Small Scale Military Headquarters

I found this in the sold section of an Ebay seller. Anyone seen one before. While it is not 100% accurate it has possibilities. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Custom-US-WWII-M20-M8-Greyhound-Scout-Car-1-18-3-75-Ultimate-Soldier-XD-BBI-/153039470410?hash=item23a1dcff4a%3Ag%3Al0oAAOSwI4xa5nHU&nma=true&si=wV...

Looks very impressive. Very nicely detailed and painted. I don't build plane models but my Father did. Don't know if he built one of those or not.

I am definitely interested in a M10 TD. Also some extra parts off the M10.

I don't usually find anything at places like Goodwill and other charitable thrift shops. I happened to go into this one to kill some time. I was looking through the pile of broken toys for any diecast cars when I recognized the olive drab rear deck of a BBI M4A3 Sherman. I pulled it out and noticed ...

I can't speak for the dealers at those flea markets, but it has been my experience that most dealers aren't always collectors. They usually buy what doesn't sell at other outlets for resell. A lack of 21 st and other popular military figures and vehicles means that there are more people who own and ...

That's some cool stuff you are making. With 1/18 being so large, street scenes take up a lot of room. I have had an idea for a Paris street scene since my 1/35th model building days. But in 1/18 it wouldn't be portable.

I have stood next to the Tiger II at the old Patton museum. But watching one drive around would be amazing.

That is some great videos. I didn't know there was a running Tiger II. With all the coverage about the running Tiger I in Fury, I would have thought the Tiger II would have been brought up.

Is the Tiger II from the museum at Overloon?

Auto world is releasing two Jeeps. One is OD Army and the other is Blue grey for Navy. I don't know if this is a new mold or that they are using someone else's mold.

I found these at local Jo-Ann craft and fabric stores. They are cottage planters that are close to 1/18. They have no roof. You could leave them open topped for that bombed out look or build a roof for them. They are on sell for about $19.00 and only availability in store. Here is the Jo- Anne websi...

I bought one each to use the covered heads for SAS Jeep driver and passenger.

Hobby Lobby stores are having a model scale. The Monogram M4A1 Sherman with rockets is marked $6.50 or 6.99(I forget which). There are some car model on sale also. But no boats or plane models.

Dad never threw anything away. Every model box, decal sheet, instructions and left over parts have to be gone through.

It's worst then that. I am currently living in my parents home. I took early retirement and moved in to help my Dad after Mom passed away. Dad passed away last year. So I am moving my stuff and their stuff. Dad at one time or other built models of cars, trucks,planes, tanks and even some birds and c...

The retail version of Squadron has the fw 190 at $123.99 supposedly in stock.

I am having to move so I decided last month to photograph and invetory my military figures. The total includes duplicates. WWII 211 Vietnam and modern 35 I have some Indiana Jones figures and vehicles. Russians 11 Germans 16 Natives 6 I also have male and female civilians from Star Wars, GiJoe, movi...

Here are a couple of Star wars figures you might like: https://www.toysrus.com/product?productId=121914436 https://www.toysrus.com/product?productId=121914246 From Thunderbirds are GO Kayo Kyrano https://www.ebay.com/itm/Thunderbirds-Are-Go-Kayo-Kyrano-3-75-Figure-New-in-Package-/172883926151?hash=i...

They also dumped 3/4 tons and trucks into the ocean. In the boon "Commanding the the Red Armies Shermans" auther Dmitriy Loza tells of at the end of WWII, They witness the Allies dumping planes into the ocean. The decision was made not to turn in their beloved M4s to be dumped into the ocean.

I picked up a poster of WW2 tanks at Hobby Lobby yesterday for $12.99.

Here is the link from their website:

They also had planes and ships from WW2 and Military Jets posters at the store .

I came across this auction today on Ebay. I am posting the link for others to check it out. I think he did an excellent job on his Sherman. I do feel his asking price is pretty high though. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-18-M4-A3-76-mm-Sherman-Elite-Force-BBI-ultimate-bravo-21st-century-motorwork-/182676...

Very nice work. I actually felt a mosquito bite while looking at the photos. ;^)

That's pretty neat. Great job.

That looks interesting. I read a book back in the 80's about Hitler fleeing Berlin. It was called " The Berkut " Not great but not bad either.

I remember reading that Stalin was very paranoid about the subject of Hitler having escaped. IMHO, the Soviets would have found him if they really believed he had survived.
