Small Scale Military Headquarters

No problems here in Ohio today.

That video shows how they are very 1/6 like in detail and accessories. If you ever consider moving up to 1/6 scale from 1/18, DON'T. If I had it to do over again I would consider these 1/12 offerings. They are a huge leap from the toy like and robot like exposed articulation of 1/18 along with out o...

I don't see any articulation points on the limbs, yet they show different arm poses. Are the limbs bendy? Really nice looking pieces. :?: Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought they have actual cloth uniforms on over the body which would cover the joints. :?: which was also why I thought they were s...

I'm getting the "Internal Server Error" and slowness again. It's not just you. Maybe it's our operating systems or ISP. Windows diagnostic blames everything on your ISP if it can't figure it out. Got an error message trying to post this morning (Sunday). And running at glacier speed. Everything els...

Requires permission to view topic. Too many sites like that are not guest user friendly. There are other sites I was interested in maybe participating in but you couldn't even view anything before signing up to see if it was worthwhile. One in particular I no longer recall the name but was about 1/...

Britt, She's definitely a keeper, as is that good looking Jeep! T-man, I too am now single and after several years of readjustment, have turned the house into my mini museum. 1/6 and then 1-1 are space killers and tolerant as my wife was, there's no way I could have military mannequins in the living...

My Wife passed away nearly 8 years ago. She was amazingly tolerant of my hobbies and encouraged my Museum work. There were times when I'd proudly show her my latest acquisition and she would just shake her head and walk away but in the end never had any outbursts. I helped her take care of her elder...

Modifying the GI Joe Jeep... In 2002, Hasbro came out with a 1941 slat grill Jeep that was heads and shoulders above their usual toy quality. It was better in several ways than the competition's 21st Century example and I believe Hasbro saw a need to meet or exceed this new on the scene challenger. ...

Well I still applaud his effort toward the general idea. These things don't always go right. At a recent model contest someone entered a Fokker Tri-Plane. They went to great lengths to run wires for X bracing from the fuselage area out to the struts on both the upper and middle and then the middle a...

Unfortunatelly they are all painted completely for the wrong planes ;-( Shit happens!! Kinda thought that too but was giving some space for artistic license. Didn't want to pile on and nitpick everything, like why the one train car appears to be on tank tracks instead of railroad tracks, but then I...

I saw it in a blink of an eye. Don't be too hard on him. I might make that kind of mistake with mixing up turrets or tracks on armor.

Hmmm...
Thanks. That's what I get for assuming "made in China" always meant "cheaper".

Getting a little off the topic but...... Just like farmers need cheap migrant workers, looks like the film industry is turning to cheaper production companies. I can remember when I was young, products made in Asia were considered cheap junk. In my youth "Made in Japan" was the poster child for chea...

Oh my! I'd say they got the wings mixed up!! The E wings are painted to go with the G and the G wings with the E.
A major #@!*# -up.

Like the idea though.

Good flick though, I just wish they had Wildcats and Hellcats. Bummer

Sorry, no Hellcats in 1942. Wildcats would have been nice as they were there for sure along with some Brewster Buffaloes.

Technology has allowed the detail of high quality 1/6 scale to be downsized for space purposes targeting customers just like you that want quality. If they look as good in person as in those pictures, they're amazing. Vehicles that scale are few and far between. If the figures catch on, vehicles wil...

War-Toys has the Damtoys one too.....

Whoa! Haven't looked at Monkey Depot in a while. They've really changed their assortment philosophy. Looks like they're going all high end stuff. They used to be heavy on 1/6 Dragon figures, vehicles and accessories. Now it's Soldier Story, DID and lots of fantasy and female figures with big time pr...

Have not seen those before. They are really good looking! 1/12 is often associated with fantasy figures, Lord of the Rings, Sci-fi like Predator, Alien, Star Trek, etc. Here's a tank to go with them..... https://www.ebay.com/itm/TIGER-1-ENGINE-RADIO-CONTROL-TANK-MITSUBOSHI-SYOTEN-1-12-CUSTOM-F-S-FRO...

The critics loved DUNKIRK. One even said it was probably the best war movie ever made. I think DUNKIRK is one of the worst war movies I've ever seen. Another example of how "critics" are often out of touch with what paying customers think. I would never decide to see or not see a film based on one ...

I'm wondering at what point major motion pictures will no longer be released on DVD and the rights picked up by streaming services like Netflix and Amazon. Or even only offered on thumb drives. :?: There always seems to be a quest to make things obsolete to force you to spend money on the next techn...

This is a classic case of how stupid critics are. Either you have a historically accurate film and true characters or you can have a fictional script. You can't have it both ways. Make up your mind. Maybe this clown liked the completely fictional "Pearl Harbor" better? If you compliment the director...
