Small Scale Military Headquarters

Great! really like! A diorama that depicts the real grunts! HOOHA! ps: how did you make the flag? I used an old white t-shirt, cut the flag out to the approx. size. Then holding a quarter in the center, I took a Testor red paint marker and colored the flag all around the quarter. Did the same on th...

I made a little souvenir for my 82nd Airborne. I don't know if its got anything on the other soldier's Luger though? Seeing the different dioramas, from this board, has inspired me to do more with them than having them just stand there :D http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v469/corvette01/DSC03008.jpg

Yea, I did'nt notice the ARMY on the hood untill after I owned it for about 2hrs Really I don't think anyone could tell if its a Army or Marine version and vise-versa for the driver.
Anyone have suggestion for removing the lettering from the hood?

With the price of these vehicles averaging around $50, what do you collect by? As do you collect one of every paint scheme or just the one of each model. I personally stick to one of each. And if you do collect one of each, what determines which paint scheme you buy? I try to go by which is historic...

Its the Snake Marine version. No box cause its on display. Its in perfect condition. Need to make room for different vehicles

I would like to trade for a:

Bradley, M113 , Kiowa Helicopter or $25 plus shipping

I was checking a few things out at TRU this evening, while I was there I fiqure I get a BBI 1:18 USMC fiqure, You know, to ride up in the 50.cal of the 2nd Recon Marine Super Humvee. I get home and get him out to set up in the Hummer. Well first thing.....Why is the 50. mounting setup so chessy. It ...

February 12, 2005--Bad Cat proudly announces a new association with Build-A-Rama. The 'Cat has ordered all the available 1:18 and 1:32 accessories and expects to have these up on the site for sale by the end of the month.

Thought I would give a heads-up if no one saw it yet

I now I was ranting earlier on WM and TRU. Well this evening we went to both to see what the status was. First WM, had Tigers and M113 for $35,and 1:6 Kubelwagen and Mutts :shock: Anyway I am going to wait for the M113 to get cheaper or try Ebay. We then went to one of the closer TRU and since the b...

If you wait a little while, maybe you'll get lucky and your Walmart will clearance them also..

I agree, I saw some today and they were $35. I'll wait a few more weeks and see what happens

My wife has a $20 gift card to WM and I think I convinced her to let me use it on the M113, which sells for $30. I just started buying the modern stuff due to the popularity of the vehicles being used in Iraq. I already have the LAV,& Abrams. I'm looking to add the Hummer and Bradley. Is the M113 wo...

The bad part is, back around 1998-99 I was roaming through TRU and saw they had a blue nose P-51 and Me109 hanging from the ceiling. I go down the aisle, and stacked floor to ceiling down the whole aisle was 21st 1:18. All the buildings, tanks , jeeps, kubelwagens, and planes, from WWII to modern. I...

I don't know if its my location here in the Midwest, but Ive lost faith in TRU and Walmart is'nt far behind. The TRU here are combined w/ the KidsRus and a little of BabysRus. Thats at every store here in the St.Louis area. Well it totally scaled the to toy selection. 21st was gone about 1.5 years a...

Any links to references or ideas. I'm looking for misc. stuff like bricks, sandbags, crates, and 55gal. drums to name a few. Any ideas? I would like to add a little more realsim to the troops, instaed of them just standing there and staring

That does look pretty close to scale. Close enough anyway to be passable. Nice piece, just checked it out off your link. $85 isn't too bad for an all metal piece. Now, I have to figure out the justification for ordering it :lol: LI1 I'm always glad to help in supporting a "habit" :wink: Justificati...

My wife got me this couple years before i started collecting the XD. It seems like the proper scale, what do you guys think? Its all metal and the detail is kinda good. If interested heres the link http://store.aetv.com/html/product/index.jhtml?id=81149&browseCategoryId=&location=&parentcatid=&subca...

Roy - And as the working relationship between the factory and myself improves, I think you will see even bigger improvements in quality and detail. I’m pretty excited about the next five forthcoming airplanes. They all seem like they’re going to be real, real beautiful. But then I saw here that the ...

Yes for now, but like everyone else here, the collection is always growing

Here are a couple of shots of the bottom planes. The WWIs & Wright Bros. are Lego kits ,heres the link http://shop.lego.com/leaf.asp?cn=57&d=14&t=7. (I even have the Star Destroyer) :roll: As for the Mustang, its a genaric of Legos called Megablocks. I got that at ToysRUs. http://img.photobucket.com...

You know something i don't, Ski?

This is going to be an exciting year! Gotta get my Christmas list going

The 262! How did you find out, I looked all over 21st site and saw nothing on it.


Awsome

Since 21st is taking a change for the good, what about a German jet 262. According to the interview on 21st website w/ Roy, he stated they try to stick w/ planes that are popular and that will sell. I think a lot of people know Germany produced the 1st jet, so it would only make since to make it :D ...

Any idea? I was looking foward to it for Christmas, but then I saw at Badcat Aviation that it was delayed. I hope its not canceled

Welcome aboard! I'm envious of all that space you have!! Great looking collection! :D I did have all that in one of the bedrooms, but last year when I found out my wife was pregnant and was due in Nov. I knew we needed a babys room. So that was motivation to get the basement done. Which opened up a...

I came across this web site through 21st Centurys link. I'm glad there are more people like me that get excited over the 1/18 :) I've been buying the XD for 3yrs now and just started getting some BBIs. My main passion is WWII and all military airplanes, but I also could'nt pass up the more popular m...
