Small Scale Military Headquarters

I was sondering if 21st will be willing to launch the first efforts towards a 1/18 Navy?....

for example:

PRB - nam

or

PT boat - WWII

or

Higgins landing boats

or even some

LVT's

what do you guys think?

I really doubt it.

I made a PBR, and RED made the Higgins boat.

I'd like to see each of those made by someone.

Maybe a PT boat with a Kennedy or McHale's Navy fig set.

PBR, sure definite possibility. Already done in prototype form, may be released with the upcoming Platoon line?

Landing craft. Maybe. Be a good way to encourage figure sales.

Waterline U-boat. Slam dunk.

I would love a PT Boat!

I like this thread Ranger. You never know what they might do after the B-25 announcement.

a VN era Swift boat would be real nice

How about a 1/18th U.S.S. Hornet? That will encourage sales of multiple B-25s.

I could see some challenges in doing a full 1/18 cruiser or destroyer or something, but... Would anybody be interested in deck or superstructure sections, kind of along the lines of a diorama/playset? Maybe a gun turret with a section of deck, or part of the superstructure with AA guns?

lol.....yes, like the fact that a destoyer would be over 20 feet long and a cruiser over 30. Lotsa repaint potential though..

Yeah, but I don't want to be the total voice of negativity

Trying to be tongue in cheek about it, but the scary part is that somewhere out there is someone who would most certainly buy one if they built one, regardless of price. And remember the number of responses in this direction when you posted the "most ambitious custom" thread?

Wow.......... Yeah, because clearly you'd have to get the whole series of Flotilla 19 destroyers... heh

We could use a few boats and landing craft.

Flotilla 19... (Scroll to the right)

Maybe a submarine would be more "practical" But I would like to see a higgins and a LCT.

How about a PT boat, followed by a series of 1/18 navy figures, with the Mae West jackets and those cool navy helmets. I am liking this. The idea of portions of a larger ship is cool, too. I can really picture an AA battery from a Destroyer. Or how about a "Mr. Roberts" cargo ship diorama complete with Ensign Pulver and the Captain and his Palm tree? Back to the PT Boat, how about a McArthur figure? We got Patton, after all.

Maybe the big ship idea can be combine with the idea one of you mentioned of building it in pieces.....for example you buy a few sets and put them together to form the final ship!!!!

that would be so awesome!!!........

and then I can buy a bottle of champangene and baptize the ship in the pool!!!!

"All hands on deck"!!!......"VICTORY in the 1/18 scale Fleet"

wow I'm dreaming but it was so cool!

I dont care about ships and small attack boats but I hope you guys get them.

At least I have room for a cruiser in my pool.

I bet you see ships and in smaller scales like 1:32 or 1:72

Don't hate me guys but this should of went into the who cares post.

Please don’t be so negative, I think ships are cool but I don’t have the space or the room, other then that I would love to have one if they every made one.

I think we all need to respect each other’s want and needs

I here you my XD brother

You guys are just not being practical. NOW, if we had a 1/18 LST to load all our 1/18 armor, now that would be something.
