Small Scale Military Headquarters

Ah, so.

If you like dinosaurs you can't really go wrong in picking up a PAPO Allosaur or two (they were "The Wolves of the Jurassic", you know) and starting your own pack. The Spinosaur was a friendly little "I'd rather be fishing" piscavore. The Raptors are really nice too, by the way.

Since I clearly don't have a life here are Papo Allosaur & Spinosaur. The Allo is ~11" long and the Spino is ~15". http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c315/photbug/DSC05650.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c315/photbug/DSC05651.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c315/photbug/DSC05652.jpg http:...

I ADD: Safari makes aq large (13" nose to tail tip) leaping Siberian Tiger (in both orange and white) which is the best Tiger and by far the best Safari figure ever. The orange even nicer than the white.... Papo also makes some excellent Tigers (and Tigress). Smaller (~7.5") but extraordinarily deta...

I guess the Japanese are just a smaller people.

Was that politically incorrect?

I also collect Macross Mecha http://s660.photobucket.com/albums/uu326/jjoc2112/?action=view¤t=100_0500.jpg Question for Itcbj, How big are the safari dinos compared to papo? I have only seen the papo in person but I think the safari look better, your opinion? The PAPO are ~1/40 scale. In my o...

Thank you very much dragon53.

Are they metal or plastic? They are adorable.

What do they cost?

What are they made of?

All plastic? Turrets turn? One or multipiece tracks/running gear?

I collect Dinosaur models/toys as well as "war" toys.
Marx, Papo, Safari, Invicta, Carnegie, Jurassic Park.... I have since I was very little.

@ $WH.at?

Looks good to me.

Oh. It's been a long time.

Also.

Are they 1/32 or 1/35? I seem to recall 1/35.

Inflation.

Wasn't the Calliope a Monogram model?

My first model tank was the Revell M-4 Sherman. 98c if I recall.

I also built a fleet out of the Revell ships.

Yes. The Tiger, Panther, Bradley are more like 1/87. The Abrams maybe 1/100. The casting on these is also very simple, the main armament(s) either plastic or rubber, the tracks are one piece with the running gear and they have little wheels. On the other hand the turrets and hulls are die-cast metal...

About nine (9) tons.

Along with its prodigious fuel consumption, difficulty in negotiating off road terrain and poor quality armor?

It did have a fabulous main gun though.

Cool! 8) Thanks for the pic. That certainly looks like they are loading a Marder. Great proof. Although I do have to say that being able to air transport something does not mean it is necessarily designed to be so. I would guess that the Germans were in the middle of trying to figure out how to figh...

That was how I felt for a long time. But then I decided to just black out the interior of the cockpit "glass" (kind of like tinting the windows of your hopped up Mustang) and they look fine.

I read an article about that one time. All I remember was that one tank fell through the floor of the glider in flight. Not a good way to go. They also crossed the Rhine. Osprey just put out a book on those tanks.

-H

I hope that the crew wasn't in it. What a way to go if they were.

War.

I would say for weapon: The a-bomb. Wasn't man portable then but it is now.

The Corsair had the highest kill to loss ratio.
