Small Scale Military Headquarters

Hi everyone. I have been been meaning to get some 1/18 WWII British "Gavin Reid" paratroopers for a while now. http://www.sshqdb.com/18/index.php?cat=122 However, Small Joes and Foxhole Toys have now sold out of them and I was wondering if there was some way I could get them without having to go thr...

I'll add my name to the list too. How generous. Thank you!

Cheers,

Able Archer

Hi everyone. I have been wanting to get maybe four or more of these 1/18 WWII British "Gavin Reid" paratroopers for a while now. However, Small Joes and Foxhole Toys have now sold out of them and I was wondering if anyone had any that are MIB or at least a complete set. I can pay or trade some other...

A Leopard 1 would also be awesome! Its just such a sleek example of West German design: finesse and firepower n the one package!

Hi Everyone. Here's my views, probably not a surprise considering my interest in the cold war. Armor BMP-1 T-55 T-72 T-34/85 M-109 Paladin M1126 Stryker Helicopters Mil Mi 24 Hind Gunship Ka 50 Alligator Mil Mi 28 Havoc British Lynx HH-53 Pavelow Aircraft Mig 21 AV-8B Harrier F-4 Phantom II A-10 A-7...

Here's another link showing another few interesting examples especially the Makarov PM and AN-94. http://www.flickr.com/photos/kubcollector/538732377/sizes/o/ I suppose the one thing about these accessories (and figures of course) is that they are a little on the pricey side, though they are pretty ...

As we strive to find new avenues to fill the void left by 21st and the still working but for the meantime dormant factories of bbi I have been examining the Kubrick and Medicom brands, especially the Metal Gear Solid series and the Special forces series from Kubrick. I was wondering if any or their ...

Thanks for all the advice guys. Knew I could count on you. Well you've convinced me to do it all through Marauder Inc ( I was planing to get a few things through them anyway at some point). Looks like I can just ad the trigger guards myself or customize the AK-74 by cutting down the muzzles break a ...

Yes I know but I just saw a whole lot of the black AK-47s (about 10) for sale on ebay the other day and I liked the mould a little better than the marauder one. I suppose I could just customise the marauder one's myself but I just like having weapons with trigger guards to display in the background ...

Sorry to be a bore but I've got another question to ask about people's opinions on the 25th Anniversary GI Joe AK-47s and whether they are compatible with 1/18 figures, namely the 21st century marine and Japanese infantry I am turning into Cold War African mercenaries and government soldiers. I've r...

Hi everyone, as usual I am seeking your expert opinions on 1/18 firearms matters. This time it relates to the M1 Carbine and SVD Dragunov. So I was just wondering two things. First which M1 Carbine is better? The earlier one that comes with Corporal Tommy Brit Lamb: http://www.sshqdb.com/18/displayi...

Thanks for the pic popeye and your kind offer to trade. As luck would have it I've actually got a couple of these which I received in an order from ebay a while ago and I had always wondered where they had come from but now I know. I will probably pass on trying to pick any more of these up as I agr...

I'm really just looking at the rifle Razor. I'm trying to come up with an extensive 1/18 small arms collection. Some people in 1/18 do armour, others do planes and I do small arms. I suppose for me its small arms for a small budget but thats my specialty. Rather different I know. It's also the area ...

Hi all, Just wondering if any of you who have bought the 1/18 M1025 Humvee Desert w/2 Figures from Monkey Depot could give me some more information on the accesories that come with the two figures that are advertised as coming with the humvee. I am particularly interested in the M-16A2 assault rifle...

Well its good to see at least 21st's products are still in the marketplace in considerable volume, shame the actual company isn't.

This is insane! I suppose ...

Yeah from what I've seen the The bbi British Paratrooper Helmet could work well. Nice amount of camo netting on it. Maybe the bbi WWII US paratroopers helmets might work as well. I believe they are US M1 steel pattern.

How about some West German Bundeswehr soldiers from the Cold War. Easy Custom. All you need is an US M1 Helmet (Plenty of those around) or one of those Wehrmacht caps, Field Grey Uniform with the German flag pianted really small on the upper arm on both sleaves. For weaponary an FoV MG-42 painted as...

I was drawn to this topic and was wondering which M2 .50 Cal Machine gun is better? The Bravo Team one or the bbi one that came with the WWII figures?

I have 2 of the Bravo Team one with the ammunition box attached but I was wondering what the bbi one with the .50 Cal belt is like?

Thanks.

Looks very cold war!!!

...ahhh very bad joke.

But seriously it does. NATO exercises in West Germany circa 1968 perhaps?

Good work.

Unfortunately no chance of snow in our 40 degrees + heat in Australia at the moment!

Ha ha ha ha.... ahhh I'm so envious! 1/18 XD are $13.50 to $17.50 Australian in town while most vehicles are over $60. Aircraft over $120. Even the 1/32 scale items are over $40 per set or vehicle. I suppose the one place that sells them does have a bit of a monopoly though. Still at least my 1960s/...

Good to have another Aussie on the board! They're must be a few of us now, not bad for a country with very little XD. Welcome!

Merry Christmas from Down Under!
Hope its a good one and Santa brings you lots of XD, bbi, etc!

Thanks guys. You're you've been extremely helpful! Hopefully I'll be in contact when I'm past the six month mark and I've got a defence budget sorted (albeit a very small one). Foxhole Toys seem to be selling them at $15.95 each not including postage, so I'll definitely have to look into any chance ...

Cheers Razor. Looks like you're right and you've confirmed my suspicions that Reid's sidearm is indeed a Browning Hi Power. Just need to get my hands on some now which should be the difficult part. It seems that bbi is keen to have a diverse range of sidearms as I discovered recently when I opened u...
