Small Scale Military Headquarters

I picked up some of the FOV stuff from the recent Target clearance for trade or sale. I'm selling it at cost plus actual shipping or would love to trade for any WWII 1/18 scale figures or vehicles (including parts and fodder such as fuel tanks etc.). If no one's interested it's going back to Target ...

I voted for no new scales. I like seeing 1/16 and 1/6 stuff pop up here every now and then for reference but I think that both scales already have enough existing forum sites. I like the small size of our little 1/18 world and it seems like we've got enough "in-house" drama without bringing in the i...

I have tried that......it does not have the right look for 1/18th...it does look good for 1/32 :wink: bristles are to skinny might work for some plant types..besides the bristle can be quite stiff..that can make placing figure in it a difficult....I also tired that in my quest to find a perfect 1/1...

everything here has hit the 75% off mark. 1/32 figure sets and 1/72 aircraft are $2 and change. haven't seen any armor yet but I've got to go to a different Target in the AM that a friend said had tons of "your little men" on clearance. I don't collect anything outside of 1/18 scale so I have no ide...

Well, I think the scheme and the addition of the fenders completely turn me off to something like this... -Ski yeah but for a customs base it's great, cut the fenders off an it'll be getting repainted anyway. I'd be interested in tracking down the US distributor on these just to see how cheap they ...

saw these at Michael's, they seemed to be about the right height. http://thumb4.webshots.net/t/63/563/6/66/84/2642666840051226484gIrLrU_th.jpg If you need something for deep jungle I've got this tree thing that might work... http://thumb4.webshots.net/t/72/172/8/52/10/2091852100051226484ZQGwnj_th.jp...

I swear I saw a tile pattern before, but for the life of me I can't remember where. it felt familiar to me too but I'm pretty sure it just reminds me of the way Explosive Reactive Armor looks on this T72 http://www.army-technology.com/projects/t72/images/t-72_1.jpg http://ipmsstockholm.org/magazine...

but,but,but..... I thought you said to use tile mastic for the zimmerit detail!!! Obviously if you're using the mastic then you've got to lay some tile on top of it...

So we've seen the 21st version, the Motorworks version, the New Millennium Toys version, and now whatever the hell this is "Tanks of War" version in what looks to be NATO woodland camo... :?: http://cgi.ebay.com/1-18-Tanks-of-War-Camo-WW-2-German-Panzer-lV-RC-Tank_W0QQitemZ280302011805QQcmdZViewItem...

They are like apples and oranges when compared to BBI's superior offerings. The regular Bravo Team Soldiers and Marines are still some of the best generic modern figures available, in my opinion :wink: I haven't really looked at these too close since they're modern era but aren't they repaints of t...

anyone have any good side by side comparison pics of 1/16 and 1/18 figures and armor together? Never actually seen any 1/16 in person...


EDIT: erm... yeah, this should have been over in the 1/16 thread.

Cleaning out some stuff in my garage. Free stuff if anyone in the Atlanta area wants it before it goes to the thrift store. I'm in the Ashford Park/Brookhaven area. PM me if you want any or all of it. Random 3-3/4" Corps figures and stuff http://thumb4.webshots.net/t/66/566/1/8/88/292910888005122648...

Cobb Pkwy Four Star stuff was clearanced on one of the toy endcaps and there were only about 10 or so items (sorry didn't look to see what, just noticed the packaging). Lithonia had a ton more stuff, figures on the regular pegs and some armor and aircraft on the aisle endcap. Tons of the guys with s...

I'm completely clueless as to the 1/32 scale stuff so sorry if this is old news. Saw tons of the Four Star boxed 21st figures and vehicles on clearance at the Lithonia/Stonecrest Target and some over at the Cobb Parkway Target. First time I've seen these at Target in this area so I thought I'd let y...

Next time you're checking your local Target toy stock scope out the clearance endcaps over in the tool section . Picked up a Dremel Stylus cordless li-ion today for $35. 50% off is a steal on this. I thought the pistol grip on it would be weird but it's actually growing on me. Worth checking your lo...

Yep, but for that price you'd be 100 times better off buying the 21st 88. The denix one was great a few years back as a stop-gap 88 but now that we've got a true 1:18th scale version it's obviously too big and, while nice and heavy die-cast metal, it's not as detailed. The History Channel website cl...

Back OT a little bit here 8) I'm starting to wonder if 21st really is out of WM. I've been cruising around the ATL area and noticed that the stores have the planogram sheets up in the toy aisles for the Spring 09 layouts. Some stores I don't see a single space for 1/18 or 32x, others have spaces for...

I saw a Canvas top truck at Kmart for $23. First one I've seen, Is it worth getting at that price? If I buy it they will show up on clearence...if I do not get it I'll never see one again :roll: . Yeah, I'd go ahead and grab it, but only AFTER you check your local TJMaxx and Marshalls stores. I pic...

I've never used the ambroid in a tube but if you go to the hobby store be aware that ambroid also makes pro weld liquid that's only for plastic to plastic (basically methelyne chloride, like tenax). I'd go with something like the ambroid pickelhaube suggested or a two part epoxy over using a cyanoac...

it says Hooga Loo Toys on the box and the website also says "RHIP Toys 2008".

R.H.I.P. indeed... these get "demoted" in my book.

scale fail! seriously, what marketing wunderkind decided to produce these in a scale that doesn't match any of the existing toy lines on the shelf. I anticipate red clearance stickers will be on these with a quickness. The website game aspect looks like a marketing data gathering tool as it says the...

great work on all of these! I've got to echo Razor on the DAK leg source question. I've been trying to work out some shorts for SAS custom figures and the ones you've done here look great. Are the bare leg sections modified arm sections from a GI Joe or Indy figure?

count me in for one if you decide to do it.
