.

But I will admit bias in that regard.

Dude, they have like three of them left.

I'm telling you this assuming you haven't already jumped in your car and hit the interstate.

Finally got the second Marder (at the TRU in Douglasville, GA, for those of you keeping score) but all the WM's near me have 38's.

Unfortunately they are stickered correctly.

My tiny room, and all it contains: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v510/brekinapez/101_8230.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v510/brekinapez/101_8231.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v510/brekinapez/101_8232.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v510/brekinapez/101_8233.jpg http://img.ph...

Yeah, I'm not getting in that car until they box the 'nades, either.

For those near the Atlanta area:

The Hiram and Dallas WM's have 6 and 3 38T's, respectively. They both have a handful of the new 1/48 planes, but everything else is old news.

BTW, those two stores are less than 5 miles apart.

Any idea when this sale will end?
