Small Scale Military Headquarters

I couldn't get the first link to work, but had a good long read through the second link. He's mainly spouting common sense, but there are plenty of people who lack just that. I strongly disagree when he says " The Army being a blind obedience and stupid outfit might place you in a situation where yo...

when it comes in, will there be enough left over to shop off their site?

I missed the Nov order deadline and have the same question. When will I be able to buy a few things?

Paypal me 2 bucks for shipping, and I'll give you my two M113 figures.

Build-A-Rama's stuff is world class! Anyone who does not currently own some their product should order with confidence. I have several things they produce and they really look nice next to 21st stuff. I anxiously await the new medic pieces. I agree that those fluid bags look so real! I couldn't agr...

Razor17019--I PM'd you.

Everyone else--- The rest are taken.
Thanks,
Don

Having no trade offers, I am willing to sell these, for the price I paid, plus shipping.

I found some extra of the new BBI weapon/accessory packs. I have 3 of the MK-19 packs, and 3 of the Mortar packs. I am looking for: BBI USMC (old desert camo pattern) figures (there were 3 of them: Machine Gunner, Point Man, and I forgot the 3rd's name.) BBI Elite Force Army Assault Recon figure (ol...

Were the modern villians ever produced/released? When the hell are we going to see 21st, or BBI make some modern villans? I'm stuck with having my realistic modern force fight either Cobra villians, or invading aliens from star wars, either option kills the realism...

It's funny how much P51's last post reminded me of the Army; one persons actions screwing everyone...

dzirhan, In the future, a photo with your question might save some confusion. A bright orange refective triagle on a vehicle is used to signal slow-moving, or over-sized vehicles. A green or black V, or inverted V, was used during Operation Desert Storm to signify a coalition vehicle. (Seen in the p...

I just finished wrapping, and putting out presents for my wife, and little son. It has just turned Chistmas here, I'll finish up my eggnog, and head to bed soon, but having read some of your sentiments earlier I wanted to take a moment to respond. I appreciate being part this community that seems to...

I have used plastic styrene sheets for customs, and models in the past, but can never get it to bend without breaking. How was the main gunners shield bent like that?

Digger, you didn't make the custom 113 mentioned in this thread? Who did? I would love to see work-in-progress photos, and maybe some instruction on how it was done... Or maybe someone like Build-A-Rama could make an armor-upgrade kit? There are troops in the field without adequate protection. I wan...

I would love to see a Medium Tactical Vehicle, with a ring mounted crew served weapon (M-2, or MK-19). A stock photo: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v400/newwavedon/LMTV.gif Hopefully it could be tooled in such a way that the bed cover, and maybe cabin top could be removable...as in these SpecOps...

You guys have got to check this site out. There are some great photos of homemade american gun trucks being used in Iraq today, and even a how to build a guntruck section. Also worth looking through are photos of WW2, and Iraqi armor found in Iraq. Here is the link: http://client.webshots.com/user/i...

There are unproduced 1:18 from other companies you may want to add to your archive. These are from BBIs' website:

Your soldiers are hungry, and dying of thirst! I want to see: 5 gallon fuel cans, 5 gallon water cans, water bottles (clear cast), gatorade bottles (clear, but color-tinted cast), MRE cases, MRE individual meals, a can of pringles chips (other snack food ideas?), more sizes of ammo cans. I think the...

In a case where one trader is a newbie, and the other experienced (or at least has a feedback), I would think it appropriate that the newbie should send first, and also appropriate that that package arrives before the experianced trader ships. Trust is the perk of experience. In the case of two expe...

Posted the photo, and real world photos of this style humvee. Check this thread: viewtopic.php?t=450

I had a few photos of an SF style desert humvee that I thought might be of interest here. I plan to custom the BBI super to look like this real world humvee. The thing I'm really glad to see is the passenger side windshield weapon mount looks very authentic. I will likely drop the recoiless in order...

Does anyone know when this vehicle is going to be available? Will it be at TRU? Just one paint scheme?

I found a couple of these buggys on clearance at TRU. At half price they were only 7(ish) bucks. I figured 7 bucks isn't bad for a figure, a few loose weapons, including an M240, an M2, a couple AT4s. The real prize though were the spare tires I had been wanting.

Hey Ferg, I had the same light strike vehicle/MK-19 idea. This is only a work in progress photo, I still need to cast the ammo and fuel cans for it, as well as a few other details I have planned. I could not fit the ammo can for the MK-19 on the buggy without raising the mount to the point of stupid...

I have only seen these in the Salt Lake Valley, in Utah. Until today when I saw 3 of them at the Price Utah (a couple hours south east of Salt Lake) WalMart. And surprisingly they were marked down to 20 bucks!
And again, all three were desert painted.

I did break a peg pulling too hard on a BBI head once. Most come out easily, but if not don't break it. Use the old "boil and pop" method. Put the figure in boiling water for 2 or 3 minutes, the plastic will soften up and the head (or any other joint) will pop out much easier. Once out you can trim ...
