Small Scale Military Headquarters

I wonder why 21st hasn't attempted any Boats or landing craft? It would be great to have a Higgins boat for a D-Day scene. Even a P-T boat would be cool. An invasion craft would probably be the most affordable ( to make ) just based on size. What do you think? And when are we going to see Artillery pieces, and mg crews or mortar crews? These elements are vital.

EVEN a PT boat?! It would be about 4 1/2 feet long....large indeed and probably out of the question given 21c's current frame of mind and strange fascination with their one size box.

It would be quite spectacular however...

There was that prototype for a Viet Nam PBR a couple years ago. Too bad one didn't feature prominently in "Platoon" to warrant its creation for the coming resurection of the 21c Viet Nam line.

I would like to see a Higgins boat (if however unlikely) as that would go well with the Marines, as well as the S1 troops.

Hey, I just thought of something cool, how about a PBR like in Apocalypse Now. Does anyone else agree. Maybe an R/C version could be made. (Heavy Sarcasm...) One day, Aferg someone will make it !!!

You know the nut that wants the zero made. Well, I am the nut that wants the PBR.....

Yeah, probably limited to the size box they use to ship. Maybe for the PT they could tape to stuart boxes together.

Midwest makes a turn key r/c PT boat, not sure of the scale but really sweet.

1/24 scale, it's nice.

Dumas made a 1/20 r/c kit of an Elco boat. Not great accuracy but not bad. You can find built up ones on Ebay from time to time...expect to pay $600+ for a decent one.

I picked up a RHIB (Rigid Hull Inflatable) from Power Team. It's pretty good, and at least gives my modern guys something to play with.

I've got the actual builders plans for a PBR and an Elco Boat (plus a bunch of others). Someday... someday...

I remember reading awhile back (Feb 01?), in the one and only fan club newsletter that was ever sent to me, about 21st making boats/ships. As usual, nothing yet.

I would love to see some 1/1200 or even 1/2400 scale WWII ships made. They could do them in sets of 6-10. Small task forces to game with.

I think a higgins boat would rock in 32X. I use BMC higgins boats.

A motorized PT boat with an exclusive JFK fig would be cool too.

i know that i've stated that i would kill a man for a 1:18 intruder, but i would kill 10 men for a PBR, its has got to be one of my all time fav nam era items, would buy bunches if they were ever released.
