Small Scale Military Headquarters

Any chance that if the molds are sold off, maybe one of their competitors bought them? Perhaps Admiral or BBI bought them for pennies on the dollar? I know if I was one of those companies, I would be looking into buying the molds.

This news is just really disappointing and frustrating. I knew it was coming, but it still hurts. From a personal standpoint, its one thing to leave a hobby because you've grown tired of it, lost interest, or found something else, but when a hobby that you are still interested in dies out from under...

Really great looking custom. The splinter camo really makes the F-104 look different. As for the liberty taken with the wing tanks, I like it. I did something similar on one of my F-104 repaints. I painted them red with blue and white fins to match the Canadian insignia on the wing. http://img25.ima...

Contact board member Jackson. He makes custom 1:18 decals and can probably help you out

Really nice job. I like it alot. It's always cool to see post-WW2 markings for Mustangs.

Finished a deal with MG-42 recently. Everything went smoothly and I hope he enjoys his new plane.

The gunsight on 21C's Mustang is painted silver.

Sorry, double post

I'll stay with 1/18 as my collection is pretty big, but I have to admit that the thrill is fading. I really enjoyed the height of XD when WM carried stuff and you could look forward to several new releases a year, plus clearance bargain hunting increased the thrill. Now with word that 21C is down an...

Here's a few more of my Corsairs and ME262s <a target='_blank' href='http://img14.imageshack.us/my.php?image=xdcollection509.jpg'><img src='http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/5038/xdcollection509.th.jpg' border='0'><br> <a target='_blank' href='http://img16.imageshack.us/my.php?image=xdcollection523.j...

The weather was very nice here today, so I took some photos of my Lightnings. These are what I have out of the box. I've got a Putt Putt Maru and California Cutie still in the box buried in my closet. http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/3986/xdcollection492i.th.jpg <a target='_blank' href='http://img13...

Can't wait. I always look forward to your customs.

You should be fine, I've done many repaints of my 1/18 aircraft using testors spray paint and they have all turned out fine. I think you get that semi-dry tacky effect when you try to use enamel based paints on the softer plastic of the figures. The vehicles and the figures use different types of pl...

I believe VulgerVulture is correct here. I got mine from Bad Cat. As I recall, I had it preordered and then it's release date was pushed back by several months.

You got me there for a second. I don't think I could afford the shipping on it.

My guess regarding the current Yellow 7 run is that a lot of people were not overly thrilled with the Yellow 7 paint scheme and were waiting on the sidelines to see what the series two paint scheme would be before making a final purchase decision on a relatively expensive bird. But, as it now appea...

I decided to let my Mustangs out again since the weather was nice. I was actually going to put all of my unboxed XD plane collection out for a group photo, but I totally underestimated how much time it would take. So I only got the Mustangs out with enough daylight left for some photos. Enjoy. http:...

I have pretty much stopped buying anything until the Monkey Depot sale. The last time I bought anything was in October of '08. So I really haven't spent much or traded much in the last year.

You can just barely see the nose of mine buried under and behind the F-104s, Corsair, P-47s, P-51s, and the ME-262.

Thank goodness. Somebody finally got a clue as to how ridiculous this act is. Hopefully, it will never be implemented and just fade away.

Mikeg, I know exaclty how you feel about 1/18 scale stuff right now. I'm in the same boat. I just don't have the passion right now that I had for this stuff a few years ago. For me, I think it is because right now the hobby is just stale. There is really very little new stuff out and almost nothing ...

I'd sell just about all of my planes, especially since I'm getting a $1000 per plane (16 P-51s = $16000, right). That would be about $90,000. I could pay off my house and buy a new car. So, yeah, it would definitely be worth it to me. Besides, XD is not my first passion (blasphemy, I know), I really...

Hmmm... Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

LOL. Thanks Homer.

Tman,
Apparently, my hallucination is holding up three other planes (yes, there is a 3rd one, an Admiral ME 262, behind the 109).
