Re: Will Captain America produce any good 1:18 Items?
The Cap America Greyhound (?) doesn't really interest me ... though I suspect that if my nephews ask, I'll cave and buy one for them.
For me, I'd rather buy another 21c halftrack (either side).

Re: Will Captain America produce any good 1:18 Items?
I did find one at a local Target last week, $32.00 with tax.
It does have potential....it measures L 13" ( 14" with red bumper, you know thats coming off ) W 6" and H 5 1/2".
Comes with a Capt. America Figure and motor cycle, no shield for the figure and the bike needs Pickelhaube rims.
I haven't had time to start any custom work on it but at least I found one.
I'll take some pics with 21st /1:18 around it.

As you can see its not to over scale, the trick will be getting it to look like this...........

Re: Will Captain America produce any good 1:18 Items?
Thanks for the pictures, I'm gonna have to get one of those. Nice to see something that is not underscale.

Seeing it in OD makes a huge difference.YT wrote:Thanks for the pictures, I'm gonna have to get one of those. Nice to see something that is not underscale.
How difficult was it to paint? In other words, if I were to get one and use a Tamiya (sp?) OD spray paint, is it simple enough to mask the parts I want to not change?

MCalamari, I just got out my Bubba paint.... http://www.rustoleum.com/CBGProduct.asp?pid=124 'cause thats what I had at the moment.
I needed it one color to really see what I was dealing with, its not difficult at all. Just mask off the wheels and use which ever paint your familiar with.
There is an M-8 Greyhound at a local museum which I'd like photograph to get some detail pics and measurements.
This is it ......... [img][IMG]http://inlinethumb04.webshots.com/46595/2601545780050888682S425x425Q85.jpg[/img][/img]
I had forgotten I took this one, I just like it.............. yeah, we got him......... [img][IMG]http://inlinethumb01.webshots.com/46528/2760352660050888682S425x425Q85.jpg[/img][/img]

You're speaking my language or better yet, have reached the limit of my modeling ability (well physical models, computers is another matter).normandy wrote:MCalamari, I just got out my Bubba paint.... http://www.rustoleum.com/CBGProduct.asp?pid=124 'cause thats what I had at the moment.
