Small Scale Military Headquarters

Interesting. It certainly seems that the majority prefer little to no weathering. And of those that do prefer weathered pieces, it seems that the weathering can be minimal and still suffice. No one responded that they wanted damaged or abused pieces (are you listening FOV 1:32 Iraqi T-72 team?). Mys...

For the last few months I've been following the whole JSI Tomcat story. Personally, I stick to 1:32 only, so the entire debacle has very little bearing on me, but never-the-less, I've been watching. I think we can all agree that weathering has certainly been a hot topic lately, and would likely stic...

My mistake, I hadn't checked the website, I was only going off of what the poster had said. Perhaps that's his cost? I checked some of the UK dealer sites, and they seem to want 45 pounds per soldier. Either way, too much for me!

I just completed a deal with Ziegler2112, and things went just fine. Communication was great, and everything arrived well.

But $50?

But I am not a figure guy.

Actually, 45 pounds converts to about $75 at today's rate.

I'm also not a figure guy. $75 will buy tanks thanks.

Wow, you sure went through a lot of trouble making up huge post filled with pics for a guy who is not past his six month waiting period. I bet Aferg will be impressed.

In keeping with a modern era theme which you obviously favor, what would you say to a B-1 or a C-27J in 1/32? I know the C-27 isn't really a jet but it is currently in use by our Armed Forces so no collection would be complete without one. I'd not be opposed to a B-1, but it's four engined. The swi...

As someone who started out with model trains, and a lover of trains in general, these are especially cool in my book. I wish I had space for something similar, but that will have to wait. I'd love to do an outdoor layout, but that will require a different yard. I'm just lucky that I've got a woman w...

I will admit that sometimes I get a bit jealous of you 1:18 guys. The number of figures, and the fact that they come apart really allows you to do so much more. And of course the fact that 1:18 is a popular scale for a variety of subjects means that there is so much variety for you to pick from, the...

Twin engines? That's easy:

A-10
F-14
F-15
F/A-18
F-4
AH-1W (or Z)
Tornado
Mig 23/27
Mig-29
Su-27

I'm sure I could think of others, but that would sure be a good start.

Thanks for the tips. I think I'm going to end up doing somewhat of a combo of both. I'm looking for a cement type look for the final product, so I'm thinking of using a dullcote along with some fine dust/sand. I'll practice next week on some white foam core and see how I like it.

How well does the seat warmer work for you? I have two of the larger K9 models, and find them to be a little problematic. We use them primarily on our bed, where aside from taking up too much space, they seem to create hotspots while leaving other areas completely cold. Your's looks to be a better f...

...Yet. For a project I'm working on I found tiles that happen to be just about the right size for me to use. They are 13"x13" floor tiles in a brown color that should work just fine. The only thing wrong with them is, like most tile, they have somewhat of a semi-gloss finish. For my purposes dull a...

Thanks for the input. I wish I could find out more info about the actual tank, and more pics wouldn't hurt my feelings either. But it's cool, I'll just mark my tanks as I want to, and that's more with vehicles than with soldiers. I'm somewhat of the opinion that taking out a soldier with a tank isn'...

FOV doesn't want to hear from me. I want cold war and modern. The number of schemes, variants, and nationalities for some of these would seem to offer plenty of appeal worldwide. M113 Leopard Gepard ZSU-23 T-55\ T-62 >(and Chinese copies thereof) T-72/ Some pieces would seem to be great ideas based ...

T-man, do you still get down this way often? I might be able to take the LAV-25 and the bunker pieces off your hands for you.

PM sent!

By the way, how are planning on handling shipping?

I think perhaps you're onto something Grockwood. Some sort of small equipment. I had thought that maybe they were bomb silhouettes, denoting IED's. I suppose I can make just about anything, since I'm not trying to model Sinister Minister directly, but I wish I knew what they were nonetheless. Thanks...

Now with pics! This photo shows the applied decal kill marking, in this case, two T-72's http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v253/CanteenX/SSMHQ/Kill-markings.jpg This photo shows pretty much the same, but illustrates how at times the decal film itself can be visible. I need to work on that, starting ...

Anything not WWII!!! Sure it was a great war and all, but it's about time we give the last 60+ years of history a bit of attention. I've got my favorite WWII warbird just like anyone else, but let's face it, planes have come a long way since then. It's time to start acknowledging that the P-51 was n...

^^^ Police! Arrest this man! Unbelievable..... so bold he not only has a website, he even signs his name......... This guy has no fear at all of some official coming after him in his nefarious dealings..... what is he, a democrat? Did I miss something here? We're after T-man for offering advice on ...

Do the tracks move? That's always been an issue for me, tracks don't move, I don't buy.

I'm a 1:32 guy, I've done quite well sticking to one scale, but with 1:32 modern seemingly done, I might have to reconsider.

And his wife says he's insane: I have been married for nearly 20 years to my husband Jerry, and even though he is certifiably insane(no, really, HE IS!)he's a pretty great guy. And to his defense, he tells me that on 'HIS PLANET' he is 'perfectly normal'...hmmm, I still have my doubts Man... This st...

And even though it still feels like it was just yesterday,...
