Small Scale Military Headquarters

Another eBay seller but now from Indiana is following suit with Michael Wittmann tank https://www.ebay.com/itm/295651170327?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D279455%26meid%3D218a617d75c34b338068e91129e15e80%26pid%3D101875%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D2671...

That Kubel looks great, Matthew, fanstastic job as usual!

Great job Pickel!

Looks awesome!

Looks great Normandy, thanks for sharing!

I love your displays!

This is a custom project I did many years ago...but I never liked the finished look of it. Last month I ordered some Battleground Models "Panther Tank Track Links-Full Set" and gave the old panther a new paint scheme and some added details. This tank destroyer never existed, only on paper...but wha...

I wish they made the King Tiger in 1:18 and in plastic. Their Tiger I was a decent piece and with Grunt 1's Battleground Models aftermarket road wheels, cupola, pistol ports, air filters you could change it to an early version. Glad to hear they're bring the King Tiger back but I don't collect 1:16...

No problem John, Matthew bumped up the thread.

Thanks anyway!

Thanks Matthew!

Heya Normandy.....good to see some of the original members are still here. Almost 17 years now.....more if we go back to Groundpounder's board which predated me. I joined it in late 2000, several months after GP started it. I remember you from that old forum. Groundpounder was a great guy, I'm sure...

What is the purpose of the dark "rectangular square" beside decal number "6" ?

It says "STEP"

Not sure but I think that's where the gunner puts his foot and climbs to reach the cockpit

Great job Folkwulfe!!!

That is an awesome plane, thanks for sharing!

M8 Greyhound would be great...if you could find one of these,
it would be a start.

Great tip Normandy, thanks!

I didn't know about it . Needs a lot of work but it's a start

You know I'm in for another King Tiger! I just noticed the Ostwind...I'll take one! Must have...I wouldn't go that far but I'd like to see a Panzer III in 1:18. :) Things are looking good Matthew. :salute: Yeah Normandy I agree to that, I don't want to go that far either but it would be great to se...

Some more Joy Toy 1/18 figures This one I don't know what it is, German Fallschirmjäeger or US Airborne paratrooper. Or a combination of both. https://i.imgur.com/qnpMHkL.jpg 2 US infantry https://i.imgur.com/q0fdzwB.jpg On this prototype, looks like it will be an SS but I am not sure if he's wearin...

These 1/18 Joy Toy figures look great

Matt changed my kit a lot, and I have no problem with him copying and selling his version. Matt it is just Sanford though got to drop the t lol.

Matt changed your kit and changed your name too

Great job, Normandy¡

Yeah, I see the difference, thanks Normandy

tbey will look great after a little customizing

You may be right Eddy,but they do remind me of the Forces of Valor 1:18 WWII US figures. http://www.themotorpool.net/v/vspfiles/photos/UNI73200-2.jpg The American Diorama figures will work for what I need, paint over any beards and replace their weapons with 1:18 scale. and why would you need MP's?...

Those figures look to me more like in the 50's era than in the 40's

Hey guys, is it just my computer or all the Pickel's pictures from this tutorial are gone now?

Hope it's just me, it will be very sad to lose this great tutorial for this forum.

Oh ok, I see it now, thanks!

Hello Pickel Something that caught my eye is that in many kits and pictures of real King Tigers as well that I've seen, the right side vision cover is oriented in a different angle than the one on the left side but in your kit both are oriented to the front. These covers could rotate or is this just...

The update looks great, thanks!

Kubel's windshield and rearview mirrors.

One piece that is prone to break easily is the canvas top of that Willys Jeep, think the brand is Solido

May be that Indy' s Horch troop transport could use doors and some other stuff to make it look less toyish
