Small Scale Military Headquarters

Good luck finding anything at a decent price anymore!! That's even if you can find it. Then there's shipping.....

That Heinkel is a masterpiece. The nose area of that kit was more than I wanted to tangle. Seems you handled it with ease!

NK*K and ZP*A have it. Since they are just repaints, the canopies would be the same mold like the rest of the plane. Likely the other 2 variants have it.

Same here. Never noticed until now. I've seen worse canopy flaws on 1/18 planes.

Been a couple of rough years. Wishing everyone a joyous Christmas and safe and healthy new Year. I've moved close to my Museum and downsized to a very small house. I liquidated most of my 1/18 and some 1/6 with the incredible help of local friend Mark, we all know as Razor17019. Can barely fit what ...

Our benefactor host, Britt, presents, maintains and finances this site out of his own pocket. I'm not that tech savvy but I believe using links saves a great many GB's of memory for a server to maintain. If I've posted pictures in the hundreds, surely there are thousands on here. I would think bigge...

You need an online photo hosting service like Imgur. We can't post pictures direct to this forum. They must go through a link. Go to imgur.com and sign up for free. Post photos there kinda like you would attach to an e-mail. Then from your album, select pictures and then click on the link for forums...

Canopy masks aren't cheating, they're working smart. I would have used them too but even the mask looked too intimidating!

Fantastic! I had one of those kits but sold it. I was intimidated by the amount of canopy framing that was going to have to be painted inside and out. I'm at a point where I no longer have the patience or skills to do major canopy frames. I like the big scale but the amount of detail needed to creat...

Amazing as usual!

I have only seen one. It was many years ago and it was in the possession of Isaiah at the Military Toy Shop in Dayton, OH. If it's still in his possession it would likely not be easy to acquire. And, it's just a fuselage part and doesn't cover changes to the wing or any of the more subtle differences.

This recent post has me asking the question: Collect or use and display? http://www.warbird-photos.com/gpxd/viewtopic.php?f=3&p=341158#p341158 These items offered don't lend themselves to being hung from the ceiling, kitbashed or added to a diorama. There are scale model enthusiasts who collect kits...

It is. The "Talon" is the T-38.

I've seen smaller bbi pilots too.

My head is spinning going through these figures. Sorted out the extra body parts German or U.S. (I think) Also came across a Hobbit sized tank figure that's got me puzzled. Did they just make some smaller to fit in the turrets? The guy on right is normal sized with foot soldiers. https://i.imgur.com...

I've bounced around too. Being an airplane guy, it was the 1/18 planes at first. Dabbled in 1/32 for the variety. Started to learn more and appreciate ground pounder vehicles thanks to this site. Like many, I started out picking up everything I could find at flea markets, yard sales, Craigslist, Goo...

Thanks!

I have a baggy full of arms and hands and a few legs. I'll check in there.

Dang Tman with your knowledge of 21st figures and other lines, you and Zack (TKO) could do a book on the history of 21st century toys 1:18. :) Some nice figures Axis. I figured one of you two would probably solve my mystery. I've learned a ton from both of you. Gonna go through some more and see if...

Axis, the German soldier and the horse are both from the 2008 Hasbro Indiana Jones figure line. The German went with a motorcycle while the horse had an Indiana Jones figure. In the next couple pictures, it appears you have a first series 21st Century Toys XD German figure body with a head from the...

:?: OK experts, please help me out here. Sorting through the years of accumulation in preparing to thin the herd. Most of what I have is lose and may or may not be arranged with how it came in the package. First is this German on a horse combo. It appears to be the Indy motorcycle driver on the hors...

The rock formations that make up part of the castle wall are decent sculpts but the monotone color wasn't realistic for rocks so I used multiple colors to give it different tones like real rocks normally have. I'm having fun with this stuff.

I don't know if people have seen the pricing for the WWII figures but I hope it's not $25 per. I just ordered the new JoyToy Delta Force set and each guy came in under $20. Not cheap but just a few bucks more than some pretty simplistic mass-market figures out now (I'm looking at you TVC). It was a...

Some years back when I was going to do a scene with my Schleich knights and a castle I was building, I bought several of these skeleton figures to make a skeleton warrior attack like the famous scenes in "Jason and the Argonauts". I recall them being less than $10 and got a few odd colored ones whic...

Get 'em now. Prices are only gonna go up if dealers buy them in mass quantities only to try and make a resale killing after they're allegedly hard to find. We're seeing it now, whether the "rare" descriptions are real or hype. Even the old stuff on eBay is stupid high.

eBayers are going for the gold on Marauder figures. :shock: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Marauder-Task-Force-WWII-German-Panzer-Grenadier-green-camo-figure-1-18-4/233666980851?hash=item3667a32bf3:g:ysYAAOSwhkNerNOt https://www.ebay.com/itm/Marauder-Task-Force-WWII-Kickstarter-Exclusive-German-Panzer-Gre...
