Small Scale Military Headquarters

My best friend's sister's house was on the episode too Peachtree City, GA

Oh, lord, that Onwu fella was pretty funny. :lol: No effs are given' at this point regarding BadCat. The thread over at fighting118th is long gone, but boy, was that a complete ****show. I had bought several items from there before that whole ordeal went down, but not a dime after that. I mean, hone...

Only a $100 bucks.

Good God, it's like nobody gives a c**p about 1/18 stuff anymore . That last prototype listed sold for $50.

IMO, the scale is dead, if a prototype draws this little interest and sells for honestly chump change, yeah, we're done here.

Granch, I have the George Bush figure but used him as the basis of my Top Gun "Maverick", 1980's aviator since his body is very slim for a Bbi figure. No, his mask is a horrible fit and you know exactly the issue, his chin. I ended up popping off the Bush headsculpt and used the Hot Toys figure head...

Congrats on the F-15 pit. Always wanted one but never pulled the trigger. An absolutely beautiful piece to have in your collection. I collect 1/6 pilots and have an entire display to represent every decade of aviation. Yep, go with the Bbi pilot you won't be disappointed. I remember buying my first ...

Saw this on the 1/6 forums, see the first post in the link:

Anyone confirm this or heard rumblings?

Probably had to pay the Bong family serious dough for the license of it.

Then again, the JSI paint department might give Marge a mustache...because you know "it's part of the weathering process"

I still get a chuckle from the: "Spots are part of the weathering process" bit on Merit's site back in 2009 when showing the factory photos of the Spotcat being assembled in China. :lol: We can all laugh about it now, but man, that was a very heated time in 1:18 collecting and yeah, I poked the horn...

Really, REALLY, nice score Jay!

Hot water treatment is easy to do and should work just fine.

I'll be interested only if they fix #1 the helmet, #2 his shoes and #3 the price. That helmet is NOWHERE close in accuracy. It's like a mish-mash of an RAF helmet and the US A-11 flight Helmet. Those earphones are completely wrong in every way, shape or form. If you want to break into the realm of n...

$159..... Jesus christ...I'm glad I'm about done collecting 1/6 figures. Was hoping to see a more reasonable price considering this figure doesn't come with a whole lot of "stuff". Hell, look at the Soldier Story Airborne Normandy figure. That dude comes with an insane amount of gear for $20 cheaper...

Chris, These originally sold for $125-150 back in the early 2000's. At $430, that's not a bad deal but a bit on the high side. Most of these I've seen going for $400-500+ NIB as they are getting extremely rare and collectors are not parting ways with them. Is it NIB or loose? The 1/6 pilot/aviation ...

Wow...for the price point, that's a pretty big paint mistake. Not JSI-Spotcat levels of crapness, but a big boo boo nonetheless.

Freakin' hilarious Jnewboy! The "Downfall" videos never get old and I remember when it all started when FSX came out

Hey guys, Looking to part ways with my BBI 1/18 "Golden Dragons" Hornet. I bought this in 2009 while stationed in Iraq. It has been out on display in my man room for the past four years (non smoking). I got wrapped up into the "if you don't have a Hornet you ain't a real collector" frenzy when they ...

Incredible stuff Matt and Pat does some incredible commissions.

If I lived in N. Fulton, you'd have to send me an invite

See, now you're making me speed up my Nimitz build

Looks pretty good, shame they can't get pilots to put in these things.

I have a Tulip 109, splinter Stuka, 262, but don't know if I'll pick this one up. Still awaiting the Butcher Bird.

Heck, me too Tman. I have roughly two dozen 1/18 planes that I got during the end times (Walmart) age. My harder to find items such as the P-47 bubbletop, and Golden Dragon 1/18 were purchased from forum members. Still can't believe I have these beautiful, huge models hanging on my wall, with most b...

Agreed

I can't even get excited about doing the VF-41 squadron on my "Eagle Claw" Nimitz as the scheme is so "meh".

Would love to see a TopHatters, but then again, The Last Cat standing was a D.

Why not VF-41 Black Aces on the next Tomcat release. "Fast Eagle 102" or "Fast Eagle 107" would be an excellent choice. In 1981, 102 claimed the first Tomcat kill, quickly followed by 107 downing the 2nd. If memory is right, 107 & "Revlon" were a lost few years later. Yep DropTank is absolutely cor...

Heck,
I'm game for a Harrier. Actually a pretty cool choice if true. Compact size, lots of detail and "stuff" to attach to those wings.

Will wait to see if the price is right, but I'm pretty intrigued.

Yep.

"Well, seeing nobody is doing anything in 1/18, we'll keep our announcement under wraps due to the apparent competition from no one" Give me a break and make the damned announcement. If I'm excited, I may buy the product at an extremely inflated price point. But then again, hey JSI is pumping out re...

I leave this with you guys.

I consider myself lucky to be able to see them while they were still active. My sons think the Tomcat is the coolest thing on the planet.

I keed, I keed.
