Re: ChairmanMilo's Collection

Holy Lord....... That is one impressive collection you've accumulated! How long did it take you to acquire all those models? Wow! Wish I were you! I started collecting in February 2007, and stopped collecting 1:32 in mid-2008. I eventually sold all of my 1:32 and the last one was out the door in sp...

Re: photo of HM sdkfz.7

I'm glad I didn't order one of these.

Their 1:72 AFVs are great for the most part, but they seem to be getting skimpier on the fine details. I think I'll be buying less HM and more Dragon, if Dragon keeps up their pretty brisk release schedule. $35.00 bucks for this? No thanks :)

No, I sold a lot to my favourite retailer - Merritec - and at the Diecast Hangar Pub.

Re: ChairmanMilo's Collection

No, fellas, I still have ~200 1:72 tanks and over 500 aircraft in 1:48, 1:72, 1:200 and 1:400... I've sold over a hundred pieces this year so far due to lack of space and rationalization (sticking to what I usually collect). I still have way too much diecast, I just have slightly less :) ... and don...

Re: ChairmanMilo's Collection

After selling off quite a bit of my collection I found myself wanting to rotate what I have out on display a few weeks back. I only have three surfaces on which to display aircraft now - the tops of three shelves - and some space for armour in the book cases themselves, which are now loaded with boo...

Re: ChairmanMilo's Collection

Nice looking themed display's Chairman. 8) Like that you got the entire Harrier anniversary schemes. ROCAF is pretty well represented as well in your collection. I still don't have any Israeli schemes, and need to pick up that F-4 "Kurnass" at some point. Great looking scheme, and wish that a good ...

Re: New Dragon 1:72 M4A3 E8 HVSS Han River Limited Edition P

It doesn't say "Dragon Armor" on the turret roof. It is a casting number from the factory where it was built.

Both of the new Korean War Shermans have it, and the markings appear identical - I doubt they would re-tool for each new Sherman turret they need :)

Re: FOV 1/32 Normandy tiger (80004) review

I used to love these Tigers too - at one point I believe I had four of them and two of the King Tigers as well. I got out of 1:32 and sold the Normandy Tiger for a small mint. Those were very popular & sought-after a few years back. The Dragon Tiger Is might be slightly smaller in scale but they are...

Glad you like the new place Chairman. Must be tough to downsize, but looks like you are sticking with themes, in 1/72. Like the Coastal Command display. I have the Wellington, B-17, and B-24 in CC, and they are amongst my favourites. That Halifax looks very good, as well as the Blenheim. Thanks for...

I moved late last month into a slightly smaller but insanely superior apartment a few blocks north of where I was living before. The apartment I used to live in was built in the late '60s - early '70s and was not in very good repair at all. The pipes were not PVC and we had a water problem - not onl...

Wow, I forgot to post photos of my recent armour additions! I have been buying quite a bit of it lately, and I rotated a bunch of modern tanks out a few weeks ago to replace with World War 2 Soviet armour.

Re: ChairmanMilo's Collection

Its funny, but I've got several WWII aircraft reference books that show profiles of "Stinky" for their section on the A-26. Not sure why, but there must have been some popularity/fame behind the scheme and that led Hobbymaster to choose it for their first release. I will admit I'd have likely gone ...

Re: King & Country Eagle Squadron 1/30 Supermarine Spitfire

Surprisingly enough, I think this one looks pretty good!

I saw photos of the K&C Fw 190 in some recent magazines and it looked (to my eyes) terrible. I thought that their Spitfire would be equally terrible, but it would seem as though I am wrong. Those things must weigh a tonne.
