Very nice indeed

This is very,very nice work. Looks like you have a few bills invested, but well worth it in my opinion. I passed on that bridge. Did you paint the train and which one did you use :?:

Went back to check WM and spoke to the clerk. She said the Tanks had been reduced to $6 to move them and they are all gone. :?

Good news short term?

Got a couple of winter tigers today @ Gonzales La. WM for $12 each plus a couple of Winter Shermans. Glad to get them but is good for the long term with WM and 21st?

Weights

Hope not on purpose, but you never know. The BBI is not die cast but it is well made. I weighed the Diecast 21st Sherman and it is 2pounds.
The BBI is 1.5 pounds. The original 21st Sherman is 1.25 pounds, or there about.

Got mine....

Got my Panzer IV in today and I am relieved. I didnt expect much but it goes so well with the other tanks. It really looks impresive by itself. There are a total of 8 opening doors as well. The only problem I have is the muzzle break which like the others is turned sidways and glued on pretty tight....

I like em...

:roll: I think the BBI Sherman and the 21st diecast complement each other extremely well. Both versions have their good points. I like the detail and extras on the BBI. I like the original 21st Sherman because it kind of started all this. I really like the paint job of the 21st diecast though . Hope...

Anyone have any luck...

Any one have any luck changing the head on the BBI Sherman Tanker?
I pulled pretty hard and the head didnt come off. I wanted to replace the head with one of the BBI Marines but I dont want to break the figure. Thanks :!:

I likes it...

I really, really like the ankle joint on the BBi tanker. It really gives a great note of realism to the figure. The thigh joint would have been nice but the ankle was well done. My 2 cents.

Heavy subject:

I was curious so I got my mail scale out and measured the weight of the Shermans. The original issue weighed in @ 1.313 lbs. The diecast Shermen was an even 2 lbs. and the new BBi came in @ 1.5lbs. My critique of the BBi Sherman comes with a good deal of relief that it is perfectly compatible with t...

Need ammo...

Thanks toyktdlgh. Quick question though. I read that there would be four each of the 30 and 50 cal. ammo boxes. Only see two each in the pics. I guess therefore there are really only two each, yes? :?

Right... been so long forgot about the halftracks. But what I meant to say was the accessary packs. If BBi does this in a quality way I will really be happy. Something along the line of the quality of the Dragon accessories would be fantastic. However Ill take what I can get. Not long ago it seemed ...
