Re: Aracula's 1/18 Stug IV Review and Finish Project (Finish

I haven't seen a Stug IV since the woofer custom hey days. Now to shipp a panzer IV i always use poly-fil(stuffing similar to what is used to ...

Re: Forces of Valor King Tiger 1/16

Sorry to show my ignorance but you guys have said the tracks are metal. Is the entire track made of metal (ie metal actually contacting the ground) or is there plastic/rubber for the cleats of the tread? The king tiger was the first in the series. The tracks are heavy but they don't feel as cold as...

Re: How about showing your collection

I am with you on that brother. Every time I get a new piece I have to move things around, take things down it's a vicious cycle. I dream of having a larger room to display everything I have (maybe in the future after retirement). I started by collecting naval ships and 1/72 scale planes back when m...

Re: Forces of Valor King Tiger 1/16

I have the 1/16 king tiger forces of valor and the tank is not full metal. The only metal parts are the turret with gun barrel,tow ropes,the tracks(not the wheels) and half of the projectiles.I would said that 75% of the tank is plastic. It weights 14 pounds not 50 pounds like some sellers on ebay a...

Re: What do you guys think about my customs videos?

I like the recent video you made of Hitler angry at repaints. :lol: I have look for videos on you tube of 1/18 ultimate soldier collections and in the last 4 years it shows just one where the camera rotates showing s few vehicles. I wish there was more videos of collections and custom dioramas in 1/18

Matthew i hope you get well,sorry to hear about the accident. I know that your best seller kits are modern war but so far those have not been full build. The only bad about making the Russian model tank is that there are not russian figures in that scale.I am not sure if most of your costumers colle...

I know that for making figures making the molds are the most expensive part. So to get the most out of the molds repaints can be done using the same molds.

I hope when they do the Russian set they can include a Russian tank crew man and Russian winter troops. There are plenty of Indiana Jones Russian lots on ebay like $2 a piece if you order a big lot of them,so i think the Russians may not sell as fast as the German set so my suggestion for our war is...
