Im new here

Post by JokersWarPig » Tue Nov 16, 2010 10:31 pm

Hello, as the title says Im new here, but Ive been browsing every once in a while for the last month or so. I was heavily into 1:18 stuff when I was younger (21C and BBI) but slowly I got more and more out of that and into 1:6 and Ive been collecting 1:6 for the past 5 years and have been a member of OSW since 2008. Recently Ive been getting back into 1:18 stuff mainly for the stop motion aspect (its easier to make 1:18 sets then 1:6 sets lol). Im only interested in the vietnam aspect of both my hobbies which is sadly a pretty niche market, so far the only thing Ive managed to nab are a 21C huey and some of the newer 21C vietnam grunts.
If anyone could point me in the direction of the older 21C vietnam stuff (grunts, but mainly NVA and VC and that Navy Seal they made) that would be greatly appriciated

EDIT: Heres what I have, I guess because of my 1:6 backround I like to customiz stuff, I changed the head and added some arms, repainted his OD's a darker green, I felt the longer sleeves where more suiting for a pilot.

Welcome to the forum, JokersWarPig. :D

That is going to be a niche collection, but by being able to do some customs, that should help.

Nice to see some pics on your first post as well.

Welcome JokersWarPig

If you can get them the M-48 and M 113 are great to have. Our own picklehaube has a
mode kit that upgrades the M 113 to Nam status. The NVA and VC figures are at
premium prices so good luck. Excellent job on your pilot.
