Small Scale Military Headquarters

Taowan makes metal models. Some good, some with problems. That said, this pic of new models knocks my socks off.

First the CCKW, and then the M-35. I can see the M-35 as a Vietnam gun truck. I've got a drawer full of .50's, gradade launchers, sandbags and gatling guns just crying out to me to mount them in a duece....



Oh, and the modern armored car is nice too...

2012 is going to be a banner year for 1/6..

This is for is 1/18 and 1/6 guys. You know who you are..

Pretty neat stuff

I particularly like the M126 Stryker and the Navy DPV buggy.

I saw those over on OSW, how much does something like that run?

Too bad we all die in 2012.

Nice. Would have to sell a real car just to make room, though. A few years ago 1/6 was being eclipsed by smaller scales. Now smaller scales are all but gone and 1/6 is getting all the cool stuff.

No word on prices yet. Probably in the $550 to $850 range. All metal, rubber tires.

WOW! Those look really nice. I was looking at the Scout Car. Amazing.

Those look like prototypes with bare metal and the windows aren't clear.

Mostly pressed metal like a 50's Tonka then?

I imagine heavy but durable.

Too bad the stryker runs that high in price - it is one sweet mamma jamma!

The Taowan line is sure more than pressed metal like the Tonka. Mostly nice vehicles. Check out "Taowan" on eBay and you will see a good sample of their vehicles.

I can see a couple in my man cave...., especially their Scout Car, which has been sold out for awhile. All their stuff is around if you look hard.
