Small Scale Military Headquarters

Thanks for the info....... I may try to make that one.

Lets just not go there for 1/18. MMMMMMm, the New Jersey in 1/18 would be........ oh, never mind.. , my head hurts again... I gotta take a nap... :lol: TTT Just so you'll have something to dream about while you nap....... the USS New Jersey in 1/18 scale would be 49' 3 1/2" long. Completely doable....

Ooooo........ sounds good. Can't wait for the next episode!

Quick question......... this contest is for construction of a new 1/18 scale boat, sub, or patrol craft, not for a diorama, correct?

Just want to make sure I'm on the same page.

-Rob

Outstanding work as always Red! I always look forward to what you may conjure up next.

Dare I ask what their new orders were? Some of those troops look pretty PO'ed!

'Till your next custom creation..........

-Rob

Hmmmm......boats? 'Ol SARDOG may have to get in on this one.

-Rob

I'll take a Tempest, with an IL-2 Stormovic, and a side of P-39 Airacobra please......

-Rob

A great big THANK YOU to der Vogelfänger for yet another smooth transaction. As always, everything was well packed and shipped lightning fast. Jim even threw in a few extra goodies to boot! You couldn't ask for a better fellow to deal with....HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

But I am cutting styrene as it goes along. Hope to get a new top on the turret tonight Da General

Better keep a good eye on that X-Acto blade, and not so much on the game.

Lookin' good so far.

GeneralB..: Very neat idea. You really don't have to go crazy with dimensions....they are close. Width (mid track to mid track) M-24 96" M-41 107" length M-24 196" M-41 221" What is the difference scaled down to 1/18? Nice work. TTT Just a quick calculation here, but by my figures, the M-24 in 1/18...

Yep, mine came in the box with my Ridge Runner P-51 almost two years ago. Now its on my fridge.

Yeah, at the rate I finish my hobby related projects, that would be about right.

Did a little research........ as aferg mentioned, these were in fact built by a modeler in Malaysia. They do however have scribed panel lines and are fairly well detailed. Certainly not up to HPH standards, but impressive nonetheless. Believe it or not, the guy photocopies 3 view drawings and blows ...

Rob has been at it again, yet another product of his maaaaad laboratory ..........

Could these be a couple of those HPH, high $, museum quality birds?

Both of these planes are AWESOME, but that SU-27 unreal. bbi, 21C and Admiral, take note.

Very true....... I would hate to be the fella who bought it, especially after that trip to Target.

This cat is pretty bold. Amazing.

Yeah, I'm really stoked about the new Hornet and Viper schemes too. I will without a doubt add these to my collection. I too am a huge fan of these planes, with 7 F/A-18C's(3 Golden Dragons, 1 Marauders, 2 Blue Angels, and 1 Red Devils) and 2 F-16's(1 Texas ANG and 1 Virginia ANG in the works). Keep...

i got a question. would i be able to take apart a BBi Abrams for any custom paint job? say take it apart and paint some weathering effect? Yes, quite easily. I disassembled one of mine a while back to add a little weathering and a few coats of ultra flat clear. A couple hours of work, a little pain...

But its not 1/18 scale...............

Just Kidding! Nice find, please do keep us posted on the progress of your new toy, and have fun!

-Rob

I agree, an M270 would be very cool in 1/18. A M142 HIMARS would be nice too. I think that is another one FOV already produces in 1/32, no?

How about an AAVP7? The list goes on.....

-Rob

My R/C USCG 47' MLB is 1/18 scale, well, 1/18.5 to be exact. I am working on a crew for her now, then will detail her a bit further in the future. The bad thing about detailing an operating model is that the finer details tend to take a beating while running the model, thus there has to be a comprom...
