Small Scale Military Headquarters

This weekend I think that I may start my on forum directions.. I think that the directions should go on the Custom forum. Input welcomed. :wink: Technically, this is neither a "custom" nor a "mod" in the sense that what we have is a kit, and you'll be telling us how you, the designer and creator of...

Very, very nice ... and I also love the F-18 NASA chase -- one of these days, I'm going to do one of my F-104s in late-50s/early-60s NASA chase colors.

I'm a little concerned about those hooks -- are they just cup hooks screwed into drywall? Or do you have butterfly bolts behind them?

Great pics from your factory. The way things are going, I may have to put off building mine until the summer; something to really look forward to!

:shock: Do they fly? unfortunately no, their just display models very NICE display models.... As a former R/C flyer, I'm actually glad he doesn't try to make flying models. The number of youtube videos of gorgeous scale planes turning into heartbreaking clouds of balsa dust and cracked vacu-formed ...

If TKO is, indeed, considering legal action in this matter, I would suggest that we refrain from discussing this on a public forum.

Wow . . .

... but that guy is either already rich or retired, because that's more than a full-time job ...

Enter the KING WESTMORELAND. O that we now had here But one ten thousand of those men in England That do no work to-day! KING. What's he that wishes so? My cousin Westmoreland? No, my fair cousin; If we are mark'd to die, we are enow To do our country loss; and if to live, The fewer men, the greater...

For me, the delay is a good thing. I'm blessed with some good work-work right now, so getting the kit now would just make me frustrated that I couldn't work on it.

Glad you had a good holiday!

I got my radar pod over the holidays. WOW -- Really, really great work -- very impressive and GREAT value!

THANKS for doing this project.

Swell. Tom Cruise in a Flying Tigers film? First I've heard of that. Hope it doesn't come to be. I simply cannot stand the sight of the guy, never understood his appeal on any level, and personally think he is out of his freekin' mind and is in a dangerous money cult. That alone means I won't put a...

I don't think the timing is right to hope for an xmas release Tuskeegee model 10-11 months after the film's been in the theaters. And as for Star Wars, the whole toy tie-in was an unknown back in the time of the original Star Wars movie. Since then, the movie studios have honed development, producti...

You forgot to mention Admiral's 1/18 Mosquito.

Maybe someone should start a 1/18 "mythical beasts" thread . . .

My own Xmas money went toward some recent really great purchases on the BST forum: - My third Razorback P-47 (and I never thought I'd get even one!) - A second green Zero - THREE (!) Stukas (bringing my total to four; one - desert - to stay in the box for now and one fairly beat up one held in antic...

ack! -- first the "AllGo A-10," now the "JSI F-15"! Someone post about the Admiral WWI planes and we'll have the bases loaded.

well . . . I had heard or seen somewhere that the Tamiya drought was supposed to begin to let up in December but, checking Tower just now, I see more colors than ever noted as "Temporarily Unavailable," including, of course, the Dark Yellow I need most. Anyone know if this is going to be a permanent...

After many, many experiments .... http://gregburch.net/IMG-20111228-00340.jpg (only the last phase of which are shown), I've come up with a paneled fin design that MAY be an improvement on what I had a few weeks ago: http://gregburch.net/IMG-20111228-00337.jpg The parts for the fin on the left have ...

... horrible thread title . . . got my hopes up for a few moments . . .

The Hellcat from BBI was the absolute worst in my opinion. Functionally, it's a floppy mess. There is so much to be frustrated by... The flaps, the wings, the main gear, the canopy shape... It's a real shame too! I'm inclined to agree -- very frustrating model. I took mine down from the ceiling the...

If I recall, the P-38 was very early in the Golden Age. As big, impressive and sturdy as the model is, there's much to wish for, in comparison to later models: No moving control surfaces and the contour of the vertical stabs is poor on the leading and trailing edges (P-40-ish) ... at least those are...

... and another Christmas, 67 years ago:

I'm curious what your criticisms of the Razorback are (aside from the obvious problem of the huge notch in the razorback for canopy retraction).

they're shipping stuff from Hong Kong? I didn't really think about that. i thought they have an office in the US. That's what I assumed -- that they'd build up some inventory here and use a third-party shipping outfit to manage filling orders. But that will put them into direct competition with est...

Looks really, really good! Very nice to see this project come to a first release level.

I'll take one -- PM me so we can work out Paypal payment and shipping.

I'd bet you're thinking of a next project. Any clues?
