I tried using the websense url reclass submission form but they didnt change it. I think it would be worthwhile as 22 million users is a lot of potential customers to have blocked out from your site.

Hi BadCat I spend 80% of my day at work. Like other large corporations, we use a Web Content filter to restrict the websites that employees can visit. In our case we use websense.com. Unfortunately websense categorizes badcattoys.com as WEAPONS and so I am blocked from visiting your site from work. ...

LaughingGravy found some GREAT metal somethingorothers at the metal scrap store. Ill have to get down there and get some pictures. The other idea was to cut some pegboard into strips and paint.

Finished trades with RAZOR and HWORTH. Both were EXTREMELY helpful and packages arrived timely with good communication.

Thanks !

Those are fabulous - do you have a tutorial perhaps ?

beltxfed - I sent you a PM.

Thanks

Im still looking for Japanese - can also trade BBI corsair or other if preferable to cash.

Thanks

I am looking for a set of the Japanese XD. They still havent shown up in my area and I cannot find them online.

Will pay cash.

Thanks
Stephen

I have all the plans done for one in 1/18, but can't say if I'll ever go through with it. Heheh. I know Im slow as heck, but I did make two passes at this since January and both turned out weak. I signed up for a "crafts" class at Long Beach City Community College starting in Sept. that looks to co...

Closures could be a great opportunity for the return of the independent neighborhood Toy Store - differentiated / specialized product offerings - One of the problems with KB and TRU was that they had the same product as Walmart / Target / Kmart - basically the battle coming down to price and conveni...

I'd love to see a Zero from BBI! Its weird because so far BBI has only done US vehicles and aircraft but first we hear they're planning a Hind and now a Zero. :P Remember that Toys R Us had the flap against German toys. I imagine that WWII Japanese would be the only 'enemy' type that could make it ...

Yes - i receievd mine last Tuesday or Wendesday.

Gotta give a second for Buildarama - they have a great variety of quality stuff.

Also - PowerTeamElite (available at KBtoys and other places) come with plastic crates, oil barrels, and plasticformed sandbags, and other type stuff.

While I am not the same guy that posted rules on GPs board, I do have some rules that I have been working on and off of for 1:18 scale wargaming that I would love to get to someone to playtest (a fresh set of eyes is critical for finding stupid mistakes, oversites, and making improvements). Mine mak...

Now the question becomes how to make the plug - would smaller sections be acceptable ? We havent yet made the machine, so im not sure what the usable diagonal would be with a heater built into the machine, but with my original version plans my oven size was my constrain as that is where I was going ...

Is this the model ?

I guess all of those surface grates would have to be cut in but the general structure itself seems doable in pieces.

The tower piece is a little more complicated...

well i'm glad you asked. :) I have given this much thought. The obvious choice is a type VIIC u-boat, as these did the lion's share of the work during the war. It was about 220 feet long. A tiny bit over 12 feet in 1/18. I invision doing it in four 3 foot long sections that connect together (by var...

what about my u-boat idea? I would definately be willing to give it a shot. Can you clairfy a little ? Are you thinking like breakaway sections - taking a u boat and chopping it into saller sections with the sections then being able to open up (like the joe submarine - http://www4.jcpenney.com/jcp/...

I'd be very interested in a Higgins landing craft, if that what you meant in your previous post. I am developing a summer project to make one from Balsa wood, but a plastic kit would be much better! Yep - the Higgins landing craft was the first on my list - the hull is really the main piece to vacu...

Thanks for the replies so far ! there arent any pictures yet as we havent built anything - I am just trying to gauge the interest to make it worth while to build the machine (it takes a lot of space). As for cost - material costs are pretty reasonable and the labor isnt much if you guys dont mind bu...

I have been thinking about putting together a large vaccuform table for a Higgins project I have been working on. But it really wont be worthwhile if I am just going to be making a small handful of hulls for myself. I have noticed that in larger scales vaccuform kits are pretty common and people don...

..and I like them. If you are looking for some fantasy based 1:18 stuff then these work great. Great accessories. What I am most impressed with is the articulation. They found a way to have very good articulation (at least in the packs I picked up) without the articulation points being too bulky or ...

I just picked some of the Army o' Dark up at Suncoast. They had a full assortment.

I don't want to come across as a smart ass,but I thought you just divide the 1/1 measurement by 18. I knocked up a few buildings over the last couple of days. http://groups.msn.com/KiwiRCTankCombat/battlefieldbuildings.msnw In my case,the buildings needed to be high enough to provide cover for my 1...
