Where in the heck...

did the camo on the German to the right, come from?

I've been meaning to ask this question forever; because, I have just never seen it elsewhere.

OH MY. The Tiger I has the the zimmerit. The Panther has skirts.
I dunno how I'm going to pay bills this summer.
If they release the KT, or god willing, some of those mystery figures we've been hearing about... I'll go ahead and file chapter 11 tomorrow, haha.

I like how you have the tunic piece coming out under the smock.

Very innovative. I hadn't thought to try that myself...very good inspiration.

Well done as always.

..Yeah, the last time 21st had a heart attack, it left the 1/6th scale completely, and concentrated on the smaller scale like the 1/18th, because it has very few competitors in this scale (if it had any at all) at the time... Although, 21st C still pops out the occasional 1/6 weapons set. With that...

Didn't 21st kind of recluse a few years ago, right after TRU stopped carrying their stuff?
If I'm not mistaken about this, then that only means that they have the ability to bounce back.

Zimmerit did come in a pattern like that -- and came in several variations in fact -- but, it wasn't really that, "tile-ish."

If you scroll down, you'll see a black and white thumbnail of Zimmerit patterns.

Personally, I have never been a fan of the FOV figures. I think they all look ridiculous when put up next to BBI, or better yet, 21st Century WWII figures. I have bought them only for the heads, hands, and helmets. I only really collect WWII military figures, so these paratroopers are definately out...

Last night I bought four of the newest U.S. figures, (two .30 cal gunners and two sharp shooters), and one of the German assault riflemen. I saw more of these figures before Xmas. That same WM had three pegs stocked with a varied amount of that wave. I didn't have the money at the time, but I did la...

The gear and uniforms is a little more accurate on the XD Germans. The guns suck on both. You should re equip both lines of figures with Dragon weapons, and gear if you can. I think the FOV US troops mix better than the FOV Germans do. Their legs are too long, and their web gear is all farked up. Pe...
