False alarm....LG's post was referring to 32x vehicles not 1/18.

No XD armour was shown.

Customs are out there. A former regular on GP site and a super guy, now busy with work (some guys work, I have heard) but he showed me a very neat Janpanther he was making as a custom, a very nice job in 1:18, scratch built from the tracks up. I don't want to call him out but when he is finished I am sure he would send us some pictures.

You never know, he might hit the Lotto and then devote more time to our toys.

Jagdpanther

Post by red69charger » Wed Oct 13, 2004 10:37 am

The only two completed Jagdpanthers I have seen on the board are mine and Normandy's although I know a few other guys were serious about making them. For those who haven't seen it before, I've got a pic of mine at:

With BBi's new sherman hopefully lots of WWII armour and trucks will be in our future... Then maybe 21st will step back in...

Charger:
Your site has some very neat photos. Than 88mm you made, are those 1:16 figures or 1:18 in the diorama??
Very nice job on the half-track also.

I wish 21c would take a look at your stuff and maybe built some. All of yours would fly off the shelves.

Thanks for the compliment. I too wish 21st would do some of these vehicles (and many different ones as well). Maybe bbi will pick up the ball?

The figures in the photos are all 1/18.

Charger's custom pictures include a 1:16 88mm diorama with 1:18 figures.

Has it struck anyone else how the size difference is a match. The heights of the figures look perfect against the 88mm. I thought the 1:16 tanks would overpower the 1:18 figures of ours. Is Charger's 88mm small for a 1:16?? Or am I just seeing something I would like to see. I placed a 1:16 truck alongside 21c tanks and the truck was out of scale, too big.

re Jagdpanther

Just a hello to 21st and BBI, as of the last post there were 311 views on this topic. Someone could sell a S-it load of 1/18th Jagds :) For 21t you've got the panther G , thats the base for the Jagdpanther. BBI lets see what you got. 8)

TTT: I had one of those diecast 88's but ended up selling it because it just looked way too big to me beside the figures. I found i just couldn't be happy with it. For others, the size difference wont bother them much but i definitely find 1/16 far too big for my tastes.

So for me from now on it's either scratchbuild in 1/18 or be patient..
