How about some advice from "the master" on customizing, repaints, weatherizing...I've noticed that 21st century tanks and vehicles come like new with no combat damage or weatherizing...compared to smaller scale FOV, etc...

I've always wanted to see a 91/30 mosin nagant rifle in 1:18 so I have to say russians ( with a t34 would be great!) also would like to see british paras with a glider! or 2nd rangers with higins landing craft!

Avenging Eagles by Ben Gear HQ/3 502 PIR Bobbing low and flying high Motors thunder through the sky Prop blasts over strut and wing Maddened demons howl and sing And out of this, we are set to fall With a handful of silk and God, that's all.

is anyone going to do a drop zone dio

finally spotted japanese at local WM , was able to get 5 out of 6 (all but hagashiyama) I hope we get the truck and some of the other things I havn't seen yet

I agree with zone they are no fun inside the box...

similar findings in my AO, 2 coed shermans, 2 us halftracks, 1 hanomag (that I had to get), 2 M41 walker bulldogs, 1 P40 warhawk in 1/32( that I also got) some 1/32 platsets and armor, but no 1:18 figures
I p[lan on going back for more

I've only really experimented with styrofoam and diorama stuff. I'm a flooring guy thts what I do (carpet and tile) and there is a material used for tile durock ( anyone herd of it) it is a concrete board and I have experimented with it in a dio also and it does look good as like a sidewalk I had a ...

I got into collecting xd a little late, about a year ago, and I was really stoked on paratroop figs, but they were rare and I ended up paying $8 to $10 each for those on ebay... with shipping. these are about $9.37 a figure without shipping! kinda high but i guess I'm used to it. P.S. about the PC c...

I think I would like them in my collection, but i'm kinda concerned a about the back order, when would i ever see them? I was wondering if I could do custom stuff to them like ss camo I dunno, wouldn't want to ruin 'em

I have used styrofoam on a diorama I had recently had to take down ( moving) a freind of mine took pics of it - if he emails them to me I will try to post them here- I cut out some door ways and made a 2 story blown out building and spray painted it, the spray paint I used acually melted the styrofo...

Ya know, the release of the movie Sahara on DVD is set for 8/30/05 do you suppose they will release the toys around then. one would think it might be likley

what I did with my jump ready fallshirjaeger was cut off all straps and harness molded on and re painted splinter camo to match my other combat ready troops, had an idea to just use a dragon fabric poncho but that didn't seem like it would look as good.

Do I see a mortar in the back ground if they still have thier chutes on why would they have a mortar position ready to rock

I asked area 21 if they all had to be bought at once here is the responce I got: Philip- They can be individual receipts. They do need to be purchased from Wal Mart and they do need to be dated between 6-1-05 up to 8-31-05! I wish you luck my friend the prizes are pretty cool. Especially the panel. ...

I'd say you be waiting 4 to 6 weeks after the contest ends (sept 30th) you would get it just before thanksgiving?!..who knows really

I would not want to kid you guys

Something new!!! 21st has anounced a new contest, buy as many fw 190 D9's as you can to free up wm shelves for new 1:18 stuff.
buy 4 fw's to win a exlusive mustang, what do you say guys?

don't forget the wonderfull things you can do with sculpey clay...anything from rocks sandbags brick walls,... pretty much anything

wow! awsome figures with mortars and heavy machine gun! its just what i always wanted i agree with 75th ranger too, a british sherman firefly would be cool. we would all be happy with any new armor.

there are some great photos of some "custom" stuff; marines w/ repaints (camo scheme looks awfull) and they have a pic of a panzer w/ zimeritt looking armor, among other things.
