Small Scale Military Headquarters

Ok, let's give this Parts Box idea a try. See how useful it is to members. As far as having 'someone' clean up the old posts, well, the individual who made the post can be responsible for this. Everyone has the ability to edit and delete their own posts. Icons for this are in the top right corner of the individual post.

So, let's see how it goes..

To all:
Had a brainstorm of sorts. Ok it was just a small drizzle.

There are many of us here that have every 1/18 figures, vehicle, plane etc made by 21st Century and BBI and others plus duplicates.
As we collect, we gather an extra arm, rifle, canteen, fuel tank etc. in our parts box or boxes.

But for the new members just starting out, they don't have that extra piece to fix or replace something that is missing or broken.

So, what do you guys think about a sticky under the Sell/Trade section for just loose parts that we are looking for or want to sell?

You could post:
Selling-
(5)S1 Canteens - 1.00

**********************

Needed-
(3)Vietnam flashlights


Something like that...
What do you guys think?
P51 and AFerg- what are your thoughts?


As a side note, can we have someone clean up (remove) the posts that:
A-Sold
B-No response within 2wks-month

good idea, I have a bag full of rockets,bombs,drop tanks etc etc.

I think it's a useful tool for others to acquire the small items that you otherwise wouldn't get.

Great idea, Razor!! I like the 'cleaning up' idea too!

Both are good solid ideas. I think we all have small parts as well as the larger stuff. So something like this would help ALL.

The clean up goes without saying I think.

Does anyone else make casts of these types of parts? I made casts of a bunch of modern BBI pouches, canteens, ect for use on custom figures. I can't exactly share copies with anyone right now, since I'm still stuck in Iraq, but I could possibly trade off extras when I get home this fall...
Someone else should think about casting these type of parts. Especially since I don't do WWII and have not cast any of that stuff.
I'll see if I have any pictures of casts to share...

Don,
You doing good and keeping your head down over there?
We miss you back here. Be safe!

If you could post a pic from where you are, I would be interested in seeing your casts.

I don't know how to cast, but would really like to learn.
Anyone else out there cast items???

Thanks AFerg for setting up the Parts Box Stick!
I will take the opportunity to thank AFerg and P51 for their time in keeping up the board and giving us big kids a place to PLAY!

Here is my first Parts Box entry-

Needed:
M60 Mutt mount or complete pole and mount.
This is not like the willy's jeep MG mount.
Email me: [email protected] if you have one available

Sell / Trade:
-Lot of 5 pairs of 21st S1 US fixed/moveable arms
-3 BBI rifles with scopes and wire stock (M-14s?)
-1 BBI .50Cal Machine Gun

All or Each item can be purchased/traded for individually
Email me: [email protected] with any questions

Here is a picture of a few cast spares I have with me. I have dozens of each and others at home and once I get back there I may have to offer them up as trade fodder.
Also, here is a link to a great tutorial on making molds and casting parts: http://www.ironcowprod.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=319
There are also some good tips on this subject and other customizing topics at http://www.ffurg.com/

All these are in great shape and Id expect the same in return. THX

Sent you a PM, Emil Frand

Looking for the Gun mount on the RC PZ IV and MG42 that goes with it.

Also looking for the gun for Fallshirmjager Cpl. Wenzel and his helmet.

As well as the Dusty Trail HALO figures.

Has anyone got a BBI F/A 18 or F16 Pilot spare or moreso the helmet-head with hose??

This would make also a Great HALO helmet

Failing that the GI JOE Pilot helmet that came with the Thunderwing & later carded Pilot figures??

Thank`s

I'm looking for german infantry helmets, white washed or regular. I just need a few for some customs. If anybody has any extras, please shoot me a pm.

pm sent

Anyone have any extra drop tanks for the earlier P-51 (Big Beautiful Doll)? Thanks.

i just have a box with a CRAPLOAD of arms, mounts, parts, helmets, everything, probably 130-160 peices. aynone interested?Hers a pic of the lot:



I also have a lot of 25 21ST stands for sale. 25 stands for action figures.

Looking for 21C Vietnam AK-47's for the boatload of NVA I have. 10 RPG's vs one M41 just doesn't seem fair.

I know that in the real conflict the NVA used quite a wide variety of weapons from WWII to French made SMG's, but I pattern most of my dioramas after the Rambo movies so I'm sure you understand.

Grunt,
Have you seen Marauder Inc. on Ebay?
He makes a wide variety of weapons to fit 3 3/4 GI Joes, but fit our XD guys too.
Here is a link to his store:
http://stores.ebay.com/Marauder-inc_W0Q ... Q3a3QQtZkm

Yes. They don't (at least from the online photo's) seem as good as the original XD items. I need to order a few and see them in first person (after paint applied, etc..) to make the call.

Thanks for the reminder!
