Small Scale Military Headquarters

Found some of the single carded figures at a TRU in Utah today. Will the 3 packs be in stores as well?

And while we are talking about helmets. I keep hoping that BBI will make an accessory pack like thier weapons packs but that includes only helmets, boonie hats and maybe berets. Maybe even something new like a patrol cap or a baseball cap or a sculpted cloth wrap similar to the one from the Sahara m...

Thanks for the tip! I have been waiting for these to come out! Just placed an order.

How did you do the gun shields? Is that just sheet styrene? If so how did you get it to bend like that? I would love to see some making of type pictures. I know build-a-rama is mostly about casts and cloth, accessories that could be used on a variety of vehicles or dioramas, often in a variety of ti...

Personally, I glue everything, but usually I pull everything off the figure first to see what can be cast and used to outfit other figures. I'm a big fan of the modern BBI figures because all the little chest rig pouches and stuff were separate molds and glued on during production. That makes it eas...

Well bad news guys, Palisades has gone out of business. Another company has bought some of their licenses and may continue with them so there's still a chance... not holding my breath though. Where do you get your info? I was really looking forward to those Terminator figures and Aliens and Predato...

What does it say about a guy, in uniform, deployed to a combat zone, who still plays with army toys? This forum isn't my first stop when I get to the office; email is always first and last since it's the best way to keep in touch with home. But I too look forward to reading the latest news and gossi...

If anyone sees these available online could you post it, or even better, email me directly. I'm in Iraq and really don't want to miss these.
I didn't see them on ebay, but if anyone sees them there I would consider it so let me know.
Thanks

I'm off to see it in a few minutes. Alot of my friends and family are coming as it will be my last movie before deployment. I'm really looking forward to it.

It's already been said, but I would definately buy acurate modern desert style regular army type figures. I would also love to have some bad guys for them to fight. I still love the spec-ops guys so more of that with some CIA/civilian contactor type guys in mixed uniform and civilain clothes. What e...

What did you think of the two guys on guard getting in a fight and they're going to punch each other out? While on guard duty? Yeah, good point. I have never seen anything like that, and the one dude even pulled a knife? I still think the show is a good idea and has potential, but they really could...

75th, did you read Jarhead? I read it two years ago, while at mobilization station preparing to go into Iraq. Actually it was passed around while there, most of my buddies read it too. Swofford, while interseting and funny at times, does seem like he's telling war stories the way my grandpa used to ...

I thought the story at the roadblock was great. I like the introduction of an arab american soldier, but it still seems a little like a Vietnam movie with a replacement showing up quickly from somewhere and no one knows him. Units are deploying as units, training together for months before going ove...

Overall I liked it, yes there were flaws, but it has potential. I'll watch the next two episodes for sure, after that I will be heading over there, so I won't be able to watch Over There . I can look past the appearance of a Huey, though blatantly out of place. One technical detail I would like to m...

"Ghost Soldiers" by Hampton Sides is one of the best war books I have ever read! I would put it right along side "Black Hawk Down", "Band of Brothers", "The Killer Angels", or "We Were Soldiers Once and Young". A must read for anyone interested in military history (or really anyone). I saw the previ...

So who wants to hook a brother up? Anyone have the skills to Tivo Over There, burn it to DVD and literally mail it over there?
As I said in this thread, I am on my way back to Iraq and it look like I'll miss at least the first season. Too bad, I was really looking forward to that show.

Steven Bochco is the writer/creator of "Hill Street Blues", "L.A. Law", and "NYPD Blue". He will be the executive producer of FX's new show "Over There". I expect he will have some involvment in writing as well. For that reason I am very , excited about this show. Here is some information: The FX si...

Sweet! Those fuel cans look great, on the top of my 'I wish build-a-rama would make' list. Now how about some modern food; MRE's (cases and meal bags) and some bottled water.

The plywood is filled with sandbags, the sandbags can be seen in the second and third photos. I have pointed them out with red arrows here: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v400/ ... 4c6162.jpg

There are other cool photos at this site (armor and aircraft, I havn't had time to look through them all), but anyone interested in the '113 should really look at this armor-supplement being used in Iraq: http://www.primeportal.net/apc/sanders/m113_oif.htm (click the individual photos for larger ver...

Ferg, The orange reflective is makeshift friendly recognition. I have never seen a recoilless mounted in the back like the BBI humvee and did not see any mounted anywhere on a humvee in Iraq. In fact I have yet to see one being used in a photo from Iraq. (I would love to see one if someone wants to ...

Im not sure about the 21st humvee but see this thread for the BBI armored humvee fit:
viewtopic.php?t=890

I mentioned in the Kiowa thread that the new BBI super humvee ring mount will also fit the ring hole in the BBI armored humvee. Here is something I hadn't tested though. The mounting fork for the M2 on the super humvee ring mount is perfectly scaled to fit the BBI MK-19! The fork has 4 pegs, or teet...

I found 3 each of the super humvee and the kiowa at the sugerhouse Utah TRU this afternoon!
They are both 20 bucks and both a bargan! And in case anyone is interested, the ring mount from the super does fit the ring mount hole in the bbi armored humvee...

Looks like there's one on the way here. Click on the 4th image space from the left. The pictures aren't loading on the main page but the link still works if you click on the broken image icon. http://www.urbanrevtoys.com/ I remember seeing that site 6 or 8 months ago, but I still don't see a way to...
