Small Scale Military Headquarters

Welcome to the forum! Unfotunately you probably want to grab all the XD you can as it is drying up fast...

Where are you from in WA jkinzel? It is good to see another member from the GNW!

A tip when buying: the model kit version of the Chaffee has a photo of a Korean war tank with the gaping sharp tooth mouth scheme. This was never released and all model versions have the "waterstain" paintscheme Tman and OK are talking about. This is not my favorite scheme and the Chaffee is not my ...

Steelbonnet had one of those chap mei weasels. It's pretty close to scale. A bit small but nothing too bad, so that was a good find. Chap mei and power team may be our only sources for new military vehicles for a while, until someone else comes along to fill the void. Thanks for the heads up. Those...

Worst comes to worse there will always be figures and more toylike tanks and planes to modify. At Big Lots this weekend I picked up this very crappy 3 3/4" Cops and Villains line set for $8 because it had a police tank done on what is a copy of the old Bundeswehr Wiesel AFV. I have no idea how far o...

Darn it! I don't need another LAV. And recycled heads bite.

I didn't go as ape at the Monkey as some of you did:

2 88MM
Avenger
ME-262
3 SS sets
M-48
2 F-104s
10 various 1/32 pieces
6 1/48 pieces
various 1/72 pieces including the FOV SU-122 I never got

Hell no! Are you crazy? That is evidence! Much like a murder weapon I drive way out in the country to bury all those boxes. The worst is the ones with ''BCA'' emblazoned on the side. I would rather be caught with lipstick on my face than packing peanut crumbs... what does your wife say if you get c...

Ship enough of them, so he can build a house to live in, when the wife throws him out!

Not funny! OK, it is until I get caught...
Has anyone else ever been put on XD restriction? I fear she is serious this time.

Now this is the kind of thread I like to see. Anyone else think to snap a pic of their MD loot? Hell no! Are you crazy? That is evidence!

Bad news: wife has extracted a promise of no new XD from me.
Good news: last two MD boxes arrived today!
Bad news: wife didn't know about this last pre-promise purhcase.

I think if I had to do it all over again I'd collect 1/72. There seems to be endless choices and manufacturers and armor as well as planes take up much less room. I recently pulled all the 1/72 buys I had made over the last year and added it to my small 1/72 display; I have maybe 20 planes and 30 t...

How about a Stuka Zu Fuss or a Pioneerwagen?

(ducking for cover now!)

I'll vouch for Harley too. He is pretty laid back so if you want your deal completed ASAP he may not be the best to deal with, but if you have worked out the particulars with him I gurantee he will come through for you.

Good thing I like planes. :lol: You have to admit though there is a lot of 1:32 armor out there already, and I think FOV is going to be around for a while yet. "Why can't we just get along" and have standard across the board scales beyond 1/48 to please everyone. That includes train scales as well....

Damned Dreaded Double Posts...

Thanks for the pics Zhukov. These look great but I think I will wait until they hit stateside.

Not 21C quality but we can't be picky these days, can we?

Off-site storage, Olifant - just load up the car and tell her you found a buyer for a bunch of the older stuff! Next thing you know, it's safe in a sealed storage building and she thinks you are cutting back :twisted: that is sheer brilliance fiero dude! downside is I get caught every time in the e...

I started with 21C in 1/32 and have since moved towards a 1/18 focus but still keep up on the little guys.

What does it say for us here that barely anything has been said about the MD feeding frenzy while the 1/18 forum has been all abuzz. Is this smaller scale nothing but a side show for us here?

I now have my third shipment on the way. Those b@st@rds at MD really know how to milk me dry. Add something new every week. And there isn't any sense in buying just one item on each order, right?!? I think I am out of business though. Mrs. 'fant exacted a promise from me that I would not buy any mor...

No sir! I do wonder if other e-tailers are making their buys right now. I wonder if the high shipping is a way to ensure that they don't do that...

We will know if the PR section grows dramatically in the next month.

1/18 SS sets. 16 figures $150 each
1/18 Panther S4. $180 each
1/18 88MM DAK $237.88

Tambo, there is only one thing left to do. Order thrice. Think of it as patriotism helping to stimulate the economy...

Lets be honest guys, with 21C gone the 1/18 military market is gutted. Not eliminated, but gutted. We can still count on BBI for a handful of figures and a new AC once year, AT seems to want to hold on tight and Unimax may expand, but most of what is in my collection is by 21C. Thank God I have been...
