Small Scale Military Headquarters

I got one, haven't assembled it yet. May be a while before I do. The shark mouth markings are stickers, by the way, so can be removed.

I wonder how hard it would be to paint the Chinese tank a desert tan. Has anyone tried this?

Now that you mention it, the beast does look kind of passive. I think I'll sit on this one for a while, and decide how much I really want it. If I can see it in-person at TRU that would help too.

it's interesting because if the Black Hawk had never been released and just came out now, people would probably be diving on it (as they would for a Hind, as an example), even at this steep price. As it is it will most likely sell slowly but steadily....don't underestimate the sexiness of the windo...

Looks great!

Wow, TBF toys is out of stock on all of these, and TRU online doesn't seem to carry the elephant attachment.

Aferguson, did you happen to notice if TRU had the elephant attachment in the store?

Available at TRU online now also -

I have both of pizzaguy's F-14 stands ard they are great.

Here's a little background on white elephants -

Looks like the Romans used war elephants, too (from Wikipedia) - Rome brought back many elephants at the end of the Punic Wars, and used them in its campaigns for many years afterwards. The conquest of Greece saw many battles in which the Romans deployed war elephants, including the invasion of Mace...

Looks great!

Nice!

Checked the BL near ny workplace yesterday. Same as the store I checked last weekend, except no SWAT items at all. Guess I'll check both again in a month or so.

I want one. Maybe two....

Despite the obvious scale issue and toyishness, it's tempting in a way. Looks like the greenhouse lacks glass, howver, which is hard to correct,

Probably should have put this in the Off Topic section. Sorry, Andrew!

Hadn't realized they were used there. I wonder if it would be distorting reality too much to use 21C Quad .50 trailer with my other 21C Vietnam pieces. I like to add anything I can get away with. Does TTT or anyone else have a take on this?

Checked the store clostest to my house today, and was pleased to see that thet had some items in stock. I saw the little bird type helicopter, attack buggy, oversized ATV, FAV, Chinese tanks, a few assorted sets of figures and accessories (but not the checkpoint set with the dog that I want), horse ...

One I recently got was $22 for the Tiger and awhile ago I got the woodland Bradley for $12

Those were nice deals!

Was near the best Big Lots in my area yesterday, so stopped in to check out the toys. No sign of any PTE at all. Nothing! Very depressing.

Aferguson, the answer is contained in your own words - "it is nearly impossible to evict a hoarder, so if they don't cooperate there isn't much that can be done about it. Hoarders are considered to be mentally disturbed and as such are one of the protected groups of people." Keep storing XD on your ...

It'll never be what it was. That strange, happy (for most of us) confluence of Walmart and 21C is not be seen again. Hopefully an occassional release from FOV and JSI will keep us alive. I think I'm done with repaints, though.

Here's hoping for something new by Christmas!

You know, I've wanted one of these since reading dragon 53's post on June 15. But even then it felt to me like something wasn't right, so I didn't place a preorder with Foxhole or BadCat (which turned out to be just as well). Now, as a certified 1/18 maniac, I'd normally jump right on the ebay sales...
