Small Scale Military Headquarters

I'd love for FOV to take the hull of the 38t and release the 140/1 on it next:




It's always been a favorite of mine - it just looks cool!

I have a sweet spot for the 222 that goes back to when 21st Century released their original 1:32 version.

iirc, I think it was originally done as part of an advertisement for the Cromwell kit. There's plenty of photoshop stuff out there that was done for more underhanded reasons.

Wow, look at those exhaust covers, very nice detail. I embedded a youtube video on my blog, it was an evalauation of the type 95 by the allies. Don't think I can embed it here due to no HTML functionality, but I can link to it. Obviously I don't claim any credit for originally uploading the video. ...

according to 2 books i have 18 were built and several where used on the western front i show several pictures of one destroyed and 2 captured examples Yes, they were defintely deployed to the western front, but the question remains what did they do there? All of the allied reports of them are of fi...

I think we can agree its a nice model though? Supposedly one of these things knocked out 3 Shermans with one round late in the war! ( http://www.achtungpanzer.com/sturmtiger-sturmpanzer-vi.htm ) Thanks for posting that! Like I said, I'd never been able to find any actual report of their use in comb...

actually the '44 uprising was by the polish home army, the Jews played a relatively small part; mostly because there weren't many left by then. The Jewish uprising in Warsaw was in '43. All Sturmtigers built were used in combat, just not in their intended roles (except for the 2 used during the War...

How about a freaking 3-tone camo Pz IV lang? Where's the Sturmpanzer that's been promised since right after the first Tiger was released? Really? Another Sturmtiger? Germany only built 12! And only a couple of them actually fired a shot in anger...by slaughtering Jews in Warsaw!

Ugh.

That M5 looks pretty nice, much better than the Corgi Fighting Machines M3s I have now.

It looks separate, which makes it kind of bizarre to me that it doesn't rotate.

Is it glued down? Molded to the superstructure? I would only consider getting this if there is a solution that would allow the turret to rotate. If not, I'm waiting for HM!

Does the turret rotate? Can you see anyway you could make it rotate if it doesn't?

Typical Chinese deal. "What're you going to do, sue us?"

I've played a lot of different games, most recently Blitzkrieg Commander II in 1/72, and FOV in 1/144 scale. FOW looks and plays a lot better with smaller miniatures with the rules as-is, in my opinion. The table is less crowded and tanks have better spacing.

I wargame with 1/72 models and figures, and the Pz IV was smaller than my CDC, Dragon, and FOV 1/72 models, so I didn't use them. If you *exclusively* use the corgi models, then they would probably work okay. But next to true 1/72 models they are too small and stand out.

It is about 1:76. It is NOT 1:72, it's definitely smaller than that.

I used to collect these - the little "fighting machines" that sold for under $5. About 1:72 - M8 greyhound, M3 Stuart, M3 halftrack, Scimitar About 1:76 - Pz IV, Sherman, T-34 About 1:87 - Tiger I, M-48 This is from memory. There was a Churchill and King Tiger as well, they were both on the smaller ...

I really hope dragon will do a short barrelled 75mm gun on the sdkfz 251 halftrack. I think that dragon has done almost every variation of the sdkfz 251 series, besides the short barrelled 75 mm gun. No doubt! I LOVE the fact that they are finally doing the 251/22, but a 251/9 'stummel' would be aw...

The Bedford excites me, but the paint scheme looks toyish. Does the 6pdr's trail split so you can deploy it? Although I totally repaint mine, a simple wash and dry brush on these will improve their apperance a lot. As for the 6 ponder it is not "glued" to the Bedford but it can't be set on a deploy...

The Bedford excites me, but the paint scheme looks toyish. Does the 6pdr's trail split so you can deploy it?

so what armor are they planning to release?

The funny thing is, the Sturmpanzer was one of their first announced releases after the Tiger back in the day.

Thanks for posting...really excited about the 251/22.

The 2.5 ton truck has the worst paint scheme of all time.

I'd go for something like this. A wargames company recently put out I think four 2x2 foot sections that you can put together to make a nice base. I think the cost was like $50 per section, which was too high for me.
