I wonder how many people asked the two troopers on the front row "Aren't you a little short for a storm trooper??" :lol: The two short ones are actually females. You'd be surprised how many women take part in the hobby. Also, "armor" tends to bring out certain emotions in female onlookers. There is...

Six marines to an LCVP are luxurious accomodations. They were used to transport a platoon of 36, or 12 and a JEEP. :) :wink:

He's hardly "paid for" anything yet. Those were sold at $55 US. The current bid is at $42 and change. :wink:

It's a nice aircraft if you like german planes.

Having assembled quite a few of those stands, then putting planes on them, I can honestly say that they seem pretty practical. Here are some points I'd mention on them: 1. Perfectly cut and clean acrylic. 2. Well designed with drillouts simulating bulkheads. 3. Nice lines and angles, that lend thems...

BMC made a nice plastic one in 1/32.

I have all the plans done for one in 1/18, but can't say if I'll ever go through with it.

I should be in production on 1/6 Higgins' craft by end of this year, hopefully.

Looks like everybody had a good time attending. Wish I could have been there. ... WAIT! I WAS there. From set-up early Tuesday morning to tear-down Sunday night. Being the Stepan Fetchit of the booth, I guess I wasn't celebrity enough to be mentioned :lol: :lol: . My arm might be featured in a produ...

Most of you old-timers know me as the guy who speaks his mind, lays it all out, and doesn't mince words. I've had my run-ins with some of those banned from GP's, and had a more-than-passing-involvement in some of those bannings. I don't particularly care to share a board with troublemakers, thieves,...

Well, bud, I actually got into 1/6 pretty heavily. Still loving it. Still have the XD, and won't ever give up my 1/32, but I seemed to hit the proverbial wall in those hobbies when so many were mainly concerned with where they could get certain items or had nothing to do but complain. I think it was...
