Small Scale Military Headquarters

German with motorcycle huh?


Hmmm....

Thanks for the comments guys.

Unfortunately this only represents a small portion of my overall collection. The rest sits at my house. Mostly in storage bins. Makes me wish I'd settled on North Africa a lot sooner. I know my bank account wishes I had.

Well, they're both ostensibly North Africa. If all goes as planned, I'll have to put up one more shelf for two 88s. In the mean time, I need to get my mits on the 2-color M16 and some FOV US troops.

S-1 RC Panzer IV. It has since become my DAK Panzer IV Ausf G.

... for my 1/18 scale goods. No more languishing on the bottom two shelves of my fiancee's armoir.

So these US figures should fly for North Africa, no?

THANK YOU!!!!!


Finally!!! A piece I don't have to paint!!!!


Crap. Looks like I may have to pick up more than one while the DAK scheme is out.

I use 10lb test monofilament that I borrowed from my brother hung from cup hooks screwed into the drywall ceiling. The only thing I did differently with my Avenger was double the line. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/flpickupman/Small%20Scales/IMGP1265.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184...

Very well executed T-man.

That White 7 sure is purdy. I'd like to see that in 1/18.

Edit: In retrospect, I think I'll wait for the Woofer to release his road wheel kit. In addition to being constructed with the 21C Tiger in mind, the kit should contain the correct number of wheels.

Dang. I was afraid of that.

The Galland scheme should be a good seller.

I noticed that a photo of the upcoming 1/18 88 Flak Gun had a decidedly desert paint job. Be nice if there were some corroboration on Area 21. This would save me soooooo much grief not having to repaint it. (crossing fingers)

Serves 'em right for not checking the fuel gauge.

Here ya go bubba. Borrowed from MondayTanker.

Outstanding! Thank you.

I just requested a quote on the Italian Villa (should work for Tunisia). I'm interested to see what his prices are.


$45 for the Villa in 1/18. With my low volume needs, this strikes me as within reason. Nothing like personal laziness to increase the value of another's work.

The only photos that I have seen are on the back of the current FOV 1/18 offerings' (Abrams, Bradley) box. It shows an Early Production Tiger with molded in Zimmerit. I'm guessing they'll run the same price as the Bradley and Abrams. $30 if I'm not mistaken. In addition, I'm not sure how compatible ...

Could someone please post a couple of photos of the back of the box for either the Bradley or Abrams? Thanks.

Sounds good. If the wheels are less than the price of an FOV Tiger, I'm in.

Oooh! Would the list of offerings include a Feifel air cleaner system by itself?

Um... that is the Henschel turret. The Porsche turret is the one with the curve beneath the barrel.

Okey doke. Bondo it is. The one thing I'll give the Tamiya putty credit for is that adhesion is no problem. This stuff sticks to everything.

As for backing card, that's the first thing that gets installed.

Normally I'd be in agreement with you, but with the 88 coming, and my North Africa Tiger having returned from the storage bin, my shelf space is limited. I'd much rather be able to exchange one for another (although that is quite unlikely, and I'll probably end up with both). I will admit to not bei...
