Small Scale Military Headquarters

Search on ebay for "welly Jeep" and you will see theirs. Pretty good for the price point. They just release a dirty version with a driver. A lot of detail (right or wrong) for the money. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-4-TON-US-WILLYS-ARMY-JEEP-DIRTY-VERSION-WITH-FIGURE-1-18-BY-WELLY-18036A-/400473955257?...

Bad price!
That is the Welly Jeep that goes for $39 on eBay.
That seller is selling 1/18 Maisto Jeep Saharas for $99 and Sam's and Costco sell them for $12.

That hardly looks like Enzo and more like Rodney Dangerfield! "I gaet no respect, I tell you"

Also, is that Henry Ford or a turn of the century NY Jewish baker?

The ad states that it is 1:10 scale.

Their site must be overloaded as it is not loading for me, but I got an email from them. http://enews.exoto.com/20120425/TDT01801.JPG Here is the link to this vehicle: http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=82551721&msgid=1029185&act=935V&c=384652&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.exoto.com%2Fs%2F1%2F...

For what it's worth, I never meant to imply that the AA was bad, or that the Welly has the same level of detail. I have about 200 AutoArts in my 1/18 collection and they were great value for a while. They are overpriced now. The Welly will "correct" the pricing on the AA as many other diecast manufa...

Did the GIs get a giant Philip screw driver to remove the M1 out of the dash? and did they stop at Walmart to get a sealed battery?
Also were there shifter knobs OD or black?

Thank you for the correction

No prob! But I would not get either of them now and go with the Welly! Did you see the pictures of the Welly?

Sorry, but I don't see any difference between this and some other brands, except of course, the large price. Are they playing again with the term "diecast" to mean metal but is used interchangable with plastic. Which is it? TTT Exactly what I said above, why buy the $240 AutoArt when this is going ...

A bud from a diecast site posted these pictures of his. IMHO, it looks excellent and as good as the AutoArt for 1/6 the price once the US gets them. Check these ebay auction for more close up pics. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Willys-Jeep-1-4-TON-ARMY-TRUCK-model-green-new-in-box-18036W-diecast-1-18-WELL...

The Gate and the UT version are the same tooling, just different packaging. The new AutoArt Jeep is a new tooling and not an upgraded Gate/UT.

UT and AutoArt did not exist at the same time as brands of Gateway Global.

BTW, Welly is about to release their version of the Willys Jeep,

Great work!

Short Round and Elsa Schneider.

But wouldn't any American figure work? Just black-wash the teeth.

Sorry mods! it looks like old news! Yes there's discussion on another thread, but a quick follow up to your post acisne, I don't know what part of Houston your in, but I also have seen them around the N. Houston area. I recently bought 2 doz. and have seen them already restocked. Thats where I noti...

Sorry mods! it looks like old news! Don't visit the 1/32 forum much!

I stopped at several WMs yesterday and they were loaded with them for $7.98. Wish it was an 1/18!
There is not reference to the movie or to the Tuskegee Airmen on the packaging. It did have a tiny BBi logo on the back of the box.

Sunstar make a 1939 Horch 855 roadster that is well priced and detailed like models priced 2x-3x more:

Also, you can got to scale18.com and search "the huge list" by year to see what models are made each year.

I didn't know that Antonio Banderas and Dr. Phil got captured in WWII? Where they part of the French underground?
(actually Spy Kids 2 figures)

I used the same method on a broken prop that one of my 21c Avengers arrived with. Works very well. I need to get a new pin drill (now that I know what to call them). I had one for years until the bit broke... It was incredibly useful for all sorts of repair and custom projects. I got mine at Hobby ...

When I had mine on a wall, I used a MonkeyHook and a fishing line loop. Those hooks will hold 30-40lbs. You can find the pack of 30 or so at Target for $9.99.
Now mine are on the ceiling as the wall was taken by a diecast display.

Have you tried calling their 1-800-829-1520 number?

Glad to do what I can to keep the economy going

Leave one for me! And tell Jeff (owner) that A Cisne sent you!

Baking soda has mixed results. Sometimes it eats away paint - ask me how I know. :evil: Use woodland scenics Snow! GREAT STUFF! Use a respirator though, I hear it is not great to inhale before it has been fixed to the model. It is made of micro balls or something. I forgot. :P Since I used mine on ...
