I know some members might not like that because of certain business interests they are involved in. I see different scales of airplanes discussed here that are not 1/18. I am not into RC but am into large scale armor and the simple fact is that there is nothing new out there in 1/18 and doesn't appear to be any on the horizon. If I get the impression from members or hear from the moderator that any discussion of 1/16 armor should be strictly prohibited then I will abide by it. When some new 1/18 is released, and I mean new not just a repaint, I will buy it. In the meantime, I can't see sitting around waiting for one new piece of armor every six months to come out ot 21st or FOV and have to leave this enjoyable forum because all of the new armor that is available is just slightly larger than 1/18.
Well you are right. I have sold countless things to board members. I have made some money there is no doubt. BUT EVERYTHING I HAVE SOLD HAS BEEN AT A DISCOUNTED RATE SO GUYS CAN AFFORD IT. Some of the things I have sold and LOST MONEY and I wonder why I even did it.
I think I even sold a piece to you Hot Rod.
I made my statement in jest. I have several 1/16 pieces of armor . 3 FOV KT's and 1 Tiger one with a T-34 thrown in. That is close to or over $1600. So I like 1/16 scale as well and spending this kind of money proves it.
IF THERE IS ANYBODY WHO OBJECTS TO ME COMING UP WITH NEW 1/18 SCALE PIECES AND SELLING THEM THROUGH THIS BOARD LET ME KNOW. I WILL STOP NOW AND SELL MY STUFF THROUGH E-BAY AND CHARGE A FULL RETAIL PRICE.
I am a avid collector of 1/18 scale . There is nothing being made so I thought it would be natural to sell some of my creations on this forum. If there are any objections to me doing this let me know and I will stop.
