Small Scale Military Headquarters

Great paint job!

Whats a good asking price for that Germany Marine F104 . No box , but excellent condition I looked on ebay and found a few boxed ones for sale for $140. Based on completed sales of the Tiger Meet and Smoke II, my guess would be $30 to $60 as a starting price w/ reasonable shipping. It is a really c...

I like some of the easy build 1:144 kits.

found these on ebay UK. Anyone heard of them? They're just over a dollar each. Available in 3's and as single figures too. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/COMBAT-FORCE-1-18-US-SOLDIER-ACTION-FIGURE-SET-9-MODELS-/160521511964?pt=UK_ToysGames_ActionFigures_ActionFigures_JN&hash=item255fd3e41c I bought one on e...

At even $49 is still a fair price. I picked up my first one at a WalMart for whatever the suggested retail price was .....

I counted myself lucky, though I had a pretty high bid on it. I've not seen as many of the S4 until lately.

We are treading in dangerous waters here ... visions of "Sid" from Toy Story are coming to mind.

There is always the talk of the dwindling supply of Panzer IV's for use with things like Pickelhaubes conversions. I have bought three of the 21st RC Panzer IV's off ebay this year, each of them being less than $50. One just sold tonight for $18.58 plus $9 shipping. Definitely qualifies as a bargai...

OK guys sick puppy time. 1. Axman Dark Ages - A heavy weight figure with ax ,mask and chopping block. If you wanted to simply make custom figures, a Star Wars Rancor Keeper with a custom made hood would be *perfect*. I'd rather see a Spanish Inquisitor 1/18 figure, which could be a red cloak on a h...

Bit of a grave dig, but PK, thanks for pointing the existence of these out. I picked one up and it works great.

They DO have Forces of Valor tanks, IFVs and paratroopers sometimes depending on your area. Right. :) The figures seem to show up more often. Look for them as "Assault Force" instead of "Bravo Team". Has anybody actually seen Bravo Team instead? I've seen TRU exclusives show up en mass at Target st...

The 21c Sherman's are better. However, when you field a Bravo team Sherman near a 21c it will give you visual variety. I was lucky and found my Shermans on sale. My guess is that if you could find one for under $25 you'd never regret it. If this helps, I like the Bravo team Tiger as well ... but aga...

I appreciate you guys clearing that up. I already liked the FAV, but like it as a LYT even more ... it feels more real. Now to decide if it should become the property of Advanced Idea Mechanics or Cobra?

Heck, I would think a real airline would love to have their scheme attached to something like that. It looks cool.

Im relativley new to 1:18 stuff, but who is JSI? Ive been trying to find the "shark mouth" Huey ever since I lost my original as a little kid and would really like a chance at another Others can better answer your question (and welcome to the forum), but JSI pretty much has been releasing (say for ...

I like the PTE line, with my favorites being: 1) The Towers (same reasons as JJ listed) 2) Little Bird (sturdy and nice looking) 3) Humvee w/ Cloth Cover (sturdy and great for carting around any sized figs) I'm not a fan of the SU tank, but no worries. All my 21c aircraft and simply use it for targe...

I'd buy an affordable Komet.

I bought a HQ in Dixon, CA today. So these are spreading out.

snake wrote:Have to agree with Aferg.

JSI should stop attempting to weather these F-14's. They just screw it up.

Better than the spots, but still bad.

I actually like 'em.

Agreed. Why take 2 steps backwards ?? http://www.js-int.net/products_century_solider.html I ordered two of them on ebay to see what they look like. I am hoping that their paint jobs will be different enough *and* that they have stands with peg holes. Now that said, I too like the more recent 21c fi...

I'd actually like to see some 1:18 US sailors, including Great White Fleet (pre-WWI) era. I think an officer or two plus a few variants of enlisted would be cool. If somebody like BBI was to make a few WWI figures, I'd get them. I'd still like to see other non-US, German, or Japanese WWII figures. I...

I was about to mention the possibility of shill bidding. I have personally encountered what I think is shill bidding quite a bit lately. I will bid on an item and then lose out by a very small amount just as the auction ends. Then I will receive an email from the seller saying, "Good News, you have...

I know ... wouldn't it be great to see another run of BBI F-16s?

Thanks! I'll keep my eyes open for it the next time I watch the film.

I've had the problem as well ... but if I make the guys run, I can get their COG over the stands.
