Does anyone know who makes some decals or dry transfers that are in , or close to, 1/18th scale? Where I can get them? I have some WWII decals , US markings, by Microscale buy they are in HO scale.

It's true, the Bradley was not 1:6 scale! Not even close...I had bought one to build an interior , but after seeing how off the scale was, I sold it. I'm sure they got a lot of negative feedback on the scale...so now they are shooting for accuracy. Don't call it 1/6th if it's 1/9th! Half of this boa...

Those pics help some....but how do you know if you need a two part mold, and how do you do a two part mold? Do you need clay for that...how do you make sure the two halves line up? Sorry for all the questions

thanks, does the liquid rubber work for plastic. Lets say you want to make a mold of some plastic parts that came in a model tank kit, would you use this. Do you need a releasing agent for this? This process seems complex, is it for someone who's never done it?

Scratch Build with Resin Molds

Sorry, maybe this post should go someplace else but I was looking for someone out there who knows how to make a resin mold. What materials do I need and how hard is it to make a mold using resin? Is this how scratch builders make copies of things? Any help would be great. Oh, if you have a plastic p...

I saw a kit today of a 1/16 t-34. Can't remember who made it, but it was not an RC kit. I read here the static version has an interior? Anyone built this kit, and is it any good....also, what do the 21st 1:18 scale guys look next to it. Someone please post pics! I'm very curious to see if the scale ...

Well, I just thought I'd follow up, since I started this thread. Ordered 6 figs on Monday morning, items showed up on Weds. at lunch. All figures were correct, and in great shape! I'm very happy and will order from them again...I dealt with Matt, he was cool and helpful!

I'd throw some paint on it and call it a custom, and re-list....leave the picture off all together...this is bullcrap. His beef is with 21st, not you. Your just reselling an item that you now own. What a bunch of crap!

I have a custom Hedgerow cutter to mount on the front of my Sherman tank. Does anyone know the proper placement for this? The one I have appears to mount to the cross beam that's on the 21st Sherman, but it's angled down ??? Shouldn't it be parallel to the ground? In otherwords mounted lower than th...

I think the Tamiya paint goes on nicer....it takes more coats...but the mist is finer than that of testors...which you have to watch...the paint comes out really fast. I had bad luck with hardware store spraypaints!
