Small Scale Military Headquarters

There are only three 21C AFV rarities in 1/32; the Walker Bulldog, Jagdpanther and M-113. The WB had two series but has not been produced since the initial WM offering and the second two saw just one series and release. I never did get the JP as I have a few FOV versions but would like to pick one u...

I found a few things on clearance but my Targets are bare bones. All the IJ stuff is gone...

Is it just me or does that Panzer commander have some big, Mickey Mouse-like hands?

I think you may have found a new playset... I have never seen or heard of this. Perhaps 21C is not dead.

Sorry I couldn't respond earlier today, I've been traveling and busy with work all day and I just got to a computer to check in on the forum. It's cold in Cleveland for a boy from the south... :shock: :D Thank you for the backup Jason old buddy. I figured that I would get negativity here from some....

21C PzIVs are not easily found these days so I picked one of these up about six months ago. Must replace MG and eliminate overhang off the tread cover running board but otherwise looks good. No opening hatches but for the $40 shipped I paid I was happy with it.

No disrespect to anyone on this thread (birddog, I love your intel usually), but as much as I would love to believe I just can't buy the secret-squirrel-Chinese-toy-fair-hidden-e-mail-address-so-1/18-corporate-spies-can't-scoop-us-while-we-build-everyone's-four-favorite-modern-jets-angle here.

Wow, where did you dig that nugget up? That would be guarranteed to be the worst selling series in the history of the hobby...right next to the "Preparation H" Mutt with TOW.

Mitch knows I love him. I just hate what the italics have done to him...

Holy crap, how did I miss this thread? Corey, you have been rude and inconsiderate. Don't do it again. Welcome back! 8) Trade warnings are put out of the forum when someone defrauds another by receiving goods without paying or delivering their part of the trade correct? No fraud here... I have done ...

I did a 1/32 Callipe mod. Luckily I save quite a bit of time and money on you PH because I wasn't blessed with all that God-given skill and patience. I used straws and balsa wood and painted it OD. It looks like a bunch of straws and balsa wood painted OD though... :roll: Love to see one in 1/18. Pe...

IIRC, there are only 3 versions of the Tiger I out. The S1 version was totally panzer gray, and Ostketten has pics of the other 2. Harry's correct. The S2 matched the S2 armored car and halftrack yellow brown with fairly subdued red and green camo. The S3 was the Iron horse release with the yellow ...

You guys hit it right on the head with the 1/32 Stryker. The F-104 will be the next best hope. Wild card a P-38 from BBI?

Or will a new manufacturer start up and fill the void in...another Tiger?

Bremerton WA Walmart figures $3.00 each. They just got the .30 machine gunner and others and they went straight to clearance. Went ahead and picked up a set.Plus they had a ton of platoon. Found the same down south in Lacey; first time I have ever seen the sniper, MG gunner and assault gunner and g...

I bought an RC tank that used the same hull and turret with the original 21C running gear. It needed a repaint and removal of the incorrect mudflaps and poorly molded .50 cal. It seems they are hell bent on ruining this model one bit at a time. There is also an M1 Abramskampfwagen ausf. J if I recal...

In these austere 1/18 times we can't afford to be picky now, can we?

This post is really all over the place, but let me chime in. Talking about Sherman conversions, how about a Calliope? Fairly easy build and best yet, wouldn't take up a ton of horizontal shelf space like a flail or dozer model.

GD, I love the cigar and smoke. Looks great. Your stuff is always top notch.

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: . I like the canvas truck better. My personal opinion is I will never again pass up stuff I want waiting...

May I suggest finding a way to supersize the house so you can collect all the scales? Start with 1/32, move to 1/18 and then dabble in 1/72, 1/48 and 1/144. Foster out the children, divorce the wife, put down Fido, whatever you have to do to make room. Or rooms. Preferably one per scale.

Thanks for the pics Tman. It does look to me like these are new molds scaled down from the 1/18 versions. If to get new 1/18 scale we must endure worsened quality in the 1/32 market, I say go for it. This means a new line for FOV in 1/32 and does not necessarily mean their old line dies. In fact, wh...

This coming from the Croc-race guy?

TKO, I hate it when my sister uses the ol' "new baby" excuse to get out of helping me with my customs.

My vacuum is hungry for these little fellars!

Thanks guys but hot water was part of the process. I just gave up and figured they would be foot infantry for me.
