Small Scale Military Headquarters

hmmm ... a little light in the east . . . .

As I anticipated it would, real-world work has really ramped up, reducing significantly my ability to push this project over the "finish" (!?!) line. In what little time I have had, things have changed and moved a little: "The Best is the enemy of the Good:" http://gregburch.net/IMG-20111220-00326.j...

really, really, really, really, really, really, outstanding work!

. . . some day . . .

Well . . . I have gotten to the point where I've actually stopped myself from buying a plane with the thought that -- hey, you already have four or five of these in different versions; or even that I already have two or three of the SAME version (with the idea of a custom some time in the misty reac...

Don't sweat it! We all know you've been working very hard on this project. Some schedule slippage is inevitable. I am 100% certain that not a single person who's put money down on this project is concerned -- we all know we'll get more than our money's worth. ... and don't give up the idea of doing ...

This is actually a pretty good idea -- although I'd probably call it "promotion" or "promoting" rather than "advertising." I can think of two kinds of web sites where promoting this forum would make sense: online vendors of 1/18 stuff and other model fora. It's been a while since I've been involved ...

i found sever sellers on ebay uk that are selling this tank. Unfortunately none ship to north america. However, here's a pic of one in the box. Dimension quotes are varying quite a bit, so i don't know who to trust. As near as i can tell, it's about 1/19. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-20-Remote-Contr...

Having greedily picked up quite a few things in the BST forum over the last few months, and buying plastic like crazy for my V-2 project, I've pretty much depleted my 1:18 budget (and more) for now. I'm going to have to take a pass on this expensive bird for now . . . hopefully they'll still be arou...

no problem i should be back up there before christmas ill have pictures up by january If there is indeed some mythical repository of XD as you describe, I, for one, would contribute to underwriting an expedition to acquire these valuable artifacts from an earlier age. I think, perhaps, a floppy, ov...

Building up release-version parts inventory in the rocket factory:



A couple of sheets of what could be release-version instructions:

Should I post them here on the 1/18 forum or the customs forum ? Honestly, I would say here. This is in light of the discussion we've had previously about traffic rates in the "Post-Golden Age." It seems this forum is the more visited, and your Horten is THE "Cadillac" project for our hobby right n...

Final Development Parts Catalog: http://gregburch.net/I-01-Parts-008.jpg This image represents a fairly significant personal milestone on this project. One of the things I've been telling myself I'd do as I got close to real release of a kit for sale would be a complete renaming of all the parts in ...

. . . oops ... double post . . .

The Toys R Us in OKC Oklahoma is still stocked with almost all the 1/32 1/18th XD models and more every time i go up there i buy 1 or 2 i dont have i just got the flying tigers P-40 1/18th XD from there If that's true, you should be buying all you can get your hands on and going into business. You ...

I am thinking of posting pics for the directions. I am trying to use the Dragon's directions to fit my needs but it is not working out. So I am thinking of posting pics as directions. Let us see how that works out and if it does not I will make directions on paper. Are you guys OK with this ? Putti...

Getting there: http://gregburch.net/I-01-Expl002.jpg I'm getting close enough to the conclusion that I have a true "release for sale" version that I've begun the first steps of working on the graphics that will go into the final kit instructions. The exploded view above shows all the parts of what i...

Picked up a few at Target yesterday. Looks like just a repackage, although there may be one with a new torso/vest. At $5, couldn't resist.

U.S. only please. paypal or money order accepted. Will ship via UPS Ground, cost is $12 per plane, $8 for the Panther, $6 for the KingTiger. No trades at this time, just want to sell. thanks. S1 Ju-87 Stuka loose $40 BBI green Zero loose, no pilot $60 Fw190 Michaeliski loose $75 1/18 Panther tank B...

Search the Customs & Mods forum for posts by Nick Karatzides -- they are very picture-intensive, but you can learn a LOT from them; I know I have.

I heard a while back Tom Cruise was supposed to be cast for Flying Tigers. I had forgotten about the bit of news about the Flying Tigers movie in the works! Wouldn't it be great if it also came around next year? I'm no Tom Cruise fan . . . but a Flying tiger's movie will definitely make me forget a...

Just trying to put things in perspective

clever . . .

I applaud the patience and skill necessary for success on this 1/18 V-2 project. At this point, I think the "patience" has become something more akin to a mental illness. I am wondering if there is a practical, cost-effective manner to add the appearance of the thousands of rivets found on the real...
