Small Scale Military Headquarters

Hey gang,

There were some security updates required to keep the database going and I finally had a moment to make the changes. It's back online here:

Thank you gentlemen. Here are some add-on kits for Mules that need a bit more firepower: M2HB 50 Caliber Heavy Machine Gun - Add-on Kit: https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e7e625_ca9538d6044d47a4a9c26bbde0d501ec~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_880,h_602,al_c,q_90,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01/e7e625_ca9538d6044d47a4a9c26bbd...

I thought this M274 Mule Utility Truck might be of interest to those of you that collect Vietnam War figures: https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e7e625_149cacdd1607464aa80db49c6d5d34f4~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_880,h_546,al_c,q_90,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01/e7e625_149cacdd1607464aa80db49c6d5d34f4~mv2.webp https://s...

Thanks YT! Have you decided with livery you are going to go with?

Also, here is a video on how to put it together.

All Panzer I pre-orders have shipped. I'm putting together some updated photos and an assembly video over the next few days and will post the update here. Thank you to everyone that pre-ordered, pointed out mistakes or offered support though the forums. It keeps me going!

They snap. I’m working on a way to get the cost down for a full set. The big tanks had a lot of tracks and the cost jumps up very quickly.

Almost finished.. Plan to ship by months end to the early supporters.

Well, it finally happened.. Prototype 2! There is one Pre-order slot left. After that the price increases by $50. https://i.imgur.com/3tWJrmfh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/1wGJl8dh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/K524vYlh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/vAtZ4j5h.jpg https://i.imgur.com/pvOQZS0h.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Q...

It's been over a year since he has been on the forum as far as I can tell.

A few more items from this thread have been completed and are in the Battleground store: M1 Carbine Family: M1 Carbine https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e7e625_38bc1728641045549fcce71e28b9d135~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_500,h_194,al_c,q_90,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01/e7e625_38bc1728641045549fcce71e28b9d135~mv2.png M...

Instructional video on how to assemble your Flak 38:

Grunt1, you still making this kit? I tried contacting you, and it seems like you responded back, but it says I am not authorized to read your message while it is on "hold"? Never seen that yet on here. I would like to get one of these M3s. Let me know, and thank you Yes, here is the link to the mod...

I forgot to mention that this new Flak 38 is now available here:

Polish Pete painted up this Flak 38 and I thought it turned out fantastic! He has been kind enough to let me share his photos.

Thank you for the positive feedback everyone! Some requested a photo of the tracks installed so here you go. Note that the Panzer I could run with either 87 or 88 links installed. I presume(?) this had to do with ground conditions, speed, traction desired, etc. Anyway, this is with all 88 links. htt...

These took me a while to get right but I am very happy with the new working snap tracks for the Panzer I. Now that this is out of the way, on to the final version of the hull.

Photos didn't do them justice so here is a video:

A short update: I hit a few major stumbling blocks on some of my larger projects like the Panzer I and the Flak 38 that slowed me down. The good news is that the Flak 38 is done and will be released next week so I can now focus my time on finishing up the Panzer I.

Hi guys, It's taken me a while but I was finally able to find time and remaster the original Battleground Flak 38. There is a ton of additional detail, bolts, rivets, hooks, diamond plating, vents and more. The Flak rotates 360 degrees and has about 60 degrees of elevation. The gun magazines fit ont...

K&C.. I was wondering where that universal carrier came from. I have that on my Fall to do list.

It's amazing what those two wrist styles do to improve articulation...

"Perhaps more optional arms and legs molded in various positions like a few offerings did." <- this! I didn't realize how spoiled I was by 21st Century and Dragon fixed arms and legs. Even with Hasbro class articulation from Marauder some poses like aiming down sights on a rifle are near impossible.

What material is used for this model? Thank you NSA. It's a challenging project but it's looking good so far. Josef, the majority of the parts are plastic. The main body will either be plastic or a plastic/carbon fiber blend. I'm testing options now to try to balance the right mix of durability, de...

You made that 37mm look like a prize winner with that dio and figure arrangement! I need one on my shelf!

I missed the April deadline which is frustrating. I am getting a better sense of how this little lady will come together. Here is a preview of one of the pages from the assembly instructions to give you a sense. Note that many of the small details and parts have been removed to make the visual more ...

Absolutely first rate!
