Small Scale Military Headquarters

Great advice PH, thanks.

can you recommend a good brand of scotch tape? That seems to be the best way to go.

that's interesting......i was thinking of using little bits of stickers. I remember years ago when the Chap Mei C-130 came out it had no windows and was made of a type of plastic that nothing glues to. I saw a video where the guy cut clear plastic for the windows and held it in with bits of the stic...

thanks for the advice. Sounds pretty tricky. I'm starting to wonder if i can learn to live without putting in clear plastic.

What about the windshield?

It's a decent model but doesn't have any clear plastic for windows. I want to add them. I can make the clear plastic windows out of thin clear plastic sheet. The problem i'm having is how to glue them. Krazy glue fogs the clear plastic and white glue isn't strong enough and takes way too long to dry...

yes it was. Still not a peep from Ebay about what happened; not even a 'gee, sorry about the delay'. If we hadn't made the big stink that we did Ebay probably would never have paid us.

The situation has now been resolved. At least for now. All those missing their Feb 4 payouts from Ebay.ca received them yesterday, after putting much pressure on Ebay management. Ebay has to date offered no explanation or apology.

On Feb 4 a group of Canadian based Ebay sellers did not have their Managed Payments payouts deposited into their bank accounts, as was scheduled. At first it seemed like a minor issue but it was not. The sellers who are out their Feb 4 money, still have not received it and Ebay is refusing to commen...

A beautiful looking SR-71. Stated scale is 1/17 but it's actually about 1/17.6, nearly bang on 1/18.

Come to papa...

That's interesting. So what does he do, buy it himself with another ID? That would be pretty easy to trace by authorities. Ebay sellers, indeed all online sellers, are nowhere near as anonymous as they used to be.

it's cute when sellers say they have a 'no return policy'. Ebay will force a refund to the buyer whether the buyer returns the item or not. Personally, i'd rather have the item back.

And he's selling it 'as is'......for $13 grand. Is this April Fools come early?

XFly Su-57 Felon. Decent camo colours and application of digital paint scheme. Smallish though, about 1/20.5.....about the size of a 1/18 F-18. https://www.amazon.ca/XFLY-MODEL-Aircraft-Transmitter-Receiver-Included/dp/B0DG8WLVQK I have to say, Xfly has made some really nice aircraft. Well proportio...

Here is something a little different. An Air Tractor agricultural plane ie crop duster. Almost 18 inches long, nearly a 28 inch span. Decent replica....spinner could be a bit longer and pointier and wheels are a bit too big but not bad. Would work best as an AT-302 or an AT-400, which are the smalle...

It's the Endgame style Hulkbuster i believe. Stands 7 inches tall. Looks pretty good. Anyone know who makes it or any details about it? There all over the place on Ebay, all from China based sellers. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/166986369388?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110018%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.CO...

Throwing this out there for anyone that may be unaware of it. I stumbled upon this today. A 17 inch tall "Big Boss" gorilla figure by Lanard. Pretty decent sculpt and articulation. It's 1/18 scale for the 2005 King Kong which was 25 feet tall. If you're looking for a T-rex (or should i say V-rex) fo...

ok i think i figured it out. It is part of Joytoy's Hardcore Coldplay line.....which, according to Joytoy is a bold reinterpretation of the iconic band. ???? Anyway, i think it's a sort of realistic, GI Joe like line created by Joytoy. The Cyclone is a pretty good size at 16 inches long and could be...

By Joytoy. Not sure what to make of it. Looks like it could be a real vehicle but i can't find any pics of the real thing, if it is. At first i thought it was to go with one of their in house sci fi toy lines but it doesn't seem to. Interesting nonetheless. https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/Var...

An interesting find for anyone so inclined. Can't vouch for the scale accuracy but looks reasonable. Pricey but will probably be mostly metal and fairly heavy. Interesting weapon i hadn't heard of before. With some hunting you may be able to find it cheaper somewhere. If anyone buys it please post p...

Cotsworld has a bunch of these in stock. They've sold 6 on Ebay so far, have another liste4d plus have it listed on their site. So perhaps they are becoming more available? I didn't buy one because shipping to Canada is ginormous, but if they are becoming more available hopefully in time i can find ...

maybe it's a problem with his computer or device? If he has an alternative he could try connecting to the forum with that.

if they are like other Hiya figures they will be noticeably taller. Hiya 4 inch figures are usually about 4.2 inches tall.

Thanks for the info, makes it an easy choice to get the black one.

https://fivediecast.com/product/mcg-1-18-mercedes-g4-w31-1938-2/ Just released but i don't think it is specifically supposed to be Hitler's, just a convenient colour choice. ;) There is also an all black version available but i don't think Hitler rode in an all black one ever, did he? The black one ...

Ok hold on. There are 2 models of this truck on Ebay. One is 1/18 and the other is 1/24.
So check carefully if thinking of buying. Shop around and make offers to find best price you can.
